Rip Current Brewing (new SD brewery)

Then you won't be buying growlers anytime soon.

The idea of stickers or a universal growler (printed with all the participating breweries logos/warning on it) just won't happen. The law will have to be changed, but there isn't any real push for new legislation at this time. Time to start your own PAC and hire some lobbyists.

While the cost of the SS growlers is high, they also won't break, won't cause light damage and you can bring them into public places that allow beer but no glass. Much more utilization in my book. Also super awesome if you're a homebrewer.

 

$20 is the cheapest I've heard for a SS growler. I might get one since they are close by and making some fantastic beers from the start.

 

Went to Rip Current on Saturday. Great lineup of beers, although small for now, and the DIPA is fantastic.
The tasting room was quite pleasant compared to some of the other nearby places that have bus hordes of obnoxiously wasted rookies spilling out everywhere (not just referring to Lost Abbey either)

 

Cough...IRONFIST...cough...MOTHER EARTH...cough...

 

Won't be long before RipCurrent is added to the drunk bus list. While they do the breweries a lot of business, they are a serious pain in the ass. If I see one I flip a bitch, hit another brewery, then return later.

 

A certain well-regarded brewery has a tasting room employee, whose name I will not mention, who will sneak me a beer when a tour bus crowd has the line 20+ deep.

 

In loving memory of Current Brewing. Respect.

 

Now filling blank stainless steel growlers at both locations.

 

Finally. I still find it bizarre how various breweries can interpret the law so differently, but Rip Current is one of the few holdouts that I actually cared about.

 

About time
