    just to give some insight, unless you are buying in bulk (i.e. 15-20 cases) growlers typically cost anywhere from $4.50 to $6.00 depending on the mfg'er once you account for shipping. Which is an expense a lot of breweries/filling stations do not account for. One way to help this issue is to double the price of the growler in hopes that you will bring them back. Now, the Stone Tap (thank you Ed) will be filling stainless steel growlers (may already be) and those generally have a cost of $20 ish (give or take per the volume ordered).

    I love my Brauler I got from Canal Park Brewing Co, pricey ($50) but the koozy with shoulder strap it has makes for great hauling around and wonderful for homebrew. I even found a some other places that said they'd fill it up for me as well which is sweet.

    I guess I need to get me to "Nova" with an empty growler and get me some Pseudo Sue.
    How many other selections do they have there?

    They post their growler list on twitter once or twice a week. The list as of this evening is here. PseudoSue, Golden Nugget, and Zeelander (which I'm drinking right now). Also some other stuff, including a couple 3 Floyds brews. Good stuff!

    Also, Nova has some new big swing-top growlers. They look cool, but at $20 each, I'm happy I brought my own. Not sure if they're still selling the standard ones as well.
