Last week, we told you about the Memphis Taproom crew’s new beer garden and hot dog truck. Today comes news Brendan “Spanky” Hartranft and Leigh Maida are in lease negotiations for Local 44 Bottle Shop, a retail operation connected to their Spruce Hill bar, Local 44 (4333 Spruce St.). "The two parts of Local 44 will communicate, but they’ll be separate experiences," says Maida, who’s “hoping to create kind of a record store vibe” on the bottle shop side. Expect a selection of 400 beers for carryout, "heavy on the education/enthusiasm part of craft beer ... no snobbery. [Customers will be able to] chat with the resident beer geek about what's new, etc." No official opening date just yet but stay tuned to Meal Ticket for more.
