Honestly, when I read Troy's post, guess who the first person who came to mind was...

Certainly not me? In Shadyside? HA! You don't know me at all...

Plus...all my kids are completely ambulatory at this point.

 

[wyckydsceptre]

I'm nothing if not consitent. Consistently a doofus ******* with a pre-ambulatory child that I drag with me on beer runs.

 

[Grodd87]

Hammerhead was a damn good beer by the way

No, it was Phil.

Agreed. Speedway is one beer I will always seek out the variants. Been lucky enough to try a lot at this point. Even scored Velvet bottles on my first trip to California.

Does GE still only fill their own growlers?

I don't think they ever have I filled a roundabout and BG there before but something could of changed. I usually only fill ge there.

I've had non-GE growlers filled there before.

 

[wyckydsceptre]

Negative. But it does have to be a 32oz screw top growler - like the kind East End and Hitchhiker use.

Ok cool. I got some grief at the south hills village market district a year or so back about only filling their own. Just making sure. Thanks!

 

[barflybastard]

Forgot that part--never had a non-screw top filled there.

They must think that they are in the glass bottle selling business not the beer selling business.

Not knowing all of the TB crew personally, did one of you stop by MD for a growler of Hammerhead sporting a backwards Wayne's World cap and carrying a child?

I think you might have been pulling into the garage to park while I was leaving. Couldnt really make out who was in the car, but there were a couple people, 3 maybe, I could just be making this all up too.

I was flying solo but rest assured that if I would have passed you while parking, you would have received a hardy one finger hello!

I really hope Steel City Beer picks up some other good brands. The easiest I would think would be brands that are already in the state, or neighboring ones.

I know via their Twitter they've been chatting with Rhinegeist and Jackie O's. Other brands I hope are on the horizon are Half Acre, Revolution, Three Floyds, and Pipeworks (Midwest homer I know). And I know Firestone is a big omission...but they'll definitely go to Fuhrer with the Duvel thing. Same with Boulevard.

Maybe Tired Hands would be a good next step as well.

What about Brew Kettle? I'd love some White Rajah on demand.

Really? I got a 32oz flip top filled 2 weeks ago when Cuvee de Tomme was on

Oh. Well that's good to know. I guess I just assumed since they got those 32oz screw tops with the GE branding and have to heat seal them. Awesome. Much prefer the flip tops

I second Brew Kettle and Half Acre. Union Craft would be another good one too. I guess we'll be getting Devil's Backbone at some point due to the AB acquisition. I think their vienna lager is one of the best beers ever made. Would it be too ambitious to hope for Cigar City? I know they distro to Philly. How about the Bruery?

 

[Beerwanderer]

I think it might be better/to your benefit to have a 32oz growler with a wide opening because not all growler technicians have the ability to pour without a hose and the hoses GE uses do not fit all in the 32oz swing top bottles.

*sometimes I forget we can use pics to illustrate

Bring on the Daisy Cutter! I stock up every time I am in Philly.

Bruery would be great as well.

this...definitely this.

i would love some cigar city my car is filled every time I come back from Disney.

If only she gave Bill that much head...

I have...

I thought she annoyed the **** out of me...until Megan Fox stood in for a few episodes and I quickly recalibrated my opinion of her...she actually makes the show better. Still not sure if she's somehow mysteriously good...or if Megan Fox was that bad. Probably the latter.

Megan fox has the looks of a professional porn star with the acting ability of an amateur porn star

Agree with both of these valid points.

do growlers / other smaller containers need to have the silly govt disclaimer on them to be filled? I have east end's 64 oz insulated that has it, but if i get a smaller version from the company that makes theirs (fifty fifty), it won't
