Growlers, 1005 Waugh, found a buyer, and it's Jon Denman of the Drink of Ages radio show, which covers mostly beer and music (and sometimes tacos). The to-go beer shop is going to be renamed Drink of Ages and transformed into more of a bar than the beer shop it is currently. It will still offer growlers to go, and Denman hopes to feature some more unusual draft beers, including sours. The renovations will be taking place around March.
