Have heard something: Is there some problem with having growlers to go, with the beer being over a certain percentage, in GJ or CO in general? Anything stupid going on in CO beer laws that I should be aware of? Cheers!
I don't think it would be CO in general. You can get growlers of several of Avery's huge ABV beers. Someone like @dauss would certainly know if there are any law caveats.
So, I'm guessing, the Ale House will not let me have a growler to go? Brewery's and Brewpubs only, with no limit on the ABV, right? Cheers!
Cool, thanks. I'm still thinking that Kannah Creek will not let me walk out with a growler of a higher ABV brew, but now I'm thinking because of availability, but we'll see what happens. Cheers!
Probably brewery's choice. I've been to a few different breweries where they won't do growlers of XXX beer because it's high gravity, a very small batch, or both.
Only thing I've heard on this is that you need a "manufacturers license" to sell growlers. That being said, taphouses cannot sell a growler to go. As far as ABV, I haven't heard any such rules. I'm sure it's completely up to brewers discretion.
You can walk out of Avery with a Growler of Tweak, PumpKyn, Rumpkin, etc.. They are close to 18%. I think it costs you $110 tho.
Good to know. Was this pretty recent? I think I was there about a month ago. Does Avery do Crowlers? $32 for a crowler of Tweak isn't totally insane. Some places in the country have "growler fill" stations in supermarkets where you can fill up a growler with all kinds of delicious beers. Sounds like that wouldn't be legal in the state. Too bad we can't get Hickenlooper more involved but essentially it's consumers vs. distributors and liquor store owners, so the concentrated interest generally wins against the larger diffused group.
