    Both of those options, while appealing, are illegal. The only formats that breweries and brewpubs are allowed to sell for off premise consumption are 64oz and 750ml. These are what our legislature have defined as growlers.

    As to the infection issue, I am pretty sure that was caused because of the place they bottled at. I have heard that TH will bottle only when they could do it in house. I was hoping that would be after the remodel.

    I'll be there. I wish there would be some way we could have some kind of bottle share in line.

    Can anyone give their "personal" reviews of the options released last year?

    Am I just missing something, or has there been an announcement about exactly what growlers are going to be released besides Twisted Trace & Czar Jack? I don't see it on the website or Facebook or Twitter. Seems odd there isn't an obvious list the day before the ticket sales.

    How early are people showing up?

    if anyone wants to swap twisted trace for another release, might be interested.

    As in, I would love two twisteds!

    And how does pickup of growlers work? Can you show up anytime after the release? How long do they hold your growler for?
