Growler Stations

[I. Hustle]

Anyone ever been to one of these shindigs? One opened up not too far from me and I have been wanting to check it out. Do I have to bee a beer snob to go? The site says free samples.

That's my regular Saturday afternoon hang out! You don't have to be a beer snob, just show up and drink beer. Its a fun little place :toast

[I. Hustle]

Do you have to have a growler to hang out? Is it like a regular bar? Amazon has a growler in their daily deals today. How much do they usually run?

How is the root beer? That sounds cool for the kiddos.

[I. Hustle]

Lots of questions because it looks interesting.

[JudynTX]

So people get their beer to go? :lol

[mrsmaalox]

You don't need a growler you can just come in and drink. If you want beer to go, bring your own growler or buy one there. I've never tried the root beer or seen anyone order it, there aren't usually kids there.

$10-15 depending on logos or no logo usually, then anywhere from $8-15 a fill depending on the beer. Not a bad deal at all.

Yes it's very common in the craftbrew business.

[TeyshaBlue]

Dude...just go! Craft beer ftw!

Plus, I love home-brewed Root Beer.

I'll be honest, i thought this was a thread about places to go to drop the kids off at the pool

[Spur-Addict]

They're good marketing devices. At the end of the day, it's just another way to get tipsy. And we all know, getting tipsy is a great time.

Nah, I wasn't planning on taking the kids but thinking about bringing some root beer back for them. Cool, I might check it out this weekend if I am in town still.

Amazon has this 64oz one. I'm not sure if it will be this one but they are going to have a deal at about 4:00 with something similar.

Then afterward you walk a few yards north and have the greatest puffy tacos at Lee's El Taco Garage :)

LOL far from Connoisseur----I'm more like "Um give me a beer that is crisp and doesn't taste like poison. And no lingering perfumey aftertaste please" Those guys will fix ya up :)

I don't know much about growlers (the ones I have I didn't buy myself, and they all have logos) but that place sells a couple of different sizes and some of the plastic collapsible ones too.

[I. Hustle]

Don't be surprised to see drunk pics of me and Maalox in questionable poses.

I've only been there for breakfast. I have been wanting to go for lunch but haven't yet for some reason.

Like we don't already have these......

My bad.
I meant more of them.

[ohmwrecker]

Can you get wild, burly, unkempt vaginas there?

[leemajors]

Just stay away from clear and green glass growlers.

[mrsmaalox]

Can you get wild, burly, unkempt vaginas there?

Is that a "Growler"? :lmao


I've never seen one there :)

[I. Hustle]

Can you get wild, burly, unkempt vaginas there?

I'm pretty sure that you can anywhere alcohol is served. You'll probably have to stick around until close to closing though.

[TeyshaBlue]

I don't think Avante will show so, no.

Weird that the description seems very accurate.

i went to big hops. it was a little eh but they're new. i guess Craft & Growler up here in Dallas spoiled me. it's a way nicer place and they shoot some CO2 in your growler to preserve it a bit longer. there's a "science" to that. look it up.

[Blake]

:lol I wasn't thinking of your unfounded reputation for fart jokes.

Nah, I'll just take your word.

[AntiChrist]

I just took a growler. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want me bringing THAT into the beer joint.

Are you being serious? Why? I saw some really cool glass ones. Splain yo'self

Well, if you keep it out of the sunlight it's fine, but only brown glass blocks light harmful to beer. You've probably noticed most beers that tend to be skunky are in green/clear bottles.

Oh ok, I gotcha. That makes sense. The two that I liked look like this.

The screw cap ones are best IMO. The flip top ones don't always seal the best in my experience.

Cool. I'll keep that in mind. I'd like one that looks like those old XX jugs.
