Barley Mow Brewing Company out of Largo, FL has completed their expansion into their new 25,000 sq. foot facility. They are currently brewing on their brand new 30 bbl brewhouse that was fabricated in Saint Petersburg, FL by BrewFab LLC.

To celebrate the expansion and hard work they have put into their new facility they will begin to spread their footprint around the state. Including launching in the Jacksonville market late February. They will be hosting a few events around town, we have the details for you below, and will be attending the Riverside Craft Beer Festival on February 28th.

“We wanted to create unique events that fit with our image and philosophy while still being approachable. We believe that our beer is for everyone. Our entire staff believes in our mission statement ‘Simple. Honest. Craft’ and we want that to reflect in all aspects of our brands and brewery,” says Thomas Barris, Chief Marketing Officer at Barley Mow Brewing Company.

Their core beers, which will be featured at the events around Jacksonville, as well as at Riverside Craft Beer Festival include:

Quackalope – American IPA, 6.8% ABV. A traditional American IPA – citrusy, piney, and refreshing.

The Unkindness – American Black Ale, 7.4% ABV. This is the beer that got it all started. We used a ton of hops for both bittering and aroma. It’s dark, but don’t be fooled, it’s not nearly as roasty as it appears.

Selkie – Belgian Rye Pale Ale, 5.1% ABV. This unique beer has a combination of fruity Belgian yeast and rye spice followed by a smooth biscuity finish. It’s citrusy, herbal, and delicious.

Maven – Nitro Milk Stout, 6.5% ABV. This Milk stout has roasted malt character balanced by a silky smooth sweetness that makes for an easy drinking full flavor stout

Cigar City White Oak Jai Alai Returns!

Cigar City is releasing their highly sought-after White Oak Jai Alai for the first time in 2015!

” This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained.”

Look for this beer in 4-pack cans at retailers across the state as well as on draft at select craft beer bars!
