I am going to a Growler party on Friday and would like to bring a beer that nobody else will have. Any suggestions other than consumers?

Becker Farms has a deal with Flying Bison. They buy, re-label and sell it as there own.

Consumer’s is honestly the best place to go.

I have a lot of beers that are too young to let others try yet, or I would offer one of those. I do have some Apfelwein nearly matured and quite drinkable [http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/](http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/)

Buffalo Tap Room  
Does Pearl Street fill growlers?

But really though, Consumers has different beers on tap at each of their stores. Just check their website and find a store with something different.

dude rohrbachs scotch ale is the shit!

i used to have my friend who commuted from the burg to RIT go and get me growlers of it all of the time from beers of the world. im pretty sure you just pay a $5 deposit on your first growler, then with every new growler they give you a new sanitized one.

magic hat brewery is the same way, all growlers of all of the beer they make is $7.50 with the inital $5 deposit, then they give you a sanitized growler and take the old one back, but you have to drive to south burlington VT 🙂

Village Beer Merchant has Flying Dog Raging Bitch on tap…I’d say that’d be a pretty unique beer to bring to a party. It’s a belgian-style IPA 😃

Lol. At $10 for a 12oz bottle I can only imagine what a growler fill is. Even the 90 minute is around $10 for a 4-pack

and that raging bitch is outstanding

A guy at work commutes from Rochester…  
He is always talking about the scotch ale ☹

Has it ever been on tap locally?
