If you're looking to drink without the crowd outside, I've noticed business starts to picks up around 6pm, give it or take an hour.

You're going to the brew pub? You gotta go with a rarer selection than that. World wide stout, 120 minute, cask 75 minute or one of their house exclusives. Their menu is online.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Man, that makes me sad. When I went to that brew pub a few years ago, they only had 60 min, 90 min, Indian Brown and Raison.... Not that those beers aren't good, but I was hoping for a variety. Guess they've upped their game since.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
depends on the place. if they ONLY fill their own growlers, then maybe, but most places fill whatever growler you bring in. for instance, I have a Rock Bottom growler (Mrs. c2i was a server there...). If I take that into get filled, I want my Rock Bottom growler back, I don't want a blank one or one from the place that I'm getting it filled.ulf wrote:Re: growler cleanliness - I was under the impression that they don't give you the same exact growler back.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Yes I am going to the brew pub and all locations have different menus. 90 Minute is my favorite beer on the planet and when I can drink it on tap it's a must. The Raison is probably my second favorite DFH beer.shmenguin wrote:You're going to the brew pub? You gotta go with a rarer selection than that.

120 minute is too rich for me....and expensive....
Not a fa of cask beers
The World Wide Stout is an option. I'll see what porters and stouts they have available at this location.

Hmm the only one I've done is North Country, I didn't realize places filled other growlers besides their own.count2infinity wrote:depends on the place. if they ONLY fill their own growlers, then maybe, but most places fill whatever growler you bring in. for instance, I have a Rock Bottom growler (Mrs. c2i was a server there...).

East End uses the same growler and will only fill an East End growler or a growler from Big Pour.the wicked child wrote:I've always seen them reuse the growler you hand them.
