A back-to-back-to-back winner! For the third year in a row, SJ Brewing Company has taken the JaxBest award for best brewery.

For the second year in a row, SJ Brewing Company -- the first brewery in Yulee -- is your choice for Jacksonvilles best brewery. When we first announced them as the winner in 2019, they were just getting started -- SJ Brewing wasnt even a year old yet! Shaun Stewart, the head brewer and co-owner, said the idea to open a brewery started simply with the fact that he and his wife, JoAnn, were looking for a change in their careers. The head brewer made his first batch in 2011 when he got a home brewing kit for Christmas. In 2017, they worked with the county to change the ordinances, and a vote was passed that November.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Its the first brewery in Yulee, and SJ Brewing Company is also the one spot taking the 2019 JaxBest award for best brewery. With more than a dozen of its own creations on tap, SJ Brewing has you covered whether you like red ales, hoppy IPAs, dark porters or refreshing lagers. And whether its casual conversation youre looking for, perhaps a round of trivia or even yoga, SJ Brewing offers all of the above at select times. Check out the event list on its website!
