Pinglehead Brewing brings Banana Pancakes Ale to Jax Beer Week

In honor of Jax Beer Week, Pinglehead Brewing of Orange Park has brought out a beer from the more creative side: Banana Pancakes Ale.

What is Banana Pancakes Ale?

Banana Pancakes – Brewed with English Malts, Flaked Oats and honey malt, which imparts a bready, medium body and a hint of honey flavor. Using Noble Hops for subtle sweet tempered aromas and fruity flavors. Then a finish with lingering Banana Flavors procured naturally from Hefeweizen Yeast. This easy drinker clocks in right about 11%.
Pinglehead approves this brew for rainy day weather, sleeping in, weekends and not doing what you’re supposed to.

Jax Beer Week is going on now throughout Jacksonville.

Pinglehead Brewing is located at 14 Blanding Boulevard in Orange Park (Jacksonville).

Pinglehead Brewing gets new head brewer

Orange Park- Pinglehead Brewing Company, the brewery inside Brewer’s Pizza of Orange Park, announced a relatively new face is taking over their brewery. Aaron Taylor has worked up his clown feet to become the Pinglehead head brewer. Aaron takes over the reins of Pinglehead after working as an assistant brewer under former brewer Keegan Malone with the assistance of Aardwolf brewer Michael Payne.

Aaron has some big shoes to fill, and not just because Pinglehead’s mascot is a clown. Former brewer Keegan Malone brought several medals home from the Best Florida Beer Championship and has departed from Pinglehead.

Photos are up on Pinglehead’s Facebook page of Aaron and his recent brewing experience at Pinglehead.
