Sierra Nevada's Nooner
The Nooner is Sierra Nevada's take on the classic German-style pilsner—one of the original session beers. Nooner is easy drinking yet packed with the big flavor of spicy and floral whole-cone hops. Its brilliant golden color begs you to take a sip and sink your taste buds into an extremely welcoming beer, full of flavor and balanced by a crisp, dry finish.
European Street
For over thirty years, European Street Cafe has been staple of Jacksonville's tradition. Beginning in Regency Square Mall in 1980, as a German/NY deli style bar with wood stools and tiled tables among imported bottle beers and wine, we've grown in name, size and location. Now with four free-standing buildings in favorite Jacksonville neighborhoods, we are proud to have become the places where locals congregate and invite visitors to meet.
