    Heading up camping this weekend, planning on hitting the industrial park for some beer. On Austin Street's page, it looks like they only do tasters and growlers. Am I correct to assume no cans and/or bottles to go outside of the growlers? Space is at a premium in the truck, so growlers are out of the question for this trip.

    thanks...

    You are correct. At Austin St. only growlers to go, tasters in house. They do have small 32oz. growlers and some tasty offerings. In the industrial park you can get cans at Bissell. They had Substance and Baby Genius last Saturday. They usually release about 40 cases a day for retail at the brewery (their facebook page gives out exact info before opening). If you want cans from Bissell on the weekend get there about 30 minutes before opening (summer). Foundation sells cans of Epiphany but they will not have any available until early August.

    Austin St. does do bottle releases, however, they are sporadic and they are well promoted on their social media accounts.

    Hi guys, as stated above we do random bottle releases. There isn't any real schedule, but we will have quite a few lined up for late summer/early fall. Next year we hope to be canning a lot of our stuff, but that won't be until after the 10bbl system is up and running in January. -Jake Austin
