I've got a buddy who collects growlers (stay tuned for his eventual appearance on Hoarders!), and has asked me about this one.

Does their growler have any kind of painted label, or just a generic brown jug?

It has the Broadhead logo painted on the front and their address on the back, all in white.

Thanks!

I thought the white was really good, nice and refreshing with just the right amount of orange and coriander, I didn't get any banana or clove out of it so I would think it's probably using some variant of the American Ale or American Ale II, or possibly us-05. I'd definitely drink it again.

The keggerrator looked nice too, uses a Danby stainless steel looking fridge, I think I'll be picking one of these up.

Went here Friday tried the backbone standard ale, the white, the oatmeal stout and the wildcard pale. The stanard and the white were pretty meh,wasn't really interested. The stout was really good, but they were out of growlers. The wildcard pale was really good too. Made with galaxy hops. Picked up a growler. it seems wildcard is sort of a brewers choice beer where the type of hops used will change regularly. I really like the galaxy, the only other time I think I have had them was the double galaxy double IPA i got at the Hill Farmstead brewery in Vermont.
