Whether you see the world as ‘glass half full’ or ‘glass half empty’, a growler filled to the top can only be optimistic. Tap beer comes with a few benefits- it’s more cost effective, and reusing your bottle means it’s better for the environment. Plus you get the chance to take home beers that are keg-only releases or one-off seasonals. Beer stored in kegs lasts longer and stays fresher than in bottle, so many aficionados prefer tap beers for that reason alone. You can either purchase your bottle and get it filled in-store or bring your own 1, 2 or 2.5 litre bottles and let our knowledgeable staff make it that much heavier!
