We at WhichCraft are so pleased to announce the grand opening of our new Mueller location, WhichCraft Tap Room & Bottle Shop. As the name suggests, the new shop will feature thirty rotating draft lines in addition to its extensive selection of packaged craft beer. We have created an extensive coffee program for those times when it’s too early for beer (yeah right!). Our coffee bar will offer a variety of espresso drinks, pour over coffee and cold brew. Full details on this new location, including our address and hours of operation, can be found on our Blog. We’ll see you there!
