TGIF, New Friday Growler Specials!

There's something about the change of seasons, especially from fall to winter in which this year was way too short, that seems to make it far too easy to make all sorts of changes, whether minor or a bit more radical. Maybe as everything around you is changing, you just feel you have to too, like being caught in a river or rainstorm, adapt or die so you feel you have to do something. Or maybe it's all the extra energy from suddenly being relatively cooped up, not so easy to venture outside for a stroll. Whatever the reason, we're doing the same and one of these changes are the growler specials.

New Growler Specials

• What is it: The new special is 50% off all growlers every Friday!
• Why the change: We started off in the spring with having the buy one get the second half off on Sundays only. Then the Minnesota law changed allowing any liquor store to sell beer on Sundays, so we figured our special wasn't so special anymore and we extended it to every day which lasted until now. While the buy one, get the second half off worked well, something was lost by not having it just on the one day. Also, if you're going to have a beer special one day a week, especially for growlers, Sunday was probably the worst day to have it, as it's better fresh and the best way is right before most of the social activities for the week are starting, which is of course on Friday. The actual special was changed from buy one get the second half off to 50% off all growlers because, well, not everyone really needs to get two growlers, one can be plenty for 1-2 people, and making it to just one gives more flexibility to try different beers, growler sizes, quantities, you name it.
• When does it start: Today.
• Which growlers are applicable: All six of them, there are three 750 ml options (2 glass and one stainless steel), and three 64 ounce options (glass, plastic, stainless steel). The 50% off applies to the beer, growler containers, and refills.

Improvements with Growler Pouring
Since we've gotten started, learning curves have been everywhere and two of these had big impacts with our growler pouring.

• Carbonation: This used to be a huge problem as if the beer was too carbonated, it'd take forever to fill a 64 ounce growler. This problem has now been solved and the time needed to fill is probably 75% less than previously.
• Pouring Straw: Another issue we used to have is by filling the growler directly from the tap, the beer would catch a little more air, oxygen, when hitting the top of the inside of the growler while pouring, versus now we've discovered these long straws or tubes that we attach to the tap and it goes to the bottom of the growler, keeping as much oxygen out of the beer longer, helping to keep it fresh and tasty for whenever you desire.

The beers currently on tap include the Amaizing Cream Ale, Voyageur Pale Ale, and Black Swan Stout. Hope to see you see soon and stay warm, it's cooooooollllllllllldddd out there...
