Big Hops Growler Station
Check out Big Hops Gr owler Station at 8313 Broadway — it’s the place to fill your growler with amazing craft beers. What’s a growler, you ask? You choose a 32- or 64-ounce growler (container), then make your selection from 26 specialty craft beers. OK, if you can’t decide, then sample, yes, sample many and make a decision, then allow the tap master to fill your growler, pay, and off you go to a party, your home or wherever you want to enjoy your beer. Still can’t decide? There is a rotating tap wall — one keg pops, a different beer takes its place. Numerous styles of beer for all you beer-lovers keep it interesting.
Make sure you download and take advantage of the Growler Refill Club mobile app because once you imbibe, you will return for more. Sort of like Cheers. Fun, friendly, and famous already! Rather hang out? Then grab a fresh brew, kick back and meet the team. I spoke with Big Hops Steve and Big Hops Rob, who are well-informed and quick to answer all my questions, and boy, do they know BEER! And root beer. And there’s wine and cider too. Check them out on Facebook to see what’s on tap and when special events are slated.
What an awesome concept. Word’s gotten out. And if you crave beer and haven’t found the place, then find it and check out this newest addition to the local beer scene. And for those of you on the other side of town, their second location at 11224 Huebner Road, Suite 204, opened during the holidays. Check the website at http://www.bighops.com/ for all the frosty details and a live tap list. They are open every day for your drinking pleasure; give them a call at (210) 320-1995 for times and tastings. What are you waiting for? Fill me up!

On a cold day head over for chili, or my favorite — frito chili pie with all the fixins’ and wash it d own with a mug of hot chocolate. It can’t get much better than that on a frosty San Antonio day. And don’t leave without ordering Granny’s homemade cookies.
