OH MY GROWLER!
Or, OMG! as those young folks
say. You may have noticed that we've expanded our product line to include
ACTUAL BEER! And, we're not talking beer flavored watery beverages... we are
talking the real-deal. The good stuff. If it's fun, funky, yummy or hard to
get... it's on our radar (and on our shelves and in our new keg fridge and
growler station). Yup, you heard right! We've put our mad kegging skills to work
and installed a 6 tap growler filling thing of beauty. So grab your growler and
head down to the Falls Church store. You won't be sorry! Don't have a spare growler? We do! And if
you bring in your own growler please make sure it's odor-free, clean, and ready
to fill.
Save-A-Buck Sundays: Sundays from 12 noon
to 4 pm get a 64 oz growler filled with one of our six rotating beers and
we'll take $1 dollar off that beer's price.
Want to know what we have on tap
and on the shelves? Check our website under the Beer Me! tab. And every Saturday afternoon we'll be
pouring samples so you can try before you buy. Check our social media feeds
each Friday for info on what we're tasting that week. Cheers!
Our Beer Me! list is powered by the Untapped app. The app is an easy way to find out about beers,
breweries and venues, share what you are drinking and get recommendations from
friends. Once you download the app, search for myLocal HomeBrew
Shop under "Venues" and you can opt in for notifications
whenever we add new beers. Super convenient!
