Craft Beer Store, 1412 Hops & Vine, Coming to Hill East

1412 Pennsylvania Ave, SE

Thanks to a reader for sending word:

“This new (maybe 2 weeks old) sign for ‘Craft Beer’ has me intrigued, though I may be getting ahead of myself as I can’t find any information on what this might be. New signage appeared at 1412 Pennsylvania SE, the old location of Indigo Frenzy which closed a few months ago, but I see no permits in the windows & cant find anything online. Any ideas? In a peek through the window there do seem to be stacks of boxes of 750mL bottles.”

Anyone know if it’s a bar or store? I’m getting some google hits for a sports bar called Shooter’s but can’t see any details. 1412 Pennsylvania Ave, SE is located right near the Potomac Ave metro stop a few storefronts down from Trusty’s and Wisdom.

“Local wine and craft beer store, with a selection that will make your head spin. We’re glass half empty kind of people, come see why…

Here at 1412 Hops & Vine, we think a full glass is overrated. A full glass means you haven’t tasted anything yet, it means you’re still missing out on the good stuff. At 1412 Pennsylvania Avenue, we believe in grabbing life by the growler handle and chugging deeply. Don’t know what a growler is? Don’t worry, we’ll teach you, that’s what we’re here for. Well, that and to quench your thirst. 1412 Hops & Vine has over 250 unique beers and wines. That’s something for everyone, from the newb just wetting their whistle, to the guy or gal that’s brewing at home. No matter where you fall in that spectrum, you’ve come to the right place.

So go ahead and drink up. After all, we’re “glass half empty” kind of people.”
