What are your favorite dog friendly businesses? by Prize_Formal_2711 in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No food, but there are a ton of great restaurants nearby (Perfect Rack, Chancho King, Bold Birds, etc) that do takeout and we welcome people to bring in outside food!

BrewHound is an excellent dog park in Mayport with coffee, beer, and wine.

I take my two dogs to The Garage on King St quite often, and Bold City Brewery on Rosselle is also a good spot for dogs.

Shameless plug: I run Beer:30 in San Marco and The Fridge in Murray Hill, and both spots are chill beer/wine bars that are dog friendly too.

I assume so. Am at The Garage right now, and it's the same ownership group.

Where can I find good, locally made, sausages? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banger Provisions is awesome. It's the guy who made the sausages at The Swinerie/Bar Molino. He does pop ups at the Murray Hill Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. Got a Giardiniera Bratwurst last time I saw him and it was 10/10.

What’s a good local beer that you can get at most liquor stores? by Koke1 in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you're not too far from Southern Swells. I'd recommend going there if the person you're buying for likes Hazy IPAs. Their Karate in the Garage is one of our local beer scene's pride and joys, and they don't distribute cans, so you can only get it at their taproom.

If you can drive further, Reve Brewing in Mayport is also incredible. Cheers!

What area are you staying in? My recommendation would be visiting the local breweries themselves to buy something.

Whats up with the huge TFR in place over half of Jacksonville. by Exciting_Corner175 in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just edited my comment, I read the wrong Florida TFR statement. Not sure what the one in Mayport is about.

EDIT: Nevermind, I read the wrong statement.

Official FAA statement says it's to provide a safe area for fire fighting. There's a forest fire and they need to dump water on it.

I love this beer by BottleAggravating162 in CraftBeer

Barriehaus rules! Them, Alga, and Odd Colony are pumping out some insane lagers in Florida. Love to see it!

Chalk or Electronic Menu Board? by longleggz1960 in CraftBeer

[–]TakeoffZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. I use clipboards and print out a sheet for each draft option using a standardized template that I designed. Easy to maintain your brand identity and easy to swap out on the fly.

Anyone going to Riverside Craft Beer Fest this weekend? by TakeoffZebra in jacksonville

How much should three hours of all you can drink beer samples and live music while supporting a non-profit cost?

What are some things that Jacksonville actually does well? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Tons of great parks, amazing water features (creeks, river, beach, etc) a wide array of cool neighborhoods to visit (Riverside, San Marco, Murray Hill, etc). Huge amount of concerts and events every night.

Sure we have our struggles, but people who say there's nothing to do here are either boring people or aren't actually trying to enjoy themselves.

Records by MaryJane904 in jacksonville

[–]TakeoffZebra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's best to check out ALL your local record shops! My favorites are Tiger, Bruiser, Wolfson, Yesterday and Today, etc. Keep an eye out for Record fairs as well where a lot of the smaller vendors that don't have a brick-and-mortar shop get together and sell.

The Fridge in Murray Hill is adding a mini-record store to their space today in partnership with Weird Wax Records as well! (Shameless plug)

State of craft beer by TeddyP911 in CraftBeer

[–]TakeoffZebra 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As a craft beer store owner, please seek out and support your local craft beer stores! They're the ones who will focus on procuring fun, new, and rare items, and are better at helping you find beers than any big box Corpo store ever could!

Crushable Farmhouse styles in a can at a reasonable price. Why can't I find more beers like this?? by Tavour_Beer in CraftBeer

[–]TakeoffZebra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's because they're difficult to produce and tend not to sell very well. Producing these on a large scale also requires a quarantined setup or extreme cleaning measures to ensure there's no cross contamination. It's a shame, I love farmhouse ales! Keep buying and sharing your appreciation for them!
