I know breweries/brewpubs often won’t fill other growlers (although I’ve heard that some will exchange growlers), but what about the bars like Devil’s Den? Do they require their own growler or will they fill the growler you already have even if it has some other label on it?

I know Grey Lodge will fill other growlers.

Devil’s Den will fill any growler. We do have some for purchase if you need, but we are about selling the beer, not the glass.

Dock Street filled out Victory growler last night.

With the wrong beer.

$21.50 that is

I had a conversation about growler refills and labeling a couple months ago (I think with ‘Joe Sixpack’). My thought for the local breweries/brewpubs that want to help alleviate the labeling concern would be to have a supply of paper labels that meet requirements and glue them right onto whatever generic/blank growler a customer presents. Paper labeled bottles are the standard, so I can’t imagine much difference for a securely attached paper label on a growler (no sticky-note type glue, although that would be simpler for both brewer and customer).

Thanks for the info re: Devil’s Den. I’ll be sure to pick up some brew from them, too.

Also, The Institute had expressed an interest in filling growlers in the past, but I don’t know if they have an official policy on doing so.
