Yes, it’s true. Bobby Bush finally bit the bullet and entered the Wonderful World of Beer as new owner of a 6+ year old retail beer and wine shop. Hops & Grapes, formerly known as Gail’s Hops & Grapes, is located on the north side of Hickory, NC off Hwy 127N in the North Pointe Shopping Center (right beside Planet Fitness).
Please drop by when you have a chance. Bobby needs your business and your comments on how to make Hickory’s best beer store even better. Already in planning stages is 1) an expanded Carolinas’ Beer section featuring growlers, mini-kegs and bottles from North and South Carolina craft breweries; 2) craft beer kegs-to go and special order kegs; 3) beer school; 4) a rare beer club; and 5) your suggestion here. See, he does need your help.
Hops & Grapes has on- and off-premise licenses for beer and wine, so you can drink while you shop.
If you’re in the neighborhood on Thursday, drop by for a free taste or two on Bobby and Hickory distributor, Best of Beers. You’ll find a variety of newly released winter seasonals and cellared beers to select from.
