- CONGRATULATIONS TO DOUG JOHN and PINTS O' PLENTY -

The Chamber was pleased to conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony for Doug John and Pints O' Plenty on Friday, July 15th, as we helped celebrate this new location at 1219 Burnbridge Road.  Doug moved his thriving business into larger quarters in the former Blue Ridge Montessori building.  Friday evening at 5 PM can be a "tricky" schedule, but we found there was no shortage of attendees (or customers, for that matter!)  We were not even sure Doug would be able to give up his post behind the cash register long enough to cut the ribbon.  Doug is pleased with his recent expansion.  With hundreds of beer and wine labels in stock, the store probably houses your choice beverage.  

In addition to teaching his customers to make their own beer and wine for years now, Doug has also  been crafting his own beer recipe which he recent emailed to "Heavy Seas Beer".  A winner, it has now been released in 19 states under the name "Bastard Child".

If you're interested in learning how to make your own beer or wine, stop in the store and let Doug teach you not only how to make your own beverages,but how you can save a lot of money by making you own for a cost of $2/3 a bottle.  You can also pick up party supplies your guests will enjoy as much as we did at the Open House. In addition to the beverages, Pints O' Plenty offers all of the ingredients for making the dips and cheese balls in many different taste variations, including the recipes.  When you plan your next party, stop by and let Pints O' Plenty help you eliminate all the work and worry.
