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.

Great food! The cheese curds were large, cheesy, fried perfectly, and a very large portion. The…read moredouble burger with bacon was phenomenal. 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. Best prices i have ever seen in Jax for a food truck. Definitely a must try. You won't be disappointed

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!

Feel like Tepeyolot Cerveceria should be in Miami. Yet here it is in Jacksonville Florida, as if it…read morewas magically transported here just for me to enjoy. Shout out to Dani for making me feel at home. This is my 2nd visit. My 1st visit was on their Trivia night and the place was packed. I had their taco special with a Rice Lager. The food was great, the beer was better. Had the nachos fries on this visit, but I think they only serve them the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month. Imagine good food and better craft beer and you have got Tepeyolot Cerveceria. There is plenty to do here amongst the vibrant music and atmosphere. TVs for sporting events, a good sized bar with chairs which includes mixed drinks and sprits to compliment the beer and wine. Plenty of tables, pinball machines, shuffle board, darts. There is even an old school video game table with Pac-Man. Oh, and parking is in the back. The BEER: Firm Mood Session hazy IPA 4.5% ABV... bright vibrant grapefruit deliciousness... wow!!! So good and definitely crushable Rule G American Stout 5.5% ABV... little coffee, a caramel hint and maybe dry mint or pine?, this one finishes with high IBUs Manatee River cold IPA 7% ABV... a tad sweet and boozy, it is an IPA, but I could not pick out any flavors. So it is IPA flavored or if spruce had a flavor. LOL Sho' Nuff Rice Lager 4.5% ABV... perfectly balanced rice lager, delicate and delicious El Sonador NEIPA 6% ABV... this is a super dry New England IPA, it tastes like a west coast IPA Episode IV: Return of the Kolsch German Kolsch 4 6% ABV... 8/29/26 steer clear of this one until they make a new batch, tasted like band-aids La Bruja "the witch" Vienna Lager 4.8% ABV... solid, drinkable Vienna lager I would recommend Tepeyolot Cerveceria for any craft beer lovers in or visiting Jacksonville FL. The food here is great and all but one beer was really awesome. My favorites on the visit were the Sho Nuff Rice Lager which I think was amazing and the Firm Mood Session IPA which was a strong runner up.

I've posted about them a few times in the past, so old friends already know i enjoy this spot and count it as an official TacoTimeWithTrish must try place! Today hubby and I enjoyed their chicken tacos, steak tacos, and barbacoa tacos. The barbacoa ones being our absolute favorite ones! Tepey's started its roots as a small food truck during the Covid-19 pandemic while Luis and team worked on building out the brewery. Tepey's focus is based on Mexican Aztec roots and history, and that shines through not only the food that comes out of the kitchen, but through its diverse flavors of beers, with a primary focus on lagers. Tepey's is now a staple in the San Marco neighborhood and hosts many community events from pop up markets, live music, trivia, and so much more! It's no wonder they will be celebrating their 5 year anniversary this upcoming weekend and I, for one, am greatly looking forward to it. I hope that you'll come out and support this wonderful locally owned business and help them celebrate on this milestone anniversary.

There's also a water station on a wall by the bathroom to get your own water. I don't know if they were short staffed or if it's always like that but on a Saturday evening, there was just the one guy behind the bar, taking orders and clearing tables when people were done. All that aside, the pizza, salad, and beer were great! We had a pizza with white sauce, arugula, mushrooms, and garlic and a margherita pizza. Also had a Caesar salad which wasn't your typical salad but was so good. We had a couple of beers, I'm not a huge beer drinker so I can't remember the names. I did enjoy them though. One was a sour. Overall, I'd come back for the pizza when I'm in town again.
