    Have any BA's checked out Figure Eight's new location in downtown Valparaiso? Do they have anything special on tap? Do they have any guest taps? How is the food?

    I have Figure 8 on facebook and they're always updating their menu and tap lists... and both look very tasty... I do not believe they have any guest taps, but I could be wrong there. Figure 8 just marked its second year in craft beer and some beers are spot on, while others are way off the mark. Raven Tor, an oatmeal stout, is one of my favs.

    Did it open already? I was by there a few weeks ago and it looked in disarray. I can't tell from their site what the opening date was.

    It opened two weeks ago. Great location. Haven't been there yet. They are open today noon to six but only for beer sales.

    Thanks. Good to know. I'll have to stop over. There watermelon wheat beer I had on tap at Mayfest was great

    The watermelon wheat -- twist of f8 -- is now available in growlers. Love it myself. Stopping in next week for some.

    Do they still have the Adams Family pinball machine at the new location?

    I was there for the first time this last weekend. Had the devils drip and twist of f8. Both were pretty solid. The food was good as well.

    What do they charge for a typical growler including the cost of the glass?

    EDIT: Also do they fill other breweries' growlers?
