    New brewery in Marlton, NJ, Zed's. Had a couple samples. Not bad but $22 a growler.
    $22 is nothing. When Avery opened their new brewery outside Boulder a few years ago they had growlers priced from $16 - $100
    Public uproar caused them to rethink their growler prices.

    $100?  If it was barrel aged for 2 years then I get it, but no new beer is worth a damn $100...

    I believe the top end were for the barrel aged beers like Mephistopheles and Tweak. Both of which can pass 18% abv.

    Avery hadn't  done growlers at their original location so didn't know how to price them.

    Bear Republic makes some pretty good stuff.  One of my favorite beers is their El Oso, an amber lager.

    One of my favorites!  I've knocked down many 6 packs of anti-hero.  Do they have that for sale out by you?  I do remember hearing that Revolution was going to be available in the NYC area.

    a guy I worked with referred to a certain part of the female anatomy as the "growler." that would be the only one worth 100 bucks.

    That's awesome.  Can't believe how big they have gotten so quickly.  I used to live a couple miles from their brewery and would always get fresh growler fills.  If you ever see Fist City by them, definitely check it out....a delicious pale ale.  One of my favorite beers.

    I'll second the Fist City recommendation. Damn good beer. Anti Hero is better but it's a great change of pace.

    ^ 60 minute is great. Drank a bunch of it last weekend. Not as much a fan of the 90 minute though.
