Woot!!
And there it is.
haha! Growler first.
13.5% hey, now!
Naturally. Pricey but with that ABV it's like three beers in one.
Ha! Yeah, I never even thoght of it when I asked them to fill my 64 oz'er with Sarco.....Then I went to pay. WTF? $24! Like you say worth it....once in a while.
Prices are all over the place here. For most mainstream stuff, it's $6-$9 for up to a 64oz bottle (plus a couple extra ounces since they top 'em off). Stone's base offerings are about $6 for a 32oz+ growler. Ballast Point is $5 for 32+ oz, $9 for 64+ ounces. Goes up a little for some specialties depending on demand and ABV. Cheaper in almost all cases to get a growler if you're gonna drink that much. The 32+ ounce wootstout growler was the same as the 22oz bottles, maybe $1 more, but I won't go through THAT much of it quickly enough to justify the larger quantity purchase.
Those are nice prices, wish we had more breweries in the arctic!
Yeah, it's nice that they're all "competing" with each other. Lots of beer drinkers here, and they all want a piece of the pie. Also nice, though, that they all kinda work together in the battle against the macro breweries. The only assholes about the whole thing are the lunatics on some of the beer forums out there.
That's awesome...all about the little guys getting their share. Beverages are a brutal market with the conglomerates, nice to see the little guys makin em sweat! .
And they're making them sweat big time.
We have had 3 breweries pop up here in Fargo in 4 years, so that's been fun to see those companies grow and thrive. #1 state/capita again for beer consumption...finally they are sobering up and making their own stuff!
I need to go there more, they do a crazy beer/week it seems, here was their latest: The Deceiver Belgian Golden Strong is on tap tonight in the taproom. It pours a golden color with a thick white head. The aroma is a blend of candied citrus peel, spice and honey. Flavor starts with a honey sweetness that finishes with a slight tart character. ABV 8.3% IBU 16.
10 oz. snifters/$4, 16 oz. pints/$6 and growler refills/$10.
Here is the youtube of them if you want to kill 10min
