I'd have to see the JK version first, but I like the bigger between the two posted like Pesqueeb.
Custom stainless steel growlers - who's interested?

Waitng to see an RM tattoo pop up in the tatt thread...where is PSP when you need him?
Or we could flip the head and the URL:
Turn them both upside down...that way folks can read the emblem and logo while you drink...
I like the bigger logo.
Yeah I still like that one most. Second choice is the version BV posted today with the URL below the logo.
I'll post a poll on the versions today, unless there are other versions that people would like to see.
Any other mockup ideas that you guys want done before there's a vote on which version to produce?

You realize this is just a growler, not a 100 gal. fermenter, right?
Or did you want me to include a loupe with each order?
Thrown for a loupe...
it's what happens when a microscope gets drunk and hooks up with a monocle.
i'd say that's probably doubful. not impossible, but would likley cost extra over standard screening options.
Yeah, now if we can just get those breweries (or at least the ones by us) to stop charging 50-100% MORE for a growler than they do for a 6-pack of the same beer. 6-pack in the local grocery store: $7. Growler: $10-15 (!).
Are these still available?
I like the big logo...

How you going to fit it in your car?
must. spread. rep.How you going to fit it in your car?
dante, you of all people should know that a growler is going to be much fresher beer than the 6 pack at the store.
didn't you commute in a lifted jeep for a year?How you going to fit it in your car?
i think it was longer. but he was able to figure out on his own how to transport all his sh*t
I thought most of the cost of growler is the glass deposit that encourages you to bring it back...and get a refill.
Nope. That's why I bought my commuter.
EDIT - unless you're taking about before I bought my house, in which case yes, I did. But my commute then was only ~15mi each way, not 50.

not a deposit, a purchase price. he's talking about fill only. growler + fill is typically around $20
This would be great, but the breweries around me can only legally fill their own growlers.
i think that's a state regulation. PA used to be the same way.
Eh, maybe some places, but probably not here. The smaller breweries self-distribute, and the high turnover at some of the bigger stores ensures that you're probably getting it at most a week or two after it's bottled (for the popular stuff). If they were at all comparable in price I'd do almost all of my beer shopping at some of the local breweries, but at $15 it's practically cost the same as sitting down at a brewery for the afternoon and ordering 4 beers. So instead my money goes to the grocery store, the distributor, etc.
A decent 6-pack here cost about $8-10. For $7 you're getting something on-sale or average at best. A lot of the local breweries here only have cans for their most popular brews and the rest you can only get at the brewery, bars, growler stations, and/or restaurants.

can't believe i'm agreeing with syadasti.
decent beers around here for for $10 or more for a 6'er. and because of pennsyltucky's archaic liquor laws, growlers are all but guaranteed to be fresher (distribution methods of the state, low turnover, etc).
just the other week i was at a distributor and they had cases of expired (out of date) beer still on the floor for sale.
Going to leave this right here for ya....
188 -- Number of brewing establishments in Oregon, defined as places where beer is made.
1 for every 3,226 -- Breweries per capita in Hood River County, tops in the state.
Finally, heres a city-by-city breakdown of brewery number, as of last summer:
Portland: 50
Bend: 18
Eugene: 10
Salem: 7
Corvallis: 6
Hood River: 5
Astoria: 4
Hillsboro: 4
Grants Pass: 4
Redmond: 4
Medford: 4
Other, scattered: 42
I think Coors Blue Moon even cost $8.50 - who buys that at that price (you can get a Belgian Leffe 6-pack for less!)? I'd say $10+ is fair for a premium 6-pack. I live near a chain of liquor superstores, so if you go to a small store or a supermarket it's probably at least $1 more.
When I was in Portland the supermarket was about $1 or so cheaper than the liquor superstores around here.
It drives me crazy at PA Wegmans they have a special liquor checkout and won't ring anything up there but liquor (due to the law). Have to walk to practically the other end of the store for the regular checkout.

in PA liquor is only sold at state stores. but your statement is correct, just replace liquor with beer.
6 pack stores and bottle shops are becoming more popular here, but by and far most beer is still sold at distributors, which is case only.
this is why the places in PA that sell bottles and 6 packs can charge $10+ for a decent 6'er.
Why do you think I like living out here, the weather?
All of the outstanding local breweries (New Glarus, Ale Asylum, Tyranena, etc) are in the $7-8 range, as are pretty much all the rest of the state breweries. Out of state vary from $7.50 for Great Lakes to $9 for Bells/Founders. Stone was $10, but they pulled their distribution because of lackluster sales.
So regardless of the dollar amounts, growler fills are almost double the cost of a 6-pack. If your local brewery was selling 6-packs for $10, would you be willing to pay close to $20 for a growler fill?
Oh, btw, this is roughly 1/3rd the craft/import beer selection at our local grocery store where I got those prices. There's more behind me and it continues all the way across the back, with full cases down the other side of the store....
