I believe abecall98 and I are heading to Altamont tomorrow afternoon. johnnyramirez , any other interested parties care to join us?

Just to confirm, if anyone has been there: they will fill 750s, right?

Their website says they offer 64 and 32-oz growlers, but www.californiagrowlerfills.com doesn't specify any other sizes.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

Any Parabola or Sucaba around the city or north of the Bay?

Parabola was gone in in the city most places the same day it arrived. Sucaba/Parabola I still have yet to see in the East Bay.

What time are y'all heading there? I might be up for it.

As for 750's...I asked and the info I got was sketchy at best. They said yes at first then said no because they were confused what size I was talking about...all I know for sure is they will fill 2L swingtop and screw top and 1L swing top/screw top. Fills are $10-13 for 2L, $6-8 I believe for 1L. If they don't have stickers/tags that show all the relevant brewery info for the fill they'll make you buy a growler koozie for $8.

They also don't serve pints, only serve $6 taster flights.

lots of sucaba in a few places - PM for details so I don't blow up the spots:

Looking forward to trying out this new local for me. I need a growler fix or two.

So refreshing to see growlers for those prices.

abecall98 and I will be there at 5:30 pm.

I sent them an e-mail inquiring about growler fill sizes.

Hope to see you, and possibly others, there.

Damn, I will try. I'm out in Fresno visiting my sister and her boyfriend. May leave early though and try heading there. Though it looks doubtful. At some point we'll catch each other and I'll buy you a beer

Don't rush back on our account. There will be other opportunities for sure. Hopefully before FWIBF.

I'm gonna be really ******* thirsty Arbitrator. Finished the move out. Need beer.

I'm currently soaking some growlers in CLR + water. Hoping to sand them off in 20 minutes. Reasonable-growler-filling policies, here I come!

No time for me. I'll just grab a Couple Koozies.

Even if they're blank, they still may require a koozie. Painters tape works fine with them provided they have the tags for them to put on the growlers. Otherwise you're stuck with a koozie either way

 

[abecall98]

Well, that was a great time with Arbitrator. Pleasantly surprised how good Altamont's beers were, especially for the great prices. They didn't have the stickers for the blank growlers , but when they do, I'm gonna be a regular for fills.

I'm still bitter that their stupid policy let them pass up 8.5 L in growler fills. Idiots.

Drake's appears to have a new year-round IPA:

I never tried out the experimental ones, but this seems like it might be worth checking out.

They should just bottle Aroma Coma year round.

Checking into my hotel at 10AM in San Jose, tasting with a buddy at 1PM in Sunnyvale then I'm going to head north probably around 4PM. I'm thinking RR / Santa Rosa area between 5-8PM. I'll send you my number.

Sunday I'll be in the city. Monday in south bay.

Tap list probably won't have any surprises, but I would expect some 3-, 6-, and 9-liter bottles to make some appearances...
