Craft beer on tap will flow three days then dry up as a Jacksonville microbrewery shutters its doors permanently after five years in business.
Tabula Rasa Brewing announced on social media that it is closing its taproom and brewery at 2385 Corbett St. in the city's Rail Yard District near downtown.
The brewery will open at noon Friday, Saturday and Sunday for its "final days" according to its website and Facebook page.
The owners couldn't be reached immediately for comment.
