Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida, the folks behind Memphis Taproom, Resurrection Ale House and Local 44, are reportedly working out the particulars on a lease for their next project, Meal Ticket’s Adam Erace reports. Though details are few, the new venture, which comes on the heels of Memphis Taproom’s beer garden opening, will take up residence next to Local 44 in West Philly. The plan is create a bottle shop that’s entirely separate from, but shares the same ethos as their beer-forward businesses. It will reportedly offer as many as 400 different craft and imported beers for take-out. An opening date has not been announced. [Meal Ticket]
