Pour House vs. Natty Greene's
The owners of Chumley's, the Speakeasy Tavern and Blur just opened a brew pub downtown at 360 Federal Place.
The Pour House will offer $2 draughts of Poor Man's Pilsner when its approved to sell its own beer, planned for July. Prices for its three other home brews have not been set yet, said co-owner Mark Zerfoss. For now it offers a 12-beer selection that includes Stella Artois, Guinness, Newcastle and a handful of domestics.
Poor Man's beats Natty Greene's prices by a buck. We'll see where the other brews fall.
Can downtown handle two brew pubs?
Zerfoss says he's looking for a different sort of crowd. "Natty's goes after a yuppy crowd that want to be seen."
The gantlet is thrown.
Note: The Pour House has no relation to the music venue in Raleigh The Pour House.
