As far as growlers go, the ones from DrinkTanks is among the best out there. Their insulation and dual bail system really lock in the freshness of a pulled pint. 32oz fits two pints from all bars willing to fill it.
Our friends thoughtfully gifted the man a beautiful 32oz grey for Christmas and it has been in use ever since. Weekly. Heh. This size works best within the constraints of our fridge space. Ours works very well to keep beer fresh overnight. That's more than sufficient. Once filled and if we don't open the growler at home, it can easily keep beer fresh for three to four days.
That night, we stopped by Thirty Six Brewlab and Smokehouse to fill the growler before the dinner. This is exactly where Little Creatures used to be, right at 36 Club Street. What a nice address for 36 Brewlab. I think they took over the distillation tanks too. It was quiet at the bar, and we decided to have a pint before heading off. Opted for beers from Lion Brewery Co — a refreshing Island Lager pilsner for me, Zizi Stardust mead for the man, and an easy Straits pale ale for the growler. It was a hot day, we downed our beer in minutes. Then the man and I shared a pint of 36 Brewlab's Something Something APA.
The venue doesn't actually take dogs. We were just there to get a to-go and were fine with chilling out by the side to wait, and have a beer. The dog could just lounge about on the street. She was happy to be out and about at sunset, watching the world go by. She wasn't impressed by our growler or beer though. She still doesn't fancy the smell of alcohol. She shows a tad more interest in the initial scents, but once she gets through the layers to the ethanol, to her, they're all the same. Yes, dog, you might be right about that.
