You might soon be able to get Franklins beer in a bottle.
A bill passed by the Maryland legislature which awaits Gov. Martin O’Malley’s signature would allow microbreweries such as the Hyattsville institution to bottle and sell their own beer, according to the Capital News Service:
Mike Franklin, owner of Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store in Hyattsville, also said he sees it as a beneficial marketing tool.
“Every time a bottle of our beer goes out the door with somebody … not only is a sale that we make a little bit of money on, but it’s also advertising,” Franklins said. “We win in both ways.”
Although Franklin continued to say the beer sold in the restaurant will be more profitable for them than the beer that leaves, he added, “in terms of promotional value, it’s a tremendous help.”
In the meantime, you can buy a growler — a glass jug, basically — of Franklins beer to take home with you.
