Jax Pub Crawl – January 25th<\/span><\/h3>\n

We have planned another club only event for our members. This event will be a pub crawl across the many breweries in Jacksonville; we will take a party bus so our members can enjoy the days festivities without the worry of how to get there and back. Breweries on the itinerary: Engine 15, Green Room, Bold City, Intuition, Aardwolf and Mile Marker. Cost is $30 per person.\u00a0NOTE – You MUST be current on your annual dues (2014) to attend this event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are leaving at 8am and will get h0me around 9pm. Bring snacks and beer to share on the bus. SAAZ will provide some beer for the bus and light snacks at two of the stops. There will also be\u00a0food trucks available at a few stops. We will be drinking all day, don’t forget to eat something!<\/p>\n
