173: Kevin Nash FILE - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a news conference, Aug. 12, 2025, in Tampa, Fla. Jacksonville City Council approves multi-million-dollar pedestrian safety project near EverBank Stadium, saying “the right buyer never came” and the eatery will be closing in April after more than 15 years in Jacksonville. In a social media post on Wednesday, Davis pointed to unrealized downtown growth as one of the dominoes that led to Intuition’s closure.Davis said he opened the Bay Street location in September 2016, believing in the potential of Downtown Jacksonville. “I was confident that Intuition could play a role in helping shape what it might become,” Davis wrote, saying he didn’t regret the ambitious move. “But that ambition was rooted in the hope that transformative downtown development would follow.Davis said long-term sustainability is not possible with Intuition’s current financial burdens.“For nine months, I examined every realistic path forward, hoping the right buyer would emerge with the resources and conviction to carry the brand into its next chapter,” Davis wrote. He said that buyer never materialized, and he has no choice now but to close permanently when the lease expires in April. The final day will be April 24, which will be the brewery’s last Bier Hall show with Yonder Mountain String Band. Davis said the craft beer industry has changed dramatically since COVID with higher costs, thinner margins and relentless competition.He said the taproom, kitchen and Bier Hall will remain fully operational through April 24 and any scheduled private events will still take place.In his post on Wednesday, Davis thanked his staff, their partner Champion Brands, all the restaurants and venues that sold their beer, and the community that “showed up, again and again.” “You drank our beer, packed our shows, and shared your lives with us,” Davis wrote. “Your support mattered more than you will ever know.” Davis encouraged the community to visit the taproom and Bier Hall over the next few months and support the bars, restaurants and stores that carry Intuition beer.A Jacksonville native and proud University of North Florida alum, Francine Frazier has been with News4Jax since 2014 after spending nine years at The Florida Times-Union.Hailing from Detroit, Jonathan is excited to start his media career at News4JAX in November 2023.
