Barley Mow Brewing Co. Comes to Jacksonville February 25th

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

Wicked Barley Secures Waterfront Location in Jax’s Southside

It’s been just over a hot minute since we (Void) premiered our Bruval issue, which featured a wonderful selection of our city’s craft breweries. Although a large amount of our coverage has cooled off, new brewing establishments are showing no hesitation in setting up shop in Jacksonville.

Wicked Barley Brewing Co. is the latest addition to Jacksonville’s craft breweries, securing a 2.33 acre site just last month. The property sits on Goodbys Creek, off of Baymeadows Road, in Jacksonville’s Southside. The partnership in this venture consists of locals Brett Baker, Tobin Turney and Phil Maple.
