    First it was black then it was platinum (i.e. silver) and now there's gold. Gold house glasses (LV inspired) go on sale today. No limit @ $10 per.

    Stopped by The Answer yesterday and grabbed a couple of crowlers including mother of berries. I cracked it tonight against a 6 week old refrigerated crowler. I gotta say the differences were small with the most glaring difference being the carbonation and the freshness. Very surprised how well it held up!

    any chance crowlers last until tomorrow AM? A friend is still by there around noon tomorrow and was hoping he could pick something up for me

    They will crowler most of their IPA's on demand any day. The joose crowlers are filled on T/Th/Sun, they will not fill them on Friday's (typically).

    What @montman said. Joose won't be an option for Crowlers if that's what you're looking for. If it is then best bet is to post in the Q&A fb group asking if someone could grab you Crowlers and your friend could meet up with them tomorrow to pick up. A lot of generous locals are more than happy to do this for those that can't make it.

    My favorite is the Red and Blue Triple

    If anyone is down in Myrtle Beach this week there appears to be one of the Q&A admins down there and he's planning to do some beer and BND glassware giveways. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the Q&A page if you are on FB (or his IG Page)

    I need to find these generous locals. The only people I see offering to mule these on facebook are asking for 50+ shipping for a crowler.

    New beer / can releasing today, 8/27, @ 4pm..
    _________________________________________
    "But Wait, There's More" is not once, but double the dry hopped with silky Cashmere, and super precious Citra and Mosaic. Just $8.50 per can! But Wait, There's More! If you buy just two cans, we will give you two more cans, absolutely free (just pay separate processing and handling). That's 4 cans for the low never heard of price of $17. That's right a $34 value for half the price. Don't wait! These deals won't last. Our operators will be standing by!
    4 packs of the not once but double the IPA for the low price of $17!

    I'm usually happy to help folks out. Most people I see do cost of $23/crowler + label (which covers the tax and tip on a $20 joose). But I also don't mess with it in the summer because I don't want to deal with ice packs etc. But yeah, if you have people quoting $50 per that's highway robbery unless it's something that's a one time one off and even then that's absurd. I struggle with paying $20/crowler to begin with, but they've stepped up their game lately for sure. I'm just not there nearly as much as I'd like to be, once every couple months usually.

    Well feel free to PM me next time you go! Chicago is kind of notorious for getting gouged on non local beers that people mule. A lot of common ones are cost +10 + shipping per 4 pack. It's insane.
