Anybody ever been here? I don't know if it is just a growler, bottle, and keg shop, or if they have a bar? The selection on their website seems legit to say the least. http://www.jugsdraft.com/
I live right down the street and stopped in last week. They sell bottles to go and do fills. Not sure if anything is available for on premise consumption. The staff was very friendly when I stopped in. My understanding is the owner was buying kegs as they worked on the build out, so it explains the impressive collection of taps they have right now. Looks like they do fills with a tube, but I haven't purchased one, so I can't say how well they do it yet, but I'll definitely be back there soon for a fill. I will say they had some great bottles available when they opened. Some really, really great bottles.
Cool, generally I really can't tell the difference between counter pressure fills and tube fills anyway. Though I typically drink my growler within a few days of purchase. Never understood the need to hold on to a growler? I'll most likely check it out in the next weak or so, and probably add it to the BA database when I get a chance.
I agree. I have no problem with growlers that aren't counter pressure fills. I never purchase a growler unless I'm going to finish it in a few days, so it's never a problem for me either. In my experience what matters most is the way the person fills it.
I've purchased a handful of bottles from him and I've had 2 growler fills already, both have been great, though I haven't waited longer than 2 days to consume them. The bottles can be a little pricey, but some of it you can't find in stores anymore (Coffee Noir, Vanilla Noir, orange was Bomb!, RU-55, Boxer's Revenge, etc.). I haven't done growler fills anywhere else, but I thought the prices on those were pretty excellent.
I got a card of theirs tonight at 8th wonder, had no idea what their deal was, cool to see a few of y'all know what it's about already
I love Jugs, been there multiple times already. I have stocked up on prairie noirs there. The owners are very friendly. Glad to see some competition for Growlers. One side note, they dont have a sign yet, so it was hard to see at first.
