we discovered the neatest beer & wine store this weekend! hop city is in southside birmingham, just a few blocks from our house. it specializes in craft beer, growlers of draft beer, & wine. & it's pretty much the greatest one we've ever seen.
"growlertown" is draft beer central. they have 60 different beers on tap, including an incredible amount of which we had never heard. that's impressive. they have a great local selection from around alabama, as well as many other delicious & interesting {good interesting} choices.
for $1-$2, you can taste any of the beers you'd like. on our first trip {yes, we went twice this weekend}, we sampled the harpoon 100 barrel series directors cut, old black bear amber lager out of hunstville, alabama, & stillwater existent dark saison. all were quite good.
once you find something you love, you can buy a growler of the delicious brew to take home! how cute are these growlers with vulcan drinking a beer?! on friday night, we took home the harpoon & for saturday evening, we had avery brewing company's salvation belgian golden ale. so good.
in addition to the awesome draft beers, hop city has an incredible selection of canned & bottled beers. seriously, an impressive amount of beer. we are pretty darn excited to further our palate!
{i really really want to try one of these harvest ales.
$11 or $12 for 9 oz?
that must be some good beer.}
{genius!}
the wine selection was quite good too. we found the bottle of sparkling red wine we loved at my birthday dinner at the spence in atlanta! score!
