Nice little place on the main drag in Jacksonville Beach. About 15 of their own beers on tap. I had the West Coast style Head High IPA. Solid beer with no obvious flaws. Good selection of guest wines & ciders for the non-beer drinkers. Very dog & kid friendly. Foosball & ping pong in the back. No food, but you can bring your own. Overall a nice respite from the mass-market-beer pushing restaurant chains that seem to dominate Florida.

Wife Persimmon & I were traveling the good ol' USofA in the Fall of 2016 and found ourselves in Jacksonville Beach, Florida on a lovely November day soon after Thanksgiving.

Friends knew of our beer addiction (and yes! It is just that!) and offered to take us to a local brewery.

Well, we didn't say "no."

A short but cold golf cart ride through town (hit hard that year by hurricane Matthew) we came to the Green Room Brewing on a Saturday afternoon...and fought our way to the first available table not packed with drinkers, children and dogs. Lots of dogs! Although not barking so big plus points for that and the staff for keeping the noise level below the pain threshold.

But this is a community friendly brewery and all our welcome...including these two old folks all the way from California.

The brewery had a good variety of beers although none really "touched" me. The closes "winner" was the Fast Break, a breakfast stout with chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Unfortunately, as is almost always the case, too many flavors crowd out all of the flavors leaving the beer without distinction. The Thin Mint Shakula (an Oatmeal stout layered...but not too much...with mint)was also good.

A small outdoor beer patio took the overflow of customers...the service was fine...so all in all, the Green Room Brewery gets a good nod of approval.

I am sorry though that we only spent a night in Jacksonville Beach...it was lit up for Christmas (all the life-guard stations were decorated as were the palm trees throughout town)...and could not visit the other breweries in town.

But we'll be back...the little burg on the East coast was delightful as were the people, my people, in the brewery
