    I like the growler, I actually wish it didn't have bruery branding on it though, I really want one 32 oz growler that can be filled everywhere local to the bruery ( noble, bl, phantom ) without having to cover it with tape , just something I can keep in the car and get it filled without a hassle. I'd be fine with having to show my rs card for 32 ounce fills

    I've been on weekdays usually. Last time it was a Monday, but not a members Monday.

    What time though? I'm sure it's crowded in the evening but if you can get over there during the day, I'm sure it will be better.

    Exactly our experience, kids are welcome - The Bruery staff are super nice about the 'no kids at the bar' so we always try to post up elsewhere and pull out a few games.

    Right after work its always busy. Anytime before 4 and after 730 and you should be ok.

    I'd prefer this as well, although a lot of breweries who fill blank growlers will accept them if you put tape over any of the branding. An extra step, but works for some places.

    What is? They have had that on bottles, well since SHIT was kind of released last year. Looks like they might be finally running low.

    I must have missed it in bottles. Then again I don't make it to the tap room that often

    SHIT seemed like a win for them. Looks like it turned out ok AND they got to charge more for pours than what they could get for the bottles. (I'm assuming)

    Yup, been in the cooler on the right side toward the middle to be exact :wink: (Yes, I spend WAY too much time there)

    Did they? Because that was a big shit show of a news piece for Bruery. As I recall, no bottles but the promise of them coming soon and then coming soon.. and we swear it'll happen. To only get a face of reality that it could have been infected ala RdF/FdR, so it's tap only until it goes bad... Jump to even now and it's still on tap, so clearly they did do a win-win on this and decided that after 6 months of no sign of turning, that they'll finally bottle it. Go figure.

    That's incorrect, SHIT has been a bottle pour since late December. The variants were draft, but normal SHIT was kept as a taproom-only beer that they poured out of bottles.

    ^^Partially incorrect, since the events of it NOT being sell-through, as is the question here still is correct.


    So then they've been holding it in bottles and not for sell through all this time under the mentality of "We'll stop when it seems like it's turning."

    Either way, it was a shit show as that was the $20 refund towards the end of the year. But this is the actual first I hear of them selling through on it.

    It has been for sale in the form of tasters and full pours, you just can't buy a bottle to go. Keeping it cold the entire time has likely kept it from turning, but they're running low on it now. Not sure where the confusion is coming from, but they were pretty clear about it once they finally owned up the fact that we weren't going to get bottles of it.

    think the confusion here is that the instagram makes it appear (at least to my conclusion) that the bottles are for sale for off site consumption.

    So that post is simply "we're finally running low on this beer that we hyped as not going to last long before it goes bad six months ago"

    so yeah, i think the poster and myself had a different interpretation of it.
