Born of a desire to feature draught beer from within a 100-mile radius of Seattle, The Growl Store is slated to open Saturday on E Madison just up the street from 12th Ave.
You won’t be able to order pints of beer at the Growl Store, though Klabunde is planning to offer five-beer tasting flights. Everything else is designed for filing up and moving on with a cold growler or two.
“I’m not trying to compete with bars. There’s a lot of beer that’s not in a can or bottle,” owner Loren Klabunde told CHS earlier this year about the crowd-funded tasting room and fill station that offers 44 to-go only taps of the best in Seattle-area brews.
Just around the corner from the Elysian, The Growl Store debuts in a busy week for beer around Capitol Hill. Saturday, the new 16,000 square foot Optimism Brewing celebrates its grand opening at Broadway and Union. Meanwhile, Redhook began the week by announcing it will open a new brewpub and small batch brewery on E Pike late next year.
The Growl Store is located at 1222 E Madison. Learn more at thegrowlstore.com.
