    Website shows their taplist was last updated 2 days ago, so should be what you see here on tap tonight http://www.515brewing.com/beer.html

    They fill growlers of everything. My suggestions if you've never been:
    OJ IPA
    Passé
    Blasé
    Stout of the Closet
    Wired Heifer

    Enjoy!

    Yeah we generally fill pretty much anything unless it's down to the last keg or two and we're trying to keep it on a bit longer.

    That OJ IPA is so good. I assume it's unfiltered. I wish more Brewers would follow that recipie

    There aren't many small craft breweries filtering these days. I'm not even sure who in Iowa does have a filter. A few are running centrifuges which is a little nicer to the beer than filtering with the usual filtering setups.

    There is much disdain amongst some in the industry about "murky" beer, and it's probably not the best thing in the world for shelf stability, but you guys go through it so fast that it hasn't been an issue.

    Glad you enjoy though!

    Hope this one has more body than the last. Loved the flavors just didn’t have the thicker, marshmallowy body/mouthfeel I covet with BA imperial stouts. 515 always tweaking and improving and learning from what they do so very eager to see how this varies from their last BA stout release.

    If any of you are trying to tick all the styles they put a gruit on that is definitely worth trying.

    Recently moved to DSM, so I'm not familiar with 515 releases. Is their anniversary stout release gonna be something where I'll have to line up ahead of time or will I be able to walk in anytime that evening and grab a couple bottles?

    last time it was released there was a line out the door and a party, free shirts for their anniversary and they tapped a new single hop beer for the occasion. I am not sure how the batch size varies for this one versus last. Thursday 5:15 PM release time vs. Saturday morning may make it easier to get. This will only be the second bottle release of anything 515's made so a lot of us with regional pride are excited to scoop it up and share with friends.
