    Growler Filling Policy: "Please feel free to fill as many growlers as you would like. In Pennsylvania, each transaction must be limited to 192 fluid ounces. This means that upon receipt, if you would like to purchase more than 192 fluid ounces of our beer, you must leave the premises and then return to pick up additional beer (and then repeat the cycle if you’d like any more beer!).

    We will also be opening up for 64 oz growler fills on MOST ALL BEERS. There will, of course, continue to be a few beers that we will not do any growler fills of (one-off kegs, anniversary beers, etc.), but this should be a rare occurrence.

    We will continue to fill our branded glassware only, as we are STILL exceedingly proud to put our name on our Strange & Beautiful beer. If this is a very big issue for you, we will be happy to let you “trade-in” any growler for one of ours. Sound good?"

    Growler fill Prices
    64 oz: $20.00
    32 oz: $10.50
    Glass: $5.00

    (prices vary occasionally for higher gravity / limited quantity beers)

    Does anyone know if there are any bottles available if I'm in the area on Saturday?

    Looks like both spots have Ourison Batch #10 based on their website right now. Love that beer.

    In all fairness I haven't had this batch but I have liked the ones that I have had (1-4, 7) I try to pick it up if it's around. Has anyone kept a vertical and noticed batch variations?

    In all honesty I only noticed like a month ago after looking further down their tap lists. That's where the bottle list resides.

    I tried to but didn't think to label them. I figured how I positioned them in my cellar would help me remember their batches but then one day I was hastily hunting for a beer before a share and just placed them all over the place. Now I have no idea what's what...

    The website can be really inaccurate sadly. Instagram is usually best way to check

    Line is the longest I've seen in weeks. Not milkshake-long, but almost starting to wrap back through the lot towards Lancaster. Surprised, honestly. I doubt Slug makes it past 6:30 with the low yield. Church should go the distance.

    I have batches 1-7 and am hoping to do a vertical tasting. I can definitely report back afterwards.

    Hopefully not 50 Yard Line, that may have been their worst beer that I've had.

    Cans in hand before 6, so a little over an hour wait for me. That line moved very fast! Whatever new checkout system they're starting to use is working very well.

    It could also be that it wasn't a Milkshake release so they prolly had a significant less turnout for this?

    Every turnout is significantly less than that of Milkshake.

    Last week's Double Birth/Oblivex was the easiest release of theirs I've been to and also the best combination of beer they've ever had at a release (including milkshakes). They might be the 2 best beers Tired Hands has canned (with consideration to Weedeater).

    Yeah I follow them there for sure which is why I probably never noticed the bottle lists on their site. Also probably helps now that bottles staying on site is a thing now usually.
