There’s not much to see on the website yet, but Home Brews and Gardens is a new home brew supply shop opening on Thorn between Herman and 32nd in North Park. Their grand opening is Sunday, December 6 from noon to 6, with live music and food provided by Sea Rocket Bistro.

Ladies, it's beer time →

While there are apparently still some numbskulls out there who think women only drink white wine and cocktails (including, we hear, a few check-out clerks at a certain beverage store in La Jolla), there’s quite a few people who get that craft beer is revered by both sexes. Stone Brewing Co. ranks right up there in the latter category, so if you’re a craft-beer loving lady, check out their second women-only Beer-U next Monday. (If you’re not a lady, click through anyway to see Stone’s beer-loving twist on classic Rosie the Riveter.)
