    All the places I've had growlers from in the states, a lot of these places in the top tier of respectability in the trade

    none of them had a "growler machine"

    tap -> growler bottle -> cap -> plastic cover on cap -> heater to seal the cap with the plastic

    always top notch results. of course, none of those beers were stored more than 2 days. if I buy a growler I intend to drink it soon, no need for dumb proprietary systems

    Bought two one-litre growlers recently and got a litre of Buried At Sea on the way home today in the nearest GBB bar.

    Tastes fine but have to say was a bit taken aback at the price (€14).

    Can't see myself bothering with it as a substitute for core range bottles, rather maybe just to get the occasional one-off that might like.

    I bought one from against the grain last week as i had missed the off license deadline.
    To refill will cost €16:75...with a whopping fifty cent saved on each pint, it's hardly worth it.

    Or am i late to the party? Did they used to be cheaper?

    They shouldn't be serving takeaway after 10,anyway.

    Sorry, let me rephrase, i was not going ti make it to an off license in time.

    But if what you're saying is true, than that's one more reason not to bother.
