The Glass Jug Adds Draft Cocktails to Downtown Taproom

In its continuing effort to serve as a welcoming and casual place for all people, The Glass Jug has continually pushed to expand its offerings across a wide array of craft beverages.

From its line of “Fresh” hard seltzers, to frozen boozy slushies, non-alcoholic beer and beverages, mulled wine and spiced apple cider, to the introduction of a full line of Harper’s Real Ginger Beer in 2022, The Glass Jug Beer Lab has morphed beyond just a beer-focused brewery and into a modern beverage company.

And, for the first time, the Downtown Durham taproom will be debuting cocktails on draft on Friday, December 1, 2023.

The draft cocktails all feature NC-made spirits, paired with Harper’s Real Ginger Beer, along with other house-made and organic mixers to create unique and intriguing cocktails that are a natural extension of The Glass Jug brand.

The menu will consist of a rotating selection of four seasonal cocktails. While you may always find a modern riff on a Mule, the goal of the program is to push beyond that, finding ways to incorporate Harper’s Real Ginger Beer in unique and interesting ways by crafting custom cocktails that you won’t find on the menu at other area establishments.

Harper’s Real Ginger Beer is always available to take home in 16-ounce cans so guests can create their own ginger beer cocktails at home. Both Glass Jug taprooms also feature a rotating seasonal version of Harper’s that features various fruits and herbs to accentuate the base ginger beer.
