They have the best Hazy IPA in town…Karate in the Garage! Also a great space to hang out in with a projector tv, ping pong, and shuffle board.

Everybody's kung fu fighting, or drinking karate in the garage... My wife tried the coconut variant... Delish!I also love the collaboration with Old Coast Ales in St. Augustine.

I’m not much of a beer person. I came with my gf and her room mate. I tried the peach seltzer. Not my kind of seltzer. All of the drinks tasted a little water down. But the vibe was nice. There were some venders here selling things. Overall not a bad experience. Clean bathrooms. Nice bartenders. Quick service. Inside and outside seating.

Good beer and tacos delivered from next door. One of my favorite places after a surf.

We have not been a a brewery in awhile. Sort of breweried out. I had the IPAs which were all very good. Huge place inside. Can order food and bring it in with you or have it delivered. Clean and well maintained. Staff were all friendly. Dog/Pet friendly environment.

Really enjoyed this place. The beer selection and quality was good, my bettender was extremely friendly and helpful. There is a taco place next door that you can order food from which is definitely helpful. I thought it was strange to have this in a strip mall but was pleasantly surprised. Would definitely visit again!

The location and inside seemed nice. They had an ok craft selection but a lot of seltzer options. I get it but also that wasn't what I went for. Prices were a bit higher then I would typically expect. $7.5-8 per beer. I think $7 is about avg from what I've seen these days. I wish they had games or popcorn for the guests who won't get issued state IDs (kids). If they did, our bill would have easily been double.

Great brewery in Jax Beach! Easy to find, lots of parking, friendly service and excellent brews. I've had a stout and a porter from here. Both were great.I liked the open seating and variety of tables to hang out. Live music was really cool also. Southern Swells has quite the vibe going on. Keep it up!

Delicious beer, great seltzers and an awesome staff.
The beer is just not that good unless you like way over hopped and veggied malt beverage. And the noise level is far too loud, no sound deadening and music cranked to the max...forget conversation.

There is a bartender there that will go to the paid receipt credit card pile and grab that receipt and take it to another patron so that patron can take a picture of the receipt with all your credit card information on the receipt. If you insist on going there, do not use your credit card for this is fraud and illegal.

Fun tack room with housemaid beers. Friendly bartender. Definitely kid friendly.

I come here, as well as Engine 15 (located just west on Beach), a couple times a month. I'm always turn at my decision at which brewery to go to, because I enjoy the beer at Southern Swells more (*karate in the garage* is incredible), but the lack of food is really unfortunate. If this location had a kitchen, or even a few microwaveable snacks, it would be the clear choice going forward. They do allow outside food in, which is great, but the options in their parking lot are limited. If you plan ahead and bring some food, it's a wonderful spot.

Way over rated on all the beers on Untappd. It's "ok" but nothing great....Hope this isn't one of the best breweries in town, but according to reviews it may be.
