Slow Food First Coast Slow Down at Intuition Ale Works
6:00pm – 9:00pm
A food fair of sorts that will feature local restaurants, farmers and artisans that take pride in sourcing their produce and ingredients locally. Tickets are $15 and include food samples and one Intuition Ale Works brew. All money from ticket sales goes directly to Slow Food First Coast. To purchase tickets and learn more about participants click here.

We’ll also tap a keg of Sun Ray Wit infused with habanero, mango, peach and pineapple. Spicy.

Tapping this spicy ladies brew gives us an excuse to mark the entire month with celebrations of women and to raise money for Girls Rock Jacksonville! $1 from every pint of The Siren sold in the month of May goes to this local non-profit summer camp that helps girls realize their musical and individual potential.

Cinco de Mayo is also National Homebrew Day and we are hosting a Big Brew Day in our courtyard from 10am to 5pm for CASK members and other homebrewers.

Salud!

Look for the book donation boxes in the tap room or speak with one of our staff. Even better – come to the Shircliff Society meeting the evening of Thurs, May 3rd from 5:30pm to 7pm in our tap room to meet the young professionals of St. Vincent’s and learn more about the Early Childhood Literacy Intervention Program at St. Vincent’s Family Medicine Center !

Come visit us during the Tour de Farm this Sunday, April 22nd from noon to 5pm!

We’ll be pouring beers at Twinn Bridges Farm in Maclenny. We’ll have a variety of canned beers for sale and all proceeds will go to Slow Food First Coast. Bring cash!

We’ll be joined by our friends at Bistro Aix. If you’d like to pre-order a farm-fresh lunch from Aix click this link to see the menu, pricing and how to order.
