SOUTH WALTON, Fla. – Located in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., Grayton Beer Company is pleased to announce the completion of the brewery’s new taproom, which opened on Nov. 21. Taproom hours will vary until January, and updates can be found on graytonbeer.com or the brewery’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. A grand opening event will be announced in the coming weeks.

Currently open to the public, the taproom boasts a 40-ft. bar made of recycled wood pallets and 25 taps where customers can enjoy all of Grayton’s unique brews. This includes Grayton’s specialty small-batch beers that are exclusively available in the taproom. The bar will also feature guest taps for other craft beers as well as collaboration beers between Grayton and other local craft breweries.

“Opening a taproom at the brewery has always been part of the vision for us at Grayton Beer Company,” says Jamey Price, president of Grayton Beer Company. “We’re really excited for people to have the opportunity to come experience how we make our beer, meet the characters who brew it and then enjoy the beer itself.”

The taproom is the newest upgrade to Grayton’s 30-barrel brewhouse located at 217 Serenoa Road in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. The 30,000 sq.-ft. brewery features a brand new equipment from Allied Beverage Tank (ABT), a Markyl 125 bottles-per-minute bottling line, a state-of-the-art lab run by a Harvard Ph.D. and over 10,000 barrels of annual production capacity.

“Fortunately the demand for our beer has been so high that we’ve never stopped brewing which delayed the taproom opening,” says Price. “Finally being able to add this new element to the experience of Grayton beer is a great milestone for us.”

Engine 15 plans brewery, tap room on Myrtle Avenue

Engine 15 Brewing is planning to build a new brewery, tap room, outdoor beer garden and cannery at Myrtle Avenue and Beaver Street.

Luch Scremin, co-owner of the Jacksonville Beach brewery, said he hopes to have the new brewery open by February. The other features would come later in 2014.

Scremin said he paid $390,000 for two buildings totaling 38,000 square feet at 601 and 633 Myrtle Ave. N. The buildings were occupied by a cabinet shop and metal recycler who vacated when Scremin closed Monday.

“The buildings are really cool,” he said. “One was built in 1919 and the other in 1936. They’ve got all kinds of history.”

And they’re a little more than a mile away from the Forest Street location where Intuition Ale Works owner Ben Davis announced intentions in May to build a brewery. That would require purchase of city property, which has not been finalized.

Engine 15 opened as a bar and restaurant on Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville Beach in 2010 and started brewing its own beer in 2011. Scremin said he had to double the brewing capacity within the first year, as has every other brewery in Jacksonville.

“We’re beyond maxed out now,” he said.

The Beach Boulevard location will remain open, he said. And the new facility, with its 20-barrel brew house and 60-barrel fermentation tanks, would increase annual production from 1,000 barrels to 10,000 barrels.
