    Reaper in the Rye, the new black rye IPA is also available for growler fills. $10/32 oz.

    They're in the process of revamping their chalkboard so now they show which beers are eligible for growler fills and also the price. Pretty handy!

    So is OJ IPA actually available for growler fills? Their pics seem to say otherwise...

    It is.

    Edit: board pic was taken before board was totally finished.

    How much is an OJ IPA with the growler? I had someone from work grab one for me and he told me it was $10, but that seems a little low. Do I owe him more money?

    Looks like 515 has 3 new beers coming out before long:
    • Blasé - Single hoped Pale Ale brewed with Simcoe (part of the Meh Series)
    • Maiden Iowa - English IPA
    • "To Be Named..." - Imperial Stout (yet to be named of course)
    Been waiting a long time for Blasé, so really can't wait to try that one.

    Will be stopping in the taproom tomorrow - really looking forward to it! Will be grabbing some growlers for Thanksgiving. OJ is a must, any other suggestions?

    Their new Puppy Jake Porter is supposed to be killer, though I personally haven't gotten the chance to try it yet. I hear it's all peanut butter up in your face. If they decide to tap their Wired Heifer tomorrow....jump on that one. Great coffee milk stout!

    Peanut Butter Porter you say? That's a definite yes. Thanks!

    I went to the release of Puppy Jake. It was pretty crazy; nearly butts to nuts in there. Puppy Jake is like a dark chocolate peanut butter cup. It was the first (and only) peanut butter porter I've had, but it was pretty darn good.

    I am interested in how it compares to Dangerous Man Peanut Butter Porter. I haven't had too many peanut butter porters, but Dangerous Man's has to be my favorite that I have had so far.

    @iRun2Beer You may have to report back on how it compares to DM PBP.

    @BottleCaps80 I will have to send you some DM PBP so you can compare as well.

    It's solid but definitely not as good as dangerous mans

    I personally disagree. I've never been a fan of Dangerous Man's PB Porter. I thought the mouthfeel on 515s was better and had a more full PB flavor

    We'll have to do a side by side because truthfully from memory I thought exactly opposite.
