Alchemist begins growler fills

[drgarage1]

Donovan's Red is up first. They're doing auto-filling, into their own stainless steel growlers only. Still, after a pricey first purchase, the growlers aren't that bad. And if they do something more exciting than a red ale, I imagine people will lose their ****.

Yeah. This strikes me as, "Hey, why do HF and Lawson's get all the attention for nightmarish releases?"

At first I was like:

and was more:

Still, great for locals.

Wish I could find a little more information about this. My wife and I collect growlers of places we've visited but it's a bit unclear how The Alchemist is selling them. It appears that they will have enough to last just through selling the special beer and that's it and don't expect them to last through Thursday. Stinks for us since I don't care about the special beer and really just want the growler. But it's sort of unclear in the post if that's true.

$15 for a stainless growler is crazy cheap! I know Societe in SD sells them for $25 and in Chicago Haymarket was selling them for 40 ****ing dollars! And, $12 for 64 oz of beer is very reasonable. Never understand why growlers cost more than 6 packs of the same beer? Seems like a rip-off and scam to me.
