    Current Tap List: Checking the official tap-room page will show the most current taplist. Pours are available in 5 oz and 12 oz. Tasting flights are not available.

    Crowler/Growler Fills: SingleCut uses a crowler system developed by Oskar Blues with a CO₂ purge. They require a $2 deposit for a 32 oz fill. SingleCut uses a Counter Pressure fill system. This requires that all 32oz and 64oz growlers have a 1.125” standard threaded opening.

    SingleCut branded growlers require a deposit (32 oz are $8, 64 oz are $12). Growlers from other breweries are welcome, but must follow those measurement guidelines. Not all beers are available for growler fills, please check the tap room menu board for details.

    Bottles Sales: Bottles are for sale in the tap room when they are available. Notable releases are announced via SingleCut's Instagram/Twitter/Facebook. There is usually at least one bottle available for take away. Bottles cannot be consumed on the premises.

    Friday at 4pm, we'll be releasing cans of #SSMS and new IIPA Workers Are Going Home. 4pk/$20 24pk/$110.

    OR you can bring a pair of unopened, new socks to the Coalition for the Homeless Sock Drive and get your case for $100. Easy call.

    Love Singlecut and glad that their canning will reduce prices...
    I hope that this doesn't lead to hyped to releases and lines though - in general getting bottles on-site has seemed pretty relaxed, which I understand is because they went into retail as well... Assume that's the plan for the cans, but wasn't immediately clear from the post above...

    Also, wonder what, if any impact this has on what their on-site drafts and Growler fills go for... I'm nearly certain a 32oz fill of SSMS had been more than $10... Anyone with insight on that?

    Had been planning on making my first trip to Singlecut around 5 pm this Friday, which I now see is their can release day. Do you think I should be anticipating a mob scene?

    Would also like to see what this does to Singlecut... was hoping to get there late on Friday night to hang out for and being able to walk away with a case. Anyone know how many cases they're putting out tomorrow night?

    None - can release is Friday

    Also the post on their webpage says Brewery only. So no retail for cans i suppose.

    I think it will be just like a normal day. Maybe a few more people walking in to grab cans.

    Going by how Finback cans sell, I'd anticipate they'd be there for a week or so.

    anyone know if The Workers Are Going Home is on draft? Would like to try it before I commit to buying half a case of it.

    I would find it incredibly surprising if they sold out of cans tonight.

    I would be shocked. Singlecut beers have been readily available in growlers and bottles at brewery with no lines. Yes, there is a move to cans and a price reduction, but if this all of a sudden creates a surge of demand, people are really brainwashed about buying beer in cans.

    What do y'all think of that gift basket? I think I would rather have $30 in beer and the hat, rather than the glasses and that book.

    It's all about that paper bag man! That's where the extra $10 comes in!
