April is River Month! We will be donating $1 from every beer sold on Thursdays for Women’s Intuition Nights to the St. Johns Riverkeeper.

We’ve brewed a special brew exclusively for River Month: the Riverkeeper Red. It’s an aggressively-hopped amber ale with aromas of tangerine, orange, spice and earth. You’ll find notes of caramel, toffee and orange peel in the flavor. Come by this month to try it and check out our rain barrel in the tap room!

The mission of the St. Johns Riverkeeper is to work on behalf of the community for clean and healthy waters in the St. Johns River, its tributaries and its wetlands, through citizen-based advocacy. Learn more at www.stjohnsriverkeeper.org.

Throughout the spring Monroe's-on-the-Go - the mobile food truck operated by Monroe's Smokehouse Catering - will be parked in our courtyard on Friday and Saturday evenings! They have an amazing menu of appetizers (fried okra, onion rings, brisket nachos), smoked meats (pork, brisket, turkey, ribs) and classic sides (mac n cheese, collards, baked beans, coleslaw) as well as some killer chicken wings - all at very reasonable prices. It doesn't get any more classic than barbecue and beer!

Check out a video of Monroe's-on-the-Go here and photos of their BBQ on our Facebook page.

Seacow Confections will also be parked at the brewery on Friday and Saturday evenings. Their hand-crafted artisanal sorbets and popsicles are perfect for the warm weather!

For the time being we will no longer have a food option at the brewery on Wednesday or Thursday so it's BYOF - plan ahead and Bring Your Own Food or place a delivery order while you're here. We'll provide the beer!

Have you heard about the Slow Food First Coast Tour de Farm happening this Sunday, April 10th from 1pm to 5pm ? Over twenty local farms in St. John’s, Baker, Bradford, Duval and Putnam Counties will open their gates to the community for this FREE family-friendly event. The Tour de Farm will provide people from the First Coast an opportunity to meet the farmers who produce local food and the chefs and artisans who are committed to using locally-grown ingredients.

We'll be pouring beers at Black Hog Farm in East Palatka where our beers will be served with an old-fashioned Sunday afternoon farm meal catered by Chew Restaurant . Reserve your meal today by calling Chew at (904) 355-3793.  More info about the Tour de Farm can be found at: http://slowfoodfirstcoast.com/tourdefarm.html

We're sponsoring the Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival! The festival takes place this weekend, April 8th to 10th , and celebrates animation as a cultural and commercial medium with three days of screenings, parties and panels here in Jax. Our brews will be available at the festival party at underbelly on Saturday night.

Mark your calendars - we're planning a huge Draught Party on Thursday, April 28th for the first round of the draft!

We're going to hook up a big projection screen in the brewery bar and the Intuition Ale team is going to practice for the Jacksonville Backyard BBQ Championships by serving up complimentary BBQ chicken, ribs and pork butt. More details soon!

We are proud to announce that we will be awarded a Slow Food First Coast Snail of Approval this month! The Snail is awarded to restaurants, bars, food and beverage artisans, and retailers in recognition of their contributions to the quality, authenticity and sustainability of the food supply of the First Coast region of Florida.

In celebration of this honor we are hosting a Slow Down event at the brewery on Friday, April 29th. It'll be a food fair of sorts and will bring together Jacksonville-based food businesses that have been awarded the Snail of Approval. Come by to meet local chefs, artisans and farmers, enjoy food samples, browse informational booths and participate in a raffle to benefit Slow Food First Coast.

So far the following local Snails have committed to participating and we are working on recruiting more!: Restaurant Orsay, Chew Restaurant , Bakery Moderne, Eat Your Yard Jax, Bold Bean Coffee Roasters, Seacow Confections and Trad's of Jacksonville Garden Center.
