he Glass Jug Beer Lab is bringing Oktoberfest to the heart of the Bull City with a community-wide celebration at Durham Central Park on Saturday, September 21st.

This fun, inclusive, and family-friendly event is free and open to everyone. Consider bringing a lawn chair or picnic blanket to enjoy your Festbier and pretzels in the park, as limited seating will be available.

September 2024 marks 10 years since our we opened our doors in September 2014. 10 years have taken us from a small craft beer bottle shop to a multi-location brewery taproom, beer garden, and one of the largest retail beverage shops in the triangle. It’s been a crazy ride, and we have a lot of events planned throughout the week to celebrate this momentous occasion.

The Glass Jug & Bull City Running Co. are hosting Durham’s first official beer mile on Saturday, April 23, 2022. Register to compete in this 4-beer, 4-lap race, or simply join us to cheer on the runners while enjoying live music, food trucks, and craft beer in Durham Central Park all afternoon!

It’s been SEVEN YEARS! So, we’re going to party, Oktoberfest style, in the beer garden on September 18th! Live music, stein hoisting, bounce house, limited-edition commemorative mugs, and all the delicious beer.

Every good beer store offers free tastings every so often, but not every beer store has a knitting and crafts club or women-only beer education and social events. It is things like this that make The Glass Jug different. We're really proud of our fun and unique events, and we hope to continue expanding our selection of events throughout the year. Below is a listing of our events that happen on a recurring basis every month. We hope you'll join us for one (or more) of them, next time you are able.
