Yes, very good. They had about 15 taps with enough variety that should please everyone. The only criticism I have about the beer (which is the same criticism I have with my local breweries) is that the only dark they had was a bourbon barrel something or other. All the dark beers seem to be contaminated with bourbon. I drink bourbon, but I can’t stand that flavor in my beer. Give me a standard porter or stout and I’m happy.
Anyway, if you’re familiar with Brunswick, it’s normally where businesses go to die. It’s very sleepy and hard to compete with St. Simons and Jekyll. However, these guys have been open a few years already. Nice size taproom, beer garden and food trucks. So, they’re doing all the right things. I was there on Sunday afternoon and they had a good crowd.
Jekyll Island has gone through a big transformation the past few years. New housing and several new upscale hotels have been built. There’s also a nice, albeit very small, business area with shops and restaurants. If you’re not aware, Jekyll is technically a state park and only 30% of the island can be developed. So, anything new has to replace something old. My wife and I got married at the Jekyll Island Club and we go back every year. It’s nice to see the revitalization, but we also like the laid back atmosphere.
I would have probably have needed a flight.
