Opening in October of 2015, The Casual Pint owned by Ken Franse is a locally owned one stop shop for your next brew. It is a unique combination of tap room and package store that will delight any beer lover. It’s located just off Hillsboro Rd behind the Zaxby’s and next to La Hacienda Mexican restaurant (1110 Hillsboro Road, Franklin).
But if you have hesitated to stop by, we have all of the answers to your most asked questions. Ken Franse spilled it with everything you need to know, don’t worry no beer or cider was spilled during this interview. And for those who don’t drink beer, keep reading there is something for you too.
Does The Casual Pint serve food?
No, BUT we do allow, and even encourage, people to bring in anything they want. Grab something, have it delivered, or bring it from home. From time to time, we will have food catered in or have a food truck partnered with an event.
How does The Casual Pint operate?
We are a market, meaning you can come buy your specialty craft beer and leave (6packs, mix-n-match your own 6 pack, or fill a growler) BUT some people don’t know….we are also a bar! You can sit and enjoy a pint or two anytime we are open. If something on the draft wall doesn’t sound good, then any one of our 300 or so different selections in the reach-in cooler can be bought as a single and drank in house
What types of events do you offer?
We LOVE events. We have different breweries in all the time for specials and free stuff to give away. Many times we pair those with another big event for us….our trivia nights! Every Thursday @ 7pm (with some exceptions like holidays, etc.) We have had a 4 course chef prepared dinner paired with 4 different beers. Probably the most popular event we do is every two weeks we have our Casual Pint Writer’s Night. We invite in 4 different singer/songwriters to play in a modified “round”. This week we have it Saturday night starting at 7pm, and the next Sat. night, March 26th. Friday, March 25th we have the band Amber’s Drive @ The Casual Pint as well. We really try to do some cool events. Many more to come over the summer. Maybe a shrimp boil, or some things of that nature as well.
What about my friends who don’t drink beer?
We usually have a cider on draft. If we don’t, we have plenty in the cold case you can buy to drink. We also carry a few non alcoholic beverages like rootbeer, cream soda, orange soda, etc, for kids and adults alike. We DO allow wine to be brought in as well.
Some things we really love about The Casual Pint:
Happy Hour (4p-7p Mon-Fri) where all pints are $1 off–Tuesday is All-Day Happy Hour! It is also a GREAT place for free WiFi if you’re sick of Starbucks.
Something really unique about The Casual Pint is they’ve started a networking group for local business owners every Tuesday morning at 9:30am.
Check them out Monday-Thursday 11 am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-12am and Sunday 1pm-8pm. Follow The Casual Pint on Facebook for the latest events and new offerings.
