    I wonder if it's the real Alpine Nelson? I kid, I kid.

    Alpine??? I moved this summer, but did Alpine sneak into Maryland or is this a misprint? Also, can you fill growlers at fests? I would love to take a growler of Nelson to Phish at Merriweather.

    I've never seen them selling growlers or filling them. Max's gets some unique distribution thanks to Shelton Bros I believe.

    Anywhere Green Flash is in distro there is now a chance to find some Alpine a few times a year.

    Probably most will be available for growler fills, 32 or 64 oz, you will need a Max's logo growler though.

    Any clue on the range of prices? I'm guessing kind of high.

    I'd guess $25-30 for a 64 oz growler. Not sure if they'll fill a growler of Nelson on Sunday though since it's part of Hopfest. In the unlikely event that it lasts until Monday, they might fill it then.

    Great time. DC Brau Solar Abyss was a highlight. Double Duckpin Gravity Firkin on the bar (w Amarillo, Orange & Raw Cinnamon) was a pleasant surprise. Omnipollo Fatamorgana was also real good. Looking forward to tomorrow! Oh yeah $32 (I think or something like that) for a growler (64) of Solar Abyss.!

    Omnipollo Fatamorgana is a sleeper DIPA killer. Out of the bottle it was easily one of the best beers I had in 2015. That tap list is pretty awesome.

    Thanks for posting! I'm headed down shortly and was hoping Oracle and Hopsolution would be on.

    Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Max's generally doesn't do growler fills at their fests since they usually have one sixtel of most of those beers. Wouldn't be surprised if you could get a growler fill of something more common like Oracle.

    They will fill growlers of most of the beers on this weekend. If your willing to pay the big.

    Alpine was also at Pinehurst Wine Shoppe this weekend. Not sure if they kicked their keg of Nelson or not.
