East End Brewing Company
Receive $1 off of the purchase of NEW GROWLERS.
"What is a growler?" you may ask? Why it's the very best friend of a good beer drinker such as yourself! It's one half-gallon of the freshest brew you ever laid your lips on. With the discount, it is $2 for the jug, $10 for the beer, refills $10. The containers are completely reusable.
If you don't already know, East End Brewing Company, just rated the 3rd best local microbrewery by City paper readers, is a microbrewery in the true sense of the word, and not a brewpub. In the construction and operation of the East End Brewing Company, wherever possible, a specific if not compulsive emphasis was placed on the basic principles of environmental sustainability. These guiding principles lead the way to a brewing operation that puts a much lighter load on the earth's resources than comparable traditional facilities. Call (412) 537-2337 for more information.
