Eastern District

Husband-and-wife owners Beth Lewand and Chris Gray preside over this artisanal beer, cheese and specialty food shop. Shoppers can select a quaff from a rotating selection of 100 bottled brews, or fill their growlers from six taps pouring suds like Founders Double Trouble and Barrier Rembrandt Porter. Sandwiches—such as prosciutto with ricotta and kalamata olives, and roasted turkey with maple-smoked Gouda and bacon marmalade—are available to go; while you wait, take some time to peruse the shelves stocked with goodies from local heroes like P&H Soda and Anarchy in a Jar jams—both outfits make their products in the store's kitchen.
