The Beer Growler is a chain out of Atlanta that just opened it's doors to Charlotte. They are located right across the street from World of Beer South End.
What a neat place and great idea. My husband and I came last week just to check it out. It just opened and they were actually fairly busy inside. (Though, it kinda looks like they are closed from the outside just cause it isnt well lit).
They had like over 45 beers on tap that you could fill your growler up with. We brought our own growler but you can buy one there for $5 for 64 oz or $2.50 for a 32 oz. There is a large board with the beers on tap and the growler prices. They don't do servings by the pint but they will let you sample beers. I believe they let you sample 4 beers before they start charging (seems like they are fairly lenient on this if you buy a growler though!).
As for the selection, they really do have alot of great options! My husband and I would consider ourselves very knowlegable about the NC (all there beers are from NC) brewing scene and they had a great range of breweries and types. There were actually a few breweries listed up there that I have never even heard of. The lady behind the bar was extremely knowlegable about the beers and breweries I asked her about! I noticed that Raleigh Brewing Company was on tap and she said they are one of the few places in Charlotte that have it. Seems like they go out of there way to make sure to get small breweries in there!
We ended up getting our growler filled with the Duck Rabit Rabbiter (I believe it was around $15 to get ours filled, there is no additional fee if you bring in your own growler) and buying one of there growlers to get it filled. Can't remember what we got....it was a brewery I was unfamilair with.
This place is an excellent way to learn more about NC beers or enhance your knowledge. Bring in your grolwer (or buy), sample some beers, and take some home to enjoy!
