    They wouldn't fill my longneck Tired Hands growler when I was there one time, but I have heard others say they filled the same growlers for them. If its not a longneck you'll be fine.

    Yea, they filled my TH longneck a couple months ago. They have stopped though. Don't understand it since they have the proper equipment to fill longneck growlers.

    Credit where credit is due: Ricky Rose was easily my highest rated 3 Starts beer out of 59 I've rated from them.

    if you can fit a quarter in the mouth of the growler, they will fill it. they said something about too much spillage when they fill narrow-mouth growlers.

    They will fill those. Do yourself a favor and stop by Ocelot while you are out that way. Aslin and Ocelot are the best metro area breweries by far in my opinion. Aslin for Juice bombs and Ocelot for almost everything they brew.

    Can I bring other breweries growlers?
    Yes, we fill any 64oz vessels. Be sure to clean them prior to bringing them to the brewery for a fill.

    Do you fill long neck 32oz./750ml growlers?
    No, we no longer fill small mouth growlers. This includes Palla or “genie bottle” style growlers and 1L. flip top homebrew bottles. With our draft system we just create too much waste. If you are unsure if your growler is wide mouth, test it by dropping a quarter into the opening, if it fits we will fill it.

    I was there the day they discovered they couldn't fill the skinny long neck growlers. Beer was literally spraying on the walls.

    So that is what their facebook event page says, but if you look on Untappd they must have tapped it yesterday.

    Anyone know what the growler prices are like for the Grimm IPA's? Trying to get my Tesseract on. I think I paid 26 last time.

    I feel like Beltway purposely hides the pricing for their facebook photos. Luckily someone posted the board on untappd. Tesseract is $22 for a 32oz and $40 for a 64oz

    Yeah, not dropping $40 for a growler of tesseract. Aslin ipas > tesseract.

    What are the highlights at ocelot today? Next stop.
