Celebrating 10 Years at The Glass Jug

Celebrating 10 Years at The Glass Jug

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. It’s been a crazy ride, and we have a lot of events planned throughout the week to celebrate this momentous occasion.

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.
