Growlers, growlers, and growlers, oh my!

With approval of our growler labels by the California Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control this week, we can finally start filling growlers. There are, of course, a few stipulations:

• The Good Beer Company does not have any growlers in stock for purchase at this time. We will get a shipment of growlers in November and begin to sell blank growlers consistent with the following requirements. Until we start carrying blank growlers, you are welcome to bring in your own blank or growler with adequately obscured labels (please use tape). We also don't stock caps or lids - your growler should have a lid or flip top when you bring it into the tasting room.
• Blank growlers - we fill only blank growlers. Your growler can be covered in tape such that any other labels are adequately obscured. If we see any evidence of any other brewery, we will not fill the growler. Use thick opaque tape that is water resistant so that any labels are properly obscured after a water rinse and condensation.
• Glass growlers - this should go without saying. Everyone uses glass. Don't bring us a plastic or wood growlers. We will accept stainless steel or ceramic growlers as long as they meet the other requirements on this list.
• 2 Liters - at this time we are only authorized by the ABC to fill growlers that are 2 Liters in volume. 
• Clean - last, but certainly not least, bring us a clean growler to fill. We aren't going to scrub the grime out of the bottom of your growler. In order to avoid gnarly growlers, you should rinse your growler with hot water immediately after you drain it. We will sanitize your growler before filling, but we will not scrub it clean.

That's it. That's all you have to do to get a growler fill at The Good Beer Company. We will list growler fills on our tap list in the brewery (and occasionally via social media) and the beers will rotate frequently based on what's available. You can contact us via social media or email at any time with questions about what growler fills are available.

For additional information, the California Craft Brewers Association released this statement regarding the recent growler law clarification, allowing the filling of blank or properly obscured growlers.

Bring in your blank, clean, 2-liter, glass (or stainless steel) growler for a fill of Good Beer! Don't forget it's our Grand Opening Weekend Extravaganza!!!
