    Beer menu
    Steve C.

    First visit and I only tried two beers here: Cardinal Truth and Joy. Both fell flat on flavor IMO, yet both beers were hyper-carbonated to the point it almost lightly burned the palate. I couldn't finish the two 5 oz samples that I purchased. Atmosphere is clean yet a bit barren; we thought it felt like a cafeteria.

    Great little brewery and equally delicious food. Cute atmosphere, friendly and helpful service, and nice beer selection.

    Supreme pizza

    6/7/25. Just stopped in a pizza, salad and wings. All were good! AND we have lunch for tomorrow.

    Our pizza.
    Joe M.

    Came at the recommendation of an acquaintance who claimed they serve best pizza in FB. We were greeted enthusiastically when we approached the bar where you order. The wine list is inadequate but the beer list is fantastic. The Margherita Pizza was disappointing. The outer crust was delicious but the inner crust was paper thin and limp. Hardly any mozzarella. It was a late Sunday afternoon so perhaps the pizza chef was off. We will give it another chance.

    Revisited this place on this trip, and it's still amazing! Service, food, and cleanliness were all top notch!

    First Love Brewing is an adorable brewery that is located right around the corner from the Amelia Schoolhouse Inn. It was the perfect spot to get great service and grab a quick flight. Their pizzas looked amazing and we'll definitely be back to try their food menu next time!

    Asian wings
    Carley S.

    We loved the wings. Cute atmosphere but super hard to find seating when it's busy. The bill was a bit high. We expect that for Fernandina but don't think we should be paying the same amount for food and drinks at a brewery as we would be paying at a sit down restaurant with nice cocktails.

    Huli Huli Wings
    Kristine S.

    After a bike day up in the Fernandina Beach area, we needed some beer and pizza. Hubby suggested First Love Brewing and I was all in on that idea! We ordered a couple flights and enjoyed them outside while sitting at one of the patio tables. The daisy honey blonde was my favorite. Close second was a beacon of light, a very tasty milk stout. Hubby's favorite was the cardinal truth IPA. We went inside to order food and grabbed a table since it was getting chilly outside. We ordered huli huli wings and a hot honey pizza. The wings came out pretty quick. They were sensational! We both loved these wings. Crispy, sweet, savory, tangy. A unique flavor for sure. The blue cheese was on point as well. Our pizza arrived shortly after the wings. Hot, crispy and delicious! The crust was perfection! Pepperoni cups were yummy. There was a perfect balance between heat and sweet. We both loved it. It was also just the right size to share without taking home a bunch of leftovers. Highly recommend! We will most definitely be back very soon!

    truffle fries - the best part!
    Misty M.

    A simple beer and pizza joint - bummed they were out of wings when we visited. However, the truffle fries were an awesome surprise. About 10 different beers on tap (no true IPAs) but a decent variety to choose from. We may stop by again when we're in the area to give them another try!

    A flight with the beautiful tree in the background
    Jennifer P.

    We were staying at a B&B across the street and after a day of travel this cute little brewery was perfect. The place was hopping and all the inside tables were full but we grabbed a picnic table outside where the weather was perfect. I ordered at the bar and they gave me a number sign to put on the table for the food server to find me. We had Huli Hulu wings which were delicious. Crunchy with a sweet Hawaiian style BBQ sauce. We also had a Momma Maria pizza. It is medium in size but perfect to share with the wings. It had meatball pieces and ricotta on it. It was also very good. We had a flight of 4 mini beers and relaxed. All in all, a very good brewery with lots of locals and tourists alike.

    Piping hot cheese pizza. Oh so cheesy!

    One of the best places we visited while on the island. We tried to go a few weeks ago when we were…read morein town, but they were so busy and there was zero parking. So we made a second trip and weren't disappointed! The pretzel charcuterie board was absolutely fantastic! I loved everything about it. Especially the pretzel with the beer cheese. My husband had a pork chop sandwich and said it was delicious. You certainly get a lot of food for your money. Matt was a beast behind the bar. We were absolutely amazed at how quickly he was making multiple drinks and getting beer from the taps. He gets five stars alone! He was very personable and funny. Him and his sidekick Ryan ("Matt Ryan" LOL). Good vibes and a GREAT beer selection too!! I would definitely visit here again when in town. Highly recommend! Go early, parking can be a little difficult.

    Stopped in for dinner with my wife at this local brewery…read more The business is located close to the pier but not in the pier area. The business has a small parking lot it shares with other businesses, there is also a small gravel lot beside it that you can park at. If you go at a busy time, parking can be a chore. Upon arrival, the business was busy with both inside and outside seating filled but we were seated immediately at a table with both bench and chair seating that shared the bench with other tables. There is also bar seating and you can sit at a high top that borders the brew stations. It took a few minutes for us to meet our server who took our drink orders. Soda for her and non-alcoholic IPA for me. It took our server a while to bring our drinks and she forgot my IPA so she had to go find it. Once we had our beverages, we ordered our food. We started with the bacon wrapped blue cheese dates - the dates are served on tooth picks and looked great but the blue cheese overpowered the flavor of everything else. My wife ordered the special of the day (not on everyday menu) which was shrimp tacos with a black bean pineapple salsa and house made chips and fries. I opted for the house burger with cheddar cooked medium and chips and fries. It took a long time for our food to come out and after observing our server chatting it with a table of her friends who were behind us, I am pretty sure she may have forgot to order it in a timely manner. When our food came it was auctioned off to us by another team member (no server to be found). My wife's tacos were overstuffed and fell apart. I tried one and the fried shrimp tasted really fishy to me, not like fried shrimp is supposed to taste. My burger was okay but nothing special. Really wanted to like this place but it did not live up to our expectations.

    Ruby Beach Brewing Company is located in downtown Jacksonville across from Yates Municipal…read morebuilding. It is reasonable paid parking, about $2 and hour. Inside is a little tight, but it is an old building with naked bricks, historic decor, a good sized bar and tables inside. Outside is a deck with covered tables, another area for corn hole and a food truck which has all the major bar food groups including churros. Sean was my beertender and he really was the best. They have a policy of holding your card for tabs which I really hate, but he made me feel comfortable about leaving my life in his hands. When I first walked in on a weekday during happy hour, it was pretty light, but around 4:30p the place started filling up. Happy hour is Monday - Friday until 6pm and they have 18 taps which qualify for happy hour. Plus they had 3 guest taps, both ciders. Ruby Beach has a mug club, it is about $80 for the year. You get a free beer on Tuesday as well as your own numbered mug. It is limited. So exclusive in fact that they do a raffle every August. The BEER: Crown Jewel Belgian Tripel 11.4% ABV... easy drinking, not boozy and quite delicious, this one will sneak up on you Return of the Mac Daddy Pale Ale 5.5% ABV... the description is "rye pale ale hopped with Amarillo. On the first sip I thought one note, but boy was I wrong. As it warms it has layers. And in my opinion the layers are all good, like a good lasagna. Over the Ditch 15.0 NEIPA 6% ABV... if I was in front of a firing and they gave me a last request, I might choose this beer. Sweet grapefruit and stars... love this! Grit & Glow Lager 5.2% ABV... if you have ever smelled fabuloso that is what I first smelled when I put the beer to my lips, the beer itself is just as perfumey, not for me... but if you like those type of flavors in beer, you might like this one Rosemary In the Rye Pale Ale 5.5% ABV... all day crushable pale ale, with a slight hint of rosemary, basically the Mac Daddy plus rosemary O'Ruby's Irish Stout 5.5% ABV... smooth coffee with hints of toffee, so ver crushable, but it is way better warm Didn't get to try the food on this visit, but on a side note... the bathrooms are both unisex and CLEAN. Ruby Beach has great beer, great service and personality, everything I want in a brewery. Come visit and see for yourself.

Soft bun, crisp smashed burger, and fresh toppings. The loaded tots with pork was amazing as well. Fried tots and healthy portion of smoked pork hit the spot. The cherry on top was the prices.

    Architecture is essential and Aardwolf Brewing reminds me of what you might find in Seattle, but…read moreguess what? Yeah, it's in Jacksonville. I was thinking the outside looks like they made it with Lego, but Lego from an artisan. From what I understand, it was the ice packing plant for the city, converted into a tile shop, converted into a brewery. Really love the end product. I especially love that they have Belgians on tap in Florida, where Belgians are few and far between. The Belgians here, including the hefeweizen were made with love. Before I forget, shouts out to Jeff for answering all my eclectic questions, and being a genuinely all around professional. Love your energy bro, low key and inviting, an authentically good person. The BEER: Weizen Wolf hefeweizen 6% ABV... this is the hefe I remember from Germany, banana and clove goodness BPA Belgian Pale Ale 5.5% ABV... like a party in my mouth, perfectly balanced and so very crushable Hostile Wit-Ness Belgian Wit 4 5% ABV... not what I expected, it has floral notes, is light like jasmine tea with a kiss instead of a bite at the end. And once it gets warmer it opens into something wonderful. St Anthony's Fire Rye Barleywine 10.8% ABV... slightly boozy, a semi sweet, with a delicious finish. This one is one and done. A full pour of this will send you home in an Uber. Southbank Hazy IPA 6.5% ABV... not a basic hazy, some citrus and when it warms up it is so very wonderful I didn't spend much time at Aardworf Brewing Company, but the time I spent was fantastic. The brewer here, Michael, knows how to present a diverse palet of beers right, which says everything you need to know if you want to visit. So very impressed!
