Check out Jacksonville's burgeoning craft brewery scene by exploring the local breweries on the Jax Ale Trail. This hops-inspired adventure includes a Brewery Passport that gets stamped at every location – and you'll snag free beer gear along the way. There are more than 25 breweries on the trail, including some familiar brands like Bold City Brewery, Aardwolf Brewing Company and Intuition Ale Works – the first craft brewery in the state of Florida. You'll also find burgers, fries and other casual fare at some of the locales. Some spots even offer play areas for kids. Just be sure to have a designated driver – no matter who's along for the ride.
You can pick up your passport at the Visit Jacksonville Visitors Center or at your first stop on the trail. If you're posting photos on social media, use the #JAXALETRAIL hashtag as you sip, nosh and have fun throughout the day. And don't miss sampling one of the Jacksonville Jaguar-inspired brews, such as Fishweir Brewing's Stand Up & Shout Duuuval Irish Stout, Aardwolf Brewing's Jag Tears and Engine 15 Brewing's J'Ville Lager.
