    I imagine it would be awesome. The samples at the brewery are beer nirvana.

    I think the only place that even has it on tap is Prohibition Pig. I could be wrong about that though

    Yup. Here is why the brew pub never had growler fills:

    "We do not sell any of our beer to go for the simple reason that I do not feel that a growler does justice to what we offer here. I fill growlers for myself with the utmost care, take them home and drink them 30 minutes later, and I can definitely taste a difference. The idea of a tourist getting a growler of double IPA, putting it in his trunk for a few days, putting it in his fridge for a few weeks, getting all his buddies together to drink it, and then thinking its not that good. That would kill me."

    The first growler only beer has already been brewed and I can't wait! Only had the pleasure of trying one other Alchemist beer and it was amazing.

    I think it's been established that Heady Topper is not available in growlers. (Locking this one down.)
