Yeah that's the worst!  If you give me beer you basically have my loyalty, smart move.

You never filled a growler?  It's 4 pints.  And, considering the abv of most micro IPAs that's a lotta buzz right there. 

The one we're printing for brings me cases and sixers from time to time (most can here since many beers are drank on the river), it's a real sweet thing to do for a printshop.

No. This is the first time I have seen one or heard the name growler. Do all micro brews have them?

I did a rush order favor for a local brewery right before Oktoberfest. Not only did they pay for the shirts, they brought an assortment of their brews and even some root beer. I think it was 8 cases. (Millstream Brewery)

i am trying to work my way into a local brewery, they are using an out of state company now, and I'm thinking "seriously, you are pushing yourself as a local brewer, act like a local buyer then too."

Growlers are awesome--fill, drink, rinse, repeat.   ;D
They seem to be more popular with micros and brewpubs than the big guys, although New Belgium still fills growlers.


Sweet for homebrewing too--perfect size for step-culturing a batch of yeast for five gallons.

Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it is a lot more fun making it yourself.  something along those lines.

Never heard of a growler either. But that could be because in our state they have regulations on how much beer can be served to you in one round, 4 pts is probably way past the limit.

they usually do them to go, its fairly new down here with the allowance of higher gravity beers.  Who wants a growler of Miller Lite?

When you dig grave will you make it shallow so that I can feel the rain?

Thanks for inviting me over.  I did get concert tickets once.
