Bottlenose Brewing will be located at 9700 Deer Lake Circle. The microbrewery will feature 50 taps from around the sunshine state
What will the food menu look like?
Our kitchen will feature a small bar style menu with a focus on high quality food and ingredients. Gourmet burgers with hand made patties, crispy flat bread pizzas, juicy brats, blue cheese chips, nachos, and hummus are just a few of the items that will be featured.
What made you decide to open in the former World of Beer location in Tinseltown for the new brewery?
The Southside of Jacksonville and the Tinseltown area in particular is an unsaturated area in terms of micro breweries that feature a tap room and kitchen. In the heart of Tinseltown with many established business and attractions in the area and being right in the center of Jacksonville this location made too much sense not to pursue.
The Jacksonville craft brewing scene is enjoying explosive growth. Why is now the right time to open the new brewery and how are you looking to distinguish yourself within the market?
Again we will feature 50 taps focused on crafts beers from the Sunshine state. The location, which we referenced before is ideal for Jacksonville’s newest microbrewery, tap room, and kitchen. The ability to brew on site and the high quality bar fare will be major draws for us. Add the indoor and outdoor seating with a pet friendly patio, a plethora of TVs for the sports fans and we feel that we have a dynamic and unique combination.
Our planned opening is late February to early March. We will announce a definite date on our social media platforms soon!
