Benchmark Brewing (and their growlers)

Awesome. That's how it's done.

 

Nice. Hope the beer is as good as the growler policy.

 

Yet another La Jolla Brew House refugee, with a lot of experience at Alesmith before that. I suspect that in the least, his beers won't suck.

 

No 32oz? Booo. Half cool, I guess.

 

I like the part it's insulated up to 24 hrs. I prefer the flip top like Societe has on their SS growler. But not sure if their growlers are insulated. How much is the Benchmark growlers? $25? I will be in Kearny Mesa on a weekend trip in a couple of weeks. I will put Benchmark down for one of my brewery's to visit on this trip.

I have a 34oz SS water bottle I use for bringing my water or whatever to work with me. I wonder when ABC gets their sh!te straight on the new growler policy I'd be able to use that to fill up with beer at any brewery?

 

Societe's growlers are double-walled, I believe. We did a test one time that made me think they were. Although I thought of an easier one just now. Fill it with water then put it into a bucket of water, if it floats (or at least doesn't sink like a rock) it's double-walled, if not it's not.

I think these are going to be more expensive than that, if you follow the link on the site they retail for $50, which is kind of steep.

 

Yes. I was just on their facebook page and saw the price of the growler. Too much $$ for the growler IMO. But if you were to buy one growler to fill your beers I guess that would be a nice one. Insulated. And they are pushing for a May opening. So I'll have to check them out on a later trip.

 

They are not, should have done a double blind test [sober] haha.

This was a while ago, we probably came to the right conclusion and I just forgot it.
