FRIDAY - Shmaltz-ee Talk....

"Drink more beer! Sample the He'Brew from Shmaltz Brewing. It's this Friday from 5-8pm. Be a dear and attend, will you? Are you eating enough? You look thin. Don't be a slob either. What will that cute girl from school think when she sees you? Don't roll your eyes at me! Put a hat on too, it's cold out..."

Turkey, Beer, Comfort Food - Choose 2

There is an expression that you can do anything quickly, cheaply, or correctly. The catch? You can only choose two.

Lucky you, there are three news bits below, and you can choose all three!

1 - Order Your Polyface Thanksgiving Turkeys

The deadline to order your Polyface turkey is November 1st. The price is $4.99/lb. Choose from two sizes: 10-15 lb, or 15-20 lb. A downpayment of 50% is required. Stop in, or call Brian to reserve: 540-255-6811.

2 - Hot Meals for Cold Weather

Take the night off from cooking! Enjoy homestyle comfort foods made with local ingredients. We're introducing a subscription pick-up starting Friday nights very soon. We're finalizing details. The to-go meals will be just one more way to relax Friday night...

3 - NOVA BrewFest

Join us - virtually - as we attend the Northern Virginia Brewfest this weekend (Saturday, October 23). We'll be representing Staunton and several of our fellow independent businesses. We'll be posting updates, photos, and video live during the event to Twitter. Search #novabrew to find us in real time or after the event.

And remember, we're expanding our selection of chilled craft beer here at George Bowers!

Not one, but two new businesses are the talk here at the grocery! You've probably already enjoyed a meal at Mockingbird. If not, do so soon! We're so excited Mockingbird will be bringing more live music to town. We admire such an ambitious project and know it will enjoy much success.

Looking for that something special for your house? Look no further than our new neighbor, Junk and Disorderly. Libby has sourced some fine and eclectic English antiques, furniture, and collectibles. It's lovely.
