MUG ‘N STEIN will host the first of a two-part grand opening at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 23. The new shop, located at 530 West Main, sells accessories for whatever is brewing – whether it’s tea, coffee or beer. “We sell items that go with any occasion where you serve tea, coffee, beer, and even root beer,” said Marilyn Jody, who is owner along with Joanne Cleary, Barbara Manke and Betsy Swift. “We have the perfect glass or cup for any event, from casual to elegant.” Mug ‘N Stein also features pub games and gift baskets and is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. “Come in and see what else we offer,” said Jody, who receives new shipments almost daily.
HEINZELMANNCHEN BREWERY will have its grand opening Wednesday, June 23, from 6:30-7:30 p.m., following Mug ‘N Stein’s ribbon cutting. The brewery is located below Mug ‘N Stein and is accessed from Mill Street. Brewmeister Dieter Kuhn, who was born and raised in Heidelsheim near the Black Forest of Germany, named his brewery after the gnome-like creatures found there. “They are rarely seen,” said Kuhn, “however, they are always helpful to creatures and people alike. According to German folklore, the Heinzelmannchen visit proprietors during the night to assist with chores so the proprietor has more time to give back to the community.” Kuhn brews natural hearty ales, made with grains, hops and no preservatives. He and his wife, Sheryl Rudd, also offer root beer by the glass or growler. Wondering how to pronounce the name of the business? Kuhn offers these clues, “The first part is ‘Hein-zel’ and the final two syllables rhyme with ‘tension’ and sound like ‘mention.’ After a hard day of tension, try a Heinzelmannchen,” he said.
