This is probably only useful for
@Chin Diesel but we stopped at several breweries and beer spots on our trip to FL and GA.
St. Augustine:
Rendezvous Beer Bar. Fun hole in the wall spot loaded with bottles/cans from around the world and 6 taps. There's a restaurant separate from this place. In Old Town.
Fernandina Beach: Amelia Island Brewing Co. (
AIBC) - beer was meh at best. Location is great.
Mocama - excellent beers and a really nice taproom. Converted from a car dealership.
St. Simons Island:
Barrier Island Brewing - Good beer, nice tap room, big covered patio with fans. Considered watching the Miami game here. Terrible parking situation. Village Inn & Pub is where we stayed and the Pub is solid and gets a lively crowd.
Jacksonville: In the older Springfield neighborhood that used to be "the hood".
Historically Hoppy Brewing - Beer was ok. They have no idea what a NEIPA is, like most places in the south. Tap Room was nice.
Strings Sports Brewery - Now this is a concept. Massive place, loads of TV and some games. Mostly open to a large patio, and it even had parking. Beer was actually good too.
