The Firm (Membership)
The Firm is our private, invitation-only, supporter group. Modeled after Mug Clubs from our colleagues in the industry, we needed a core group of individuals that could provide continued feedback of their experience with our company, become our first and sustained regulars in the taproom, and be our biggest cheerleaders as our brewery continues to grow and innovate the experience of craft beer. To show our continued thanks to the group we offer many benefits including:
- An exclusive, rotating beer identified by a special tap handle that will ONLY be served to members of The Firm
- A custom designed t-shirt each year
- A special "Firm" branded glass at the brewery for your drinking pleasure
- Early access to bottle releases
- 20% off merchandise
- $1.00 Off each beer, on every tab
- A membership card
- Access to the Owner and Head Brewer via a quarterly meeting
To keep this group elite, we do have some requirements of our Firm members. We currently have 50 members. All members must be "regulars" in the taproom. We want those people who know all of our bartenders by name, and they know yours. We want our Firm members to join us at our quarterly meetings too! If we don't hear your voice then we're missing valuable insight and feedback on your experience in the taproom, the beer selection, and events. Plus, you'll get a free beer for attending!
Yearly fees for The Firm membership are $100. These rules are in good faith and all obligations are within reason. If any member has difficulty meeting a request they have a direct link to our ownership team to discuss it further. Things come up, vacations happen and people may need to leave town for an extended period of time. Members of The Firm are more than patrons, they are a part of the Hyperion family!
Interested in joining? Please send an email to [email protected] to learn if a spot is currently open.

Inspire Creativity, Inspire Change
When Alyce Rogers, a current student of Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, requested to interview our owner Alexandra McKeown, former Douglas Anderson student, for a school project it was met with a resounding "yes!"
Hyperion Brewing Company was built from a passion to be creative on a daily basis and to share an experience with its' patrons. Each time you visit the taproom we want you to try something new, innovative, or bizarre. We enjoy recreating old traditions or brews that aren't always produced in other breweries. Our mission is to brew bold, rebellious beers that are inspired from our team's creativity or from your creativity. Want to see something brewed? All you have to do is ask and Hyperion delivers.
Our brewery was designed to be the local neighborhood bar, to build it's roots in a community where company and neighborhood create a new identity together. Historic Springfield deserves the commercial renaissance that is currently being fueled by new businesses, like Hyperion, moving into the area. Our owner, Alexandra, and the team at Hyperion are proud to be a part of the change brewing in Springfield.

Grand Opening Announcement
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jacksonville, Florida - March 28, 2017
- Hyperion Brewing Company announces it’s grand opening is scheduled for Friday, May 19, 2017 in historic Springfield. This will be Jacksonville’s first Nano-Brewery. The new brewery will serve a variety of beer styles, traditional and innovative, on a 1BBL system, ensuring there is an offering for each guest to enjoy.
A Nielson Household Panel Survey stated the primary reason consumers purchase craft beer is to experiment with different styles or flavors. In response to that survey, Hyperion Brewing will serve a rotating tap list without a “core” group of beers. “We prefer flights to flagships. We believe in freedom of choice.” Owner, Alexandra McKeown says, “Our goal is to let the public decide what our core beers should be. We will use our POS system data and feedback from guests in the taproom to determine which beers to distribute in the future.”
The Grand Opening will kick off on Friday, May 19 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. Doors will officially open at 5:00 p.m. with the first fifty guests set to receive a free branded flight glass and ticket for a free beer at a later date. Springfield based Eddis and Sons Food Truck will be in attendance to serve up legitimate, Philadelphia-style cheese steaks. The opening also leads directly into the Historic Springfield Tour of Homes hosted by SPAR, Springfield Preservation and Revitalization, on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21 from Noon – 5:00 p.m.
Hyperion Brewing will be open during the Tour of Homes.Hyperion Brewing will have fifteen taps, however, there will be a limited selection of it’s own beers available. “We’ll be brewing at a break-neck pace to have as many of our beers ready for the grand opening as possible,” says Head Brewer Troy. The brewery will offer Crowler cans to allow guests to take beer off-premise. Patrons can purchase up to two Crowlers per person during the grand opening weekend.
The Jax Beer Bus has partnered with Hyperion Brewing Company to make transportation from the beaches area to the brewery safe and convenient. The Jax Beer Bus will pick up from Green Room Brewing Company at 4:30 p.m., 6:15 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. All guests must be 21 years or older. Tickets are $15.00 round-trip and include a ticket for a free beer from Hyperion Brewing Company at a later date. The Jax Beer Bus will be BYOLB, “Bring Your Own Local Beer.”
