Birds & Brews — Did you know that FM teams up with the Alachua Audubon Society to host bird walks on the first Sunday of every month?

The group, led by volunteers meets at FM and strolls over to .park around dusk for a 45 minute to hour-long informal guided tour identifying all of our lovely aerial pals! The group then flocks back to the brewery to wet their beaks!

The next tour is this Sunday, June 2nd at 5:45 PM. All birding skill levels are welcome; enthusiasm is what matters! Bring your binoculars and a thirst for good craft beer (and if you don’t have your binoculars, stop by anyway, because we’ll have binoculars to loan out)

Become a Frequent Birder - Get a free beer on your fourth Birds and Brews participation after you attend three and fill out your frequent birder punch card!

🍻 THROWBACK FOUR-PACK 🍻

🐟 SALTWATER INTRUSION Gose
This Gose is a tart wheat beer fermented with copious amounts of blueberries, and a little lemon juice. The subtle salinity of this style adds to its refreshment on a hot summer day. | ABV: 4.5%
🧜‍♀️ I BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS Hazy IPA
Juicy, fruit-forward hazy IPA giving off aromas of orange blossom, sweet cherries, and gummy peach rings. ABV: 6.7%
🐍 INVASIVE SPECIES Foreign Extra Stout
A full bodied stout with a rich malt character, reminiscent of chocolate covered cherries. A touch of bittersweet cacao rounds out the malt-sweet finish. Historically, these beers were brewed in England for export all of the world, particularly to the tropics.  The Burmese Python on the label is a highly problematic invasive species in the Everglades. | ABV: 6.6%
📫 SPECIAL DELIVERY #9 Hazy IPA
All Citra hops in the whirlpool and dry hop, resulting in a mélange of passion fruit-lime-melon character. |ABV: 6.5%
