“Dear PoPville,
Last night I noticed a sign on the door of a former flower shop at 7050 Carroll Ave. in Takoma Park–liquor licence pending for “Great Shoals,” which looks to be a local winery with a tasting room in far-north Silver Spring. Very exciting if Takoma Park is getting a tasting room!”

We will also have art from local artists and food trucks on site to round out the evening. Tickets are going to be extremely limited and there are various ticket options to allow you to customize your experience. $15 General Admission gets you in the door and your first beer. You can pre-purchase 5 additional beer tickets to help you skip the beer line and spend more time with beers and less time waiting. Additionally, there is a VIP option that gets you in the door an hour early, a custom glass and a 4-pack of each of the collab releases to pick up at the end of the event (4 4-packs in total). The VIP experience is extremely limited and will sell out quickly, so don’t miss this awesome opportunity.”
