About Us
Meet your Proprieters
Warren and Michelle are both retired Navy Officers, Warren a Submariner and Michelle a SeaBee. They have been a part of the Legacy Team since the fall of 2020 and only recently took over operation of the entire business. Stop by Legacy Ale Works and you will experience the benefits of their commitment to excellence, quality and service!
Our Founders:
“We are Matt and Liz, and we LOVE craft beer!”
“We have a passion for life and have enjoyed beers from all around the country! From Waterfront Brewing in Key West to Russian River in California, we have incorporated the best practices from hundreds of the many breweries we’ve visited into our home at Legacy Ale Works. Stop in and you may see us, sometimes along with our kids, in the taproom at our brewery in Jacksonville working and enjoying the fruits of our labor.”
WHERE WE ARE
We’ve grown, and we’re excited about where we are!
After several challenging years, thanks in part to Covid, our brewery in Bartram has grown in leaps and bounds. In 2022 we expanded to take on a new active managing partner, Warren Huelsnitz. Warren’s personal journey in the craft beer industry began in 2019. After 21 years of service in the U.S. Navy and experience as a high-energy particle physicist, Warren became restless and started looking for the next challenge in his life. So, he took up all-grain home brewing and later gained professional brewing experience at Veterans United Craft Brewery. Warren joined Legacy as an assistant brewer in the fall of 2020. In 2022, he became a co-owner and managing partner. In May of 2024, Warren and his wife Michelle took over the entire operation when Matt and Liz decided to retire from Craft Beer and focus on their family. But that’s not the only way we’ve grown!
WHERE WE’RE GOING
It doesn’t stop here!
Our taproom and brewery expansion is allowing us to produce and serve some of the best craft beer in Florida. We’re hosting amazing events and catering to all tastes, from food and beer pairings to craft beer events in Jacksonville, and even the city’s best Oktoberfest celebration. Our private event room allows us to host groups of 20 to 60 people, from corporate happy hours to rehearsal dinners and everything in between!
We’re looking to the future with the possibility of expanding our reach through distribution so that we can reach more beer enthusiasts across the state or even the country. In the meantime, we’re having a blast and are enjoying every minute you’re with us in the taproom!
