Stopped by Kingmaker Brewing to try their cider and eat food from El Cubano Jax. Kingmaker and El Cubano Jax have teamed up, and I am thrilled about that. I got the High N Dry which is a Dry Apple Cider. I don't drink beer so I like to find a brewery/bar that has a good Cider. I will definitely be back. read more

King Maker Brewing is a chill, industrial-style brewery. They have the best sours! The Pineapple Upside Down Cake is my go-to. Hubby loves the Royal Red and Oktoberfest. Great for larger groups since they have plenty of standing room, couches, and even a Biergarten. They also have a bunch of games to play while drinking and hanging out with friends. Can't wait to stop by again very soon! read more

First time here... good experience. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area has plenty to do- foosball, pool tables, golden tee, corn hole, Jenga, toys for kids. There's a permanent food truck on site- El Cubano Jax. Didn't try it because we had other plans but the menu looked good. Service was pretty quick for only having 1 bartender when we were there. It was a nice, chill spot to have a few brews while the kids were playing. Only suggestion would be to add a TV out in the warehouse area-- we went somewhere else so we could watch the derby read more

We stopped into King Maker to refresh and refuel after an afternoon of curio and vintage shopping. It was the perfect choice. King Maker Brewery had a nice amount of diverse styles on tap (I am fan of sours and was not disappointed) and the kitchen had upscaled what are often considered to be bar food standards. We tried burgers and chicken sandwiches - and enjoyed them all - but the corn bites and fried pickles are what stood out for our group. Both the bites and pickles were lightly breaded and fried perfectly. Crisp outside, molten inside. The pickle's sharp vinegar cut the oil beautifully. If I could get an order now, I would. There were a good number of options on tap ensuring something for everyone. We tried the Ziggy Salz and Sweet Caroline, and both lives up to their names. The Ziggy was salt forward, but not tongue burning, and the Sweet Caroline was not cloying. We also enjoyed their dry cider which reminded us of some of our favorite British local brews with it's crispness. The testing room itself is pleasant, clean, and decorated with the work of local artists. The staff was fun, knowledgeable, and took great care of our party. Things to know: * Even more variety to be trapped in the months to come as the brewery brings additional equipment online. * There is a beer garden if you'd prefer to sit outside. * King Maker also has an event space, which may be just what you need, or may cause some parking heartburn depending on whether it is you event or not. read more

Beer is okay. We got a flight which is always fun. They have a BBQ food truck that's here on Fridays. The other food trucks are on their website. BBQ was delicious. They have some glass blowing classes which is cool. They also have pottery classes too. Wide area where people do the arts and crafts and smoke cigars and play ping pong and pool. Lots to do and space to spread out and hang out with friends. read more

Great beer!!! Great owner!!! Service always on point!!! Love how spacious and industrial looking this place is.

King Maker Brewing has one of the best vibes of the Jax breweries and some of the best sour beers I've tried! Came here on a Sunday afternoon after lunch in Riverside after seeing how many sours were on the menu. We ordered the flight inside and immediately took it to one of the picnic tables in their open air section. There were darts, games, and a live band inside. What a lovely way to spend a sunny day! They also had amazing looking pretzels which sadly we did not try since we were full. It also looks like they have a lot of cool events during the week. As for the beers, each one was tasty but the kiwi melon sour was by far my favorite! You could really taste the melon in it- super refreshing! Thanks for a great experience King Maker- we'll be back again soon (and this time we'll try the pretzel!) read more

Had a great time visiting this brewery. I loved that they had nonalcoholic options. There's a food truck on site that has amazing burgers and fries. If you stop in you must try the cheese fries w the pickle sauce. The food is fast and very good. This brewery is a playful spot complete w tons of board games to enjoy while you sip. Love the casual feel inside. Our bartender Kyle was fantastic and assisted us in our beer choices for a satisfying experience. read more

Great beer, great service and an amazing layout. I almost didn't stop here as this was the last place on my list to try but I'm so glad I did. This is one of the best breweries in Jax, hands down. They have everything for adults and children to stay occupied. If I lived in the area this would be my go to spot to hang out. I'll be back for sure! read more

What an amazing experience! Everything was wonderful. The beers were excellent with lots of options. The food was delicious, it's dog friendly with a cute outside area & the owners are super nice. You must come here-you will love it!! read more

Stoped in for a drink before seeing Aladdin. I tried a sour beer and it was amazing. The name escapes me now but the staff was super friendly. They also had the cutest tap room with art all over. There was an additional warehouse space with picnic tables. Really enjoyed it! Also I was told there is glass blowing occasionally and members can blow their own mug- not sure of the details but how cool is that? Will be back! read more

I saw a really cute Octoberfest ad on Facebook so we invited another couple (who were in Germany a number of years) to go with us. I'm glad they did not dress in German garb bec this was a very casual place. It has 3 areas, 1st you go in a building with a/c and tables etc to get beer and order food, then you could go outside to an Astro turfed enclosed area (number of people with their well behaved dogs and kids) with a food truck (makes the food and then brought to you) in front of it an open building behind it, the 3rd area (the building behind) was a large roofed open space that had numbers of picnic tables, 2pool tables, other game options (including a huge play area for kids-playhouse, etc.) and the brewing vats to the side. What I saw and wondered about was they also had a trailer parked inside that showed "Brunt Ends" the glass blowing company. I guess they offer workshops there too...cool! The pretzel was fresh, warm, buttery snd good! There was a great variety of beers and our informative bartender worked with us to get the right one for us. We wanted chicken schnitzel but they were out so we order a sampling platter of bratwurst, knockwurst and kielbasa all grilled, with two mustards..also very good and plenty for two! To top it off this night that had people trying their comedy routines out.... read more

I came from there Octoberfest event, had a couple beers, a turkey leg and a pretzel it was pretty good.

I'm not sure if she was the main bartender but I may not return. read more

My wife and I met up with some friends on a Wednesday night for trivia with DJ Se7ven. It was our first time at King Maker. Annie was behind the bar. I know her from a different bar and she always does a good job. King Maker is pretty far from my house so I'm not sure when we'll be back. Our friends live 5 minutes away so hopefully they'll give us a reason. read more

We went to King Maker Brewing for a Vets on TAP networking event. It was wonderful from the atmosphere, venue, and staff to the great drinks. They have an inside area, large parking lot (plenty of room for a food truck, which we had- the Butt Hutt- which was delish). Christy on the outside bar and Garrett on the inside bar were fabulous and kept the drinks flowing with a good selection and good recommendations. Chas, the owner, was also there and was very personable and seemed to be a great local owner. They have a huge outdoor, covered space with tables, games, and different areas. They have music outside as well and they were able to turn it off when we needed it for our event. Thank you for supporting Vets on T.A.P. While we supported your local business! read more

Warning- I am not a beer drinker, I've now been to this location 3 times. Once with John so he could sample their beer. I was impressed with their commitment to display local artist works- and the second visit had different art displayed! So they rotate artwork in and out. My second visit was because Burnt Glassworks offers small workshops there on site! Heyyy~ I love when Breweries team up with local artisans for classes and workshops done on site! It's always a great pairing. I met my friend Vanessa T there for the glass blowing and she enjoyed a beer and I focused on the projects ahead of us! When I returned the next day to pick up our finished projects I noticed they had a mobile axe throwing caged trailer for patrons to participate in. The covered patio (ish) section has plenty of oversized games, tables and lounging areas. I believe the Glass studio is working on making it a full blown 2nd location (the mobile unit is parked in the back of the warehouse area)! Which is awesome. So even without beer- I give you plenty of stars for being a huge partner in the art community. Thank you! read more

We finally made it over to King Maker. I have been completing my "Jax Beer Trail" passport and this is one of my remaining breweries. Luckily, Bold City Brewery is only a few blocks away. I already had a passport stamp for them. King Maker is new, only about a year old. King Maker definitely has the "industrial" look outside. Inside there is a large bar and plenty of seats & tables. There is also an outdoor patio area and a large warehouse space available for events. There were maybe 20 taps available; both guest taps and there own. No food here but food trucks do rotate through. I had a flight of four: Weihnachtsbock Christmas bock beer Toasted Coconut Honey Brown Ale Podcaster Session New England IPA Doublecaster Hazy IPA All were pretty good, especially the Coconut Honey Brown. Overall I'd like to go back and try more! read more

I would put zero if I could!!! #jaxaletrail stop 3 of the day and the worst service ever! "Bartender" sold me a frose that was definitely not frozen and when I asked is this flavored he said no. Upon serving it to me I said this is not very good.... And it tastes like bananas. I asked if I could try the Pina Colada before purchasing because I didn't want to waste his product... to which he said "NO you can buy it that's pretty much it" ... I will never come here again and will pass the word... don't be so proud of your subpar products sir!! read more

New brewer in Jacksonville FL Riverside area on King St.

Had the Raspberry blonde And it was very good and smooth. Staff is very friendly and the place is very very clean. They have an outdoor seating area that sits on the loading dock where the beer is brewed. The decor is very laid-back and clean. Staff is cleaning after anybody leaves the facility so you shouldn't worry about coming to this place. Parking is limited so walk or bike. read more

Quality selection of beers and plenty of seating. Boiled Peanuts? Yes! *pro tip, don't eat the shell. Grab a pretzel, it's larger than the size of your head and plenty of pretzel goodness to share with your friends. The staff is friendly and welcoming so relax, snack, and vibe with your friends here. Great for groups, too. read more

Awesome place, parking is super limited as it's a modified loading dock. I went on a Thursday and had front row but definitely believe this won't be the case on hot hours. Nonetheless, the main taproom is to the left, I got lost on this when I first walked up, staff was awesome and the beer was just the same! Definitely coming back! read more

Great selection of beers and great service. Personal preference, but I liked the IPAs better than the stouts but they were all good!

Had a wonderful time here. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. They talked to all of us to help us find our favorite brews, they were all very good. The food truck offered delicious food too. There was a large group of us, so we tried everything, all fantastic! read more

This is simply a cool place to hang out. The beer is solid. I tried the hazy New England IPA. My wife tried to the gose which she enjoyed. You can sit and hang out in their brewhouse with comfy couches, corn hole, and ping pong or you can opt for the well-polished bar inside. They do host live music. This is a nice spot off the beaten path to enjoy some tasty suds. read more
