How often do people need a quart of beer to go? I really don’t get this whole concept.

O’Neals on 3rd st does growler fills, I think it’s like 20% off the cost of 4 pints.

A growler holds slightly more than 5 bottles of beer, it’s not that different than picking up a six pack. They’re great for parties and game-watching. The real benefit to them is that you can get beer that’s available on tap, but hard to find in bottles.

Growlers can easily last for several days unopened. The problem is that some bars don’t know how to cap them. I see too many bartenders fill it, then let it settle. They need to cap on foam quickly to preserve as much of the carbonation as possible. Also, the screwtop caps must be replaced every couple fills, the seal wears out. They also need to be sealed very tight. Flip tops are better for this, the gasket lasts longer and they make a reliably tight seal.

Canal’s West Deptford is my favorite place to grab growlers. And I agree with Mike. I buy a growler when going to a friends house to watch the game, and have it finished by the end of the night.

Forgot to bring one to superbowl party last week and people were disappointed.

Jon’s Bar and Grille at 3rd and South Streets also offers Growlers. When a Bar or Restaurant offers a great Draft Beer selection I think offering Growlers is a great idea, some times bottles just don’t provide the taste that a fine Draft Beer does. You’re going to pay for it but I see that people who purchase Growlers really enjoy a good Draft Beer and they don’t seem to mind paying a premium for that opportunity.
