As a beer lab, our mission is to use the science of beer to build community, educate beer drinkers, and create the highest-quality beer possible. Beyond bringing people into our taprooms for a delicious beverage, we are deeply involved in our local Durham/RTP community, assisting and contributing to both STEM and community-minded projects and organizations. The core values of our company are to build community, to create happiness, & to be customer focused in all that we do.

September 2024 marks 10 years since our we opened our doors in September 2014. 10 years have taken us from a small craft beer bottle shop to a multi-location brewery taproom, beer garden, and one of the largest retail beverage shops in the triangle. Itβs been a crazy ride, and we have a lot of events planned throughout the week to celebrate this momentous occasion.
As The Glass Jug quickly approaches 10 full years since opening its doors in Durham, owners Chris & Katy Creech are reinvesting in the physical space, as well as their commitment to the South Durham / RTP community by adding a dedicated family-friendly area, a new stage for performances in the beer garden, a fresh mural behind the bar, a new illuminated sign on the building, and fire pits int he beer garden this fall.
As the weather starts to cool down this fall, we are excited to debut another upgrade weβve mad to our beer garden at our RTP/South Durham location this year - fire pits!
We're getting rid of the propane heaters and bringing in custom branded SoloStove fire pits and tabletop fire pits to keep you warm this fall and winter.
