Local 44 bottle shop opens this afternoon
The Local 44-associated bottle shop we first mentioned nearly a year ago is ready for action — Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida will open the doors to the long-in-the-works addition, just a few feet east of the Spruce Street side of L44 (4333 Spruce St.), today at 3 p.m. To incentivize: One free cask pour of Yards ESA per visitor.
"People think of Local 44 when they think of beer in this neighborhood," says Maida, so opening a retail space was a logical move for them. Their cold case features upward of 500 mix-a-six choices, and beer geeks will flip over the library-style large-format selection, situated up a short set of stairs in the back. (We spy Jolly Pumpkin La Roja, Dogfish Head Noble Rot, Kriek de Ranke, Lost Abbey Serpent Stout and Aventinus among the options.) There are a few bar seats up near the register for drinkers to crack open their purchases, or have a few glasses off the Local 44 beer engine, which has been routed this-a-way to provide shoppers a fresh-poured respite.
The bottle shop will be open Sunday to Thursday from noon to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to midnight. The phone number, awesomely, is 215-222-CANS.
