    Some breweries only fill glass growlers.

    To the OP...lowpoint or not you at least have a story. Also, it wasn't like it was a year round pilsner that you drank out of a backpack. And cheers to whoever mentioned a chinois here.

    A low point would be Natty Light.

    Great story. Man gotta read the review on that one. Smells of bourbon. First taste a strange iron, metallic taste. Oh shit that is just blood from the cut on my tongue...

    Camelbak advocate signing in. I did a two week US trip recently where I covered a good portion of the New England breweries that are getting hyped up. At HF I certainly picked up my share of bottles, so much so that when I went to Boston and had gone to various other breweries and shops I had far more bottles than I could pack, and I was running out of time. Stupidly I was staying at a hostel where you can't drink inside, so I had to do some thinking. Since I had multiples of Arthur I figured that would do for a museum trip. Brought it in my backpack, went into a bathroom, filled that sucker of a camelbak up, and walked around with a goofy smile for the next couple of hours.

    If you poured the contents of the broken growler into a jug, you literally did not drink from a backpack. Literally
