Tired hands growlers

All I know is I used to pay $7.50 for a 32oz growler of Hop Hands to take to Eagles tailgates all the time. Less excited to do so at $10.50 when I can buy a great beer and double the volume for a similar price (i.e. 4 - 16oz cans).

 

I paid around $23 , including tax for a 32 oz of the Milkshake IPA a few months ago. I thought the beer was fantastic, and I bought it anyways, but almost 75 cents an oz is expensive for any beer in my book, and borderline outrageous for an IPA. I could be wrong, but I've been to TH 10 times or so, and remember the "expensive fills" were about the same price for a 64 oz the first couple times I visited the cafe.

I get it. They make relatively small batches of beer with premium ingredients, that are more expensive to make than your typical IPAs. Their beer is among they best anywhere, but I still think $23 for 32 ounces is nuts for anything that isn't barrel-aged.

 

Every 32 oz growler fill I've gotten (probably 6 or 7 different beers over the last 6 weeks) has been $10 or $10.50. I'm not saying these $20 growler fills don't exist, but yall are making it sound like that's the norm, and in my experience, it isn't.

 

I didn't notice this until my most recent visit in April. Milkshake (single IPA) and ROAN (a DIPA) were the only two beers I was interested in getting a fill of, and both 20 bucks not including tax. Maybe not the norm, but I assure you they exist.

 

Has anyone noticed a difference between the fills at the Fermentaria vs the Brew Cafe? I didn't realize there were problems with growlers going flat until my friend from Philly told me about it. Of the two growlers I brought back, the one I had filled at the Fermentaria was still good, the Brew Cafe was flat.

 

Man I don't know never a bad growler amongst these. Flat nor exploded

 

Lambos and Mansions smelled like straight rotting cheese to me, I was really surprised.

 

Odd, I just had it at Pizza Boy Monday and it looked, smelled and tasted great.

 

Agreed. Only Void aged in Coffee and Cherries was $20 for 32 oz growler, which didn't include the price of the glass or taxes. Still, it was a great coffee stout.

 

Lambos and Mansions was the first TH beer that I disliked. Had to work through my 4oz taster.
