    Anyone been to Grape and Grain in Homewood (Dixie and Ridge)?

    Stopped in there on Saturday. It's a combination homebrew/wine/craft beer store with a bar. They had about five or six beers on tap (I remember Revolution wit, Firestone Wooky Jack, Atomium, Bell's Two-Hearted). Talked with the owner briefly and he said you can also buy one of the available singles (12 oz or bomber) out of the cooler and drink that instead.

    Selection was pretty extensive as a store - as good as my usual go-to place Kenwood Liquors - though prices were at least a couple of bucks more than I typically pay.

    I like the concept of the place, and even though the prices are a bit higher I like the ability to go beer shopping and have a pint or two.

    My kid lives in Homewood, so I noticed it when I was picking her up a couple weeks ago. Haven't stopped in but noticed the sign on the window saying they had Revolution on draft, which I thought was pretty cool. I'll have to check it out at some point. Probably won't have much that I can't get by me, but if I'm in a pinch. How is the selection to Family Liquors on Dixie?

    Haven't been there, so I can't compare.

    Its just a few blocks south on 183rd. Small mom and pop shop, but they always had a decent selection. It was my go-to spot when I lived there.
