BigHit_Ale_Taphandle_FinalNew to Jacksonville this week is an ale that hits as hard as the Jacksonville Axemen rugby league team.

Come join Axemen players and fans at 6 pm this Friday, October 11th at Green Room Brewing as they introduce Axemen Big Hit Ale, a golden ale with flavor that hits as hard as the Axemen. Brewed in Jacksonville Beach by Green Room Brewery’s Brewmaster, Eric Luman, this ale is sure to be a hit with rugby players and their fans who want an ale with bold flavor and champion taste.

The brew makes the Jacksonville Axemen the first sports franchise in the country to have its own beer named after the team…Probably. Fans of the two-time National Champion Jacksonville Axemen can show their support for the team by ordering a pint of Axemen Big Hit Ale the first chance they can, as the limited brew is only there while supplies last.  The Big Hit Ale will also be available for takeaway in 2 growler sizes.

Green Room Brewing is located at 228 3rd St. North in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. 32250, two blocks north of Beach Blvd. You can also enjoy one of the other 15 finely-brewed beers Green Room Brewing will have on tap. And dogs are welcome at Green Room Brewing, so bring Fido to get his picture taken with
