You may recall a while back we reported that Greene’s Fine Foods on East Trinity, which specialized in fudge, candy and ice cream would soon be expanding into the world of adult beverages; including wine, beer and growlers.  Tommy writes in to tell us that “Greene’s Growlers, Craft Beer, Wine, and Soda shop is now open for business!”

To get an idea of the 16 beers currently on tap at Greene’s new Growler station, see the pic above.

A few days back, “writerchad” mentioned in passing that Ale Yeah! would begin selling growlers this Thursday.  I checked in with Eddie at Ale Yeah! and he confirmed that was the plan, however he still had his fingers crossed that yesterday’s tap installation went smoothly.

Apparently it did, because he just wrote back…

We will be pouring growlers today at 6pm. Nick Purdy with Wild Heaven will be buying the first one and giving it away to a lucky customer!

As of 5pm yesterday!

While Decatur beer retailers are still prepping to begin selling growlers to the general public, it looks like Atlanta’s Hop City was the first out of the gate in the Atlanta metropolitan area (Athens’ The Beer Growler was first in the state), now offering 16 rotating taps of draft beer.

The AJC’s Drink blog reported a partial list of intial draft options yesterday:

Jailhouse Breakout Stout; Port Mongo Double IPA; Red Brick Dog Days and 16th Anniversary; Terrapin Moo-Hoo and Rye Squared; Victory Braumeister Pils and Donnybrook Stout; Wild Heaven Invocation and Ode To Mercy.

Now that it seems like growlers are inevitable, what draft beers are you hopping (har har) to see on your kitchen counter soon?  I need to start a list!

Doug alerted me to this coming segment yesterday afternoon, admitting that he apparently gets all his news from DM lately. (He profiled our “golf cart” transit consideration earlier in the week.)
