My friends growler shop is on its third year and it's business is booming. The owners are two super awesome guys who had a dream and went with it. They are now serving the Grant Park and surrounding area. They pour from 30+ taps constantly and always feature local breweries in the Greater Atlanta Area. On special occasions they have special casks with flavors that range from Girl Scout Cookies to Spicy Peppers. They do a really great job with social media and keeping everything updated. I always get an alert every time a new cask comes in, or any time they have a 'Tap Takeover' where a local brewery comes in an occupies multiple taps.
The atmosphere at MFGS is similar to that of a cafe where everyone knows each other. The customer service is impeccable and the guys really get to know everyone who comes in. Every time I go in I am greeted by name, and so are the five other people in the shop. I know the name says it's 'my friends' shop, it really does feel like I'm friends with these guys.
A great thing about these young entrepreneurs is that they always welcome feedback, both positive and negative. If you have an idea about something, they have probably already tried it, or are willing to give it a try. They're really laid back and try not to take life too seriously.
My favorite thing about this growler shop, local brews aside, is their Wine Wednesday special. Every Wednesday wine goes on sale when bought in small quantities of 3-6 bottles ranging from 5%-10% off depending on how much you're getting. They have an amazing Malbec that I am a huge advocate for, Uno. It's a Malbec from Argentina that goes so well with chocolate it's ridiculous.
I think that this growler shop offers a lot to the public that it serves. Everything is very reasonably priced and there are options for every budget. There are small growlers if you're drinking for one, or if you don't want to spend more than $20. There are large growlers for the beer aficionados, six packs for those who know what they want, and wine for the non beer drinkers who just enjoy shopping locally.
