    Can you bring your own clean previously used growlers from elsewhere?
    I'm going next week, no issue with those prices.

    I could be wrong but I believe the glasses are $3 for a 750 mL and $10 for a 2L. They are really nice swingtops too. Plus they will gladly fill growlers from other places. Definitely nothing too crazy in terms of prices at all. I don't think the money is being made off the glassware.

    As of today (restock) the 2L glass is $12.

    They will fill any and all growlers.

    Bring caps for screw tops, they don't have any.

    Yup, they will repurpose your growler, put a big old Blue Lobster sticker on it.

    The stickers do not stay on what so ever especially in this heat with all the condensation that occurs. That bing said power to them for not making me purchase more growlers that I don't need.

    Flower Power is an $11 6-pack - I wouldn't expect it to be more than $10 for a 64oz fill.

    What about fills of Captain Lawrence beers (more apt comparison)?

    Can't say how much it is at the brewery itself but here in Manhattan a growler fill of Captain Lawrence IPA is $13.95 at the Filling Station in Chelsea.

    Was thinking about making a run up there on Saturday until I saw the open time 2:00 pm seems very late, you basically have to make a day out of it to get a couple growlers.

    To anyone considering a trip there, I think they are closed Friday and Saturday of this week (going to VT Brewers Fest) - check their FB page before trekking.

    From BLB FB: "We have good news and bad news.....The bad news is that due to circumstances out of our control we will NOT be able to package enough beer to attend the Vermont Brewers Festivall. I guess that means the good news is that we will be open for the regular weekend hours. Please join Kelly and Dave M in the tasting room, while Roberta and I take a much needed weekend away."

    FYI: Don't bring a clear glass growler; they wouldn't fill mine because they were concerned about sunlight spoilage.

    Good to know. I have about a dozen growlers and a few are clear so I'll leave home along with my Troegs one since I doubt they will fill one that big, haha.

    I killed a 750 of Hampton Weis by myself last evening and would gladly repeat that performance every day of the week:slight_smile:

    Went up there on Sunday, super nice people and the beer is awesome as well, I really enjoyed the Excess is not Rebellion: Columbus, reminded me of an amped up Columbus pale from Hill Farmstead, and the Ragged Neck Rye is very nice as well.

    They also won't fill screw top growlers either, but kudos to them for putting a sticker on the growler vs making you buy theirs! I will certainly be stopping back in every time I'm in the area.
