On sunday I purchased a growler of Coor's Batch 19. When I opened it about 4 hours later it was flat. Drain pour. I went back on monday & informed someone at the growler station what happened & that the growler was filled from "bottom up using a tube attached to the tap. When the person filled it, all foam came up & the beer that was left was flat. They offered me a another growler "on the house". This time I asked them not use the tube. The difference was night & day. I just want to BA's in the area to know that was a classy move by them to replace the growler. I recommend This Whole Foods highly.
And your second mistake was not hitting DeCicco's in Ardsley 10 minutes up the road. I said good day, sir!
I've been to DeCicco's. The point of the post was twofold. First to inform BA's about places that use a tube to fill from bottom-up results in a flat beer, regardless of which beer. Secondly to point out that Whole Food's offered me a replacement fill-up (not using the tube) no questions asked.
They probably had the flow too high then? See the discussion on the Tired Hands thread, but I can tell you in general tube from the bottom up is the preferred method when a CO purge isn't an option. Tap straight into growler is "better-drink-it-sooner-than-later" scenario.
I cant believe that they actually sell a growler coors and secondly cant believe that people would actually purchase it it probably taste better flat
It's possible that the flow was too high, because watching the person fill it, the beer was overflowing for a while before it filled. Since I was going to drink it in a couple of hours, I didn't think it go flat so soon.
Batch 19 is far superior than the standard stuff. I wasn't in the mood for an ale since I had ales the night before.
