    Do you fill other people’s growlers?
    We do, however, we will have to sticker the label with a Two Roads sticker to make sure people know what’s inside!

    So they slap a big sticker over whatever label is already on your growler or on your blank one.

    This does make sense, actually. Whenever I buy growlers, I strap them down to the roof of my car for the the drive home, or hold them out of the window as I drive, so everyone I pass knows I bought beer. If I had a NEBCO growler that was filled with some 2 Roads 2 week aged diarrhea, how would people know?!

    Where do you store your growlers that growler theft becomes a problem you face?

    I know Two Roads is taking some heat here, but I got to try their Pils and their IPA. Their Pils was really good and the IPA was decent. I was pleasantly surprised and I will try their other offerings. Much better than that awful Foolproof that RI has. In all welcome to RI Two Roads even with your vodoo barrel aging techniques.

    As someone who has talked a bunch of shit about 2 Roads, I will say 2 things...I had double dry hopped mosaic Road 2 Ruin on cask the other night, and it was very good. Easily the best I've had from them. I also had Via Cordis, and it was mediocre as fuck.

    I tried Via Cordis last night, and thought it was quite good - balanced, flavorful, and predominantly yeasty. Fruit, bubblegum, and spice, in that order. Tasty stuff.

    A person on Untappd is at their Octoberfest event today. Checked into a beer and said it was $15 for a stein and $6 for a pour.

    I believe it's $15 to get in which includes the glass that you get to keep and then you pay for pours/food from food trucks

    So does that mean they charged a cover to get into their brewery? Haha.

    Pretty much. You got to keep the stein, but it wasn't a large/1L one, I don't believe. They brewed 2 beers for it I think. Seemed like a ripoff. Heard it was pretty packed though.

    Man, people really do love Two Roads. Their business plan is working.

    Did anyone else go to the Two Roads dinner at Cask Republic last night? The beer wasn't bad, I thought the abbey single was pretty good as well as the imperial stout. They had some Henry's Farm that was aged in barrels and honestly the original beer was better than the aged version. The worst beer of the night, by far, was some rosemary's baby which they basically came right out and said was infected (but were serving anyways, for some reason). It smelled like fucking puke and was thin and gross, I was pretty disappointed with that.
