Patch reported yesterday that “The Beer Growler” – the Athens joint that was the first store in the state to start selling fresh beer in those throwback 64 oz jugs – is slated to open a second location in Avondale next month.   The growler-revolutionaries plan to renovate the former InMovement dance studio space at 38 North Avondale Road.

I’m just getting into the growler swing of things and have been wondering, can you use one growler store’s growlers at another location?   Also, is it just me, or do you tend to drink more when you have an open growler in the fridge?

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!

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.)
