Yes! We always have a variety of packaged beers stocked in our cooler at the taproom.
Beer To Go Formats
Core beers (Mirror Universe, Roselle, Crankin’ Foamers, etc.) and seasonal beers (Side Pull, Spirit Foul, Festbier, etc.) are sold in the same 12oz or 16oz formats as in stores.
Small-batch beers that are exclusive to the taproom (Strawberry Mint Roselle, Invented Traditions, Triple Universe, etc.) are packaged in a limited quantity of 750ml crowlers.
Purchase Limits
A new law mandates a purchase limit per person, per day of 128oz for 12oz and 16oz cans. This could look like two 16oz 4-packs or up to 10 12oz cans. This limit does NOT include or apply to 750ml crowlers or bottles.
Member Discount
Lifetime and sustaining members get 10% off 750ml crowlers, 12oz, and 16oz can purchases.
