Anyone know what breweries in/around Chicago offer crowlers to go? Only place I could find using Google-fu was Dry Hop. Any others?
In Illinois, it's not legal for anything other than a brewery or brewpub to sell growlers (or crowlers). And even then, only their own beer, not any guest taps. I think one could possibly argue that a crowler IS a packaged product... but according to the law here, it isn't packaged at the brewery. That is the key here. Being packaged at the brewery. If a growler or crowler is packaged at the brewery, then it can be sold at a package licensee. Rogue Dead Guy half gallon growlers is an example.
I'm a little late to the party, but unsurprisingly, Dry Hop's sister brewpub, Corridor also does crowlers (and I'd give Dry Hop and Corridor a try for those who haven't).
