Today, my friend and I went to the very first ever brewery tour for Intuition Ale Works, Jacksonville's latest addition to microbrewing. It was an awesome experience and I am so thrilled to be a witness to Jacksonville's booming culture.
We tasted three of their brews [an IPA, a red, and a stout - yummm], two of which were poured straight from the tanks. All the beers tasted delicious. The owner and brewmaster, Ben, has been home brewing for years now and seems to have the recipes pretty nailed down. He also used to own The Grotto in San Marco and then lived in Northern California for years making wine. What a life.
I'm wearing Silence + Noise jeans, moto boots, black tank from Target, and H&M grey fringe purse.
We heard a train coming and some of the other people on the tour gave us some pennies to lay down on the tracks behind the brewery. When the train didn't come, I told Ben he could go retrieve his flattened pennies at a later date. He voiced concern that the train might derail and crash into the brewery... he knows who to blame now, I guess. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. [Does that happen? Some powerful pennies...]
Their Tap Room Grand Opening Party is on November 20th. Be there or be square.
