And I'm really in the dark about growler etiquette. Do I walk into the growler bar and just ask to fill my growler, or do I buy a couple of beers than have my growler filled?

Can I have my growler filled then drink from it at the bar or do I have to take my growler home before I can drink it? Do I carry it in a bag or carry it in the open as I walk into the growler bar?

I really need help on this because as far as growlers go, I'm pretty growler ignorant.

Thanks.

You can fill it up without ordering a beer. You cannot, however, have it filled and drink from it at the bar, at least in Iowa. Do yourself a favor and get a hydro flask. They aren't cheap but seal better and keep the contents fresh and cold.

Nice Jelly, you just took all the thrill away from his new present. Quit acting like some big city prick from Denver.

This one has a ceramic top with an orange ring for sealing. Its etched with a Hawkeye helmet with 2015, 12-0 on it. A commemorative growler. Looks good on my bar, but a little hesitant to use it as a true growler. It has put me in a growler mood though.

I'll check out the hydro flask. Any recommendations on the best place to purchase one?

I am in an airport so my sarcasm meter is kinda broke. I thought it was good info.

IMCC...I have a couple of hydros from my local brewery (according to SP, it sucks) and they run about 50 bucks. A quality outdoor outfitter will carry them (Crawdaddy Outdoors in Waverly) as well. Get one and don't ruin your sweet Hawkeye one. Hydros are damn near indestructible.

Safe travels

Just remember during turbulence that airplane wings can bend pert nere 60 degrees before they crack and snap off. But don't think about all the fuel that's in there, that kind of freaks me out as well.

Good luck.

747's hold 51,000 gallons of jet fuel. That's over 5 of the big semi truck tanks!! Talk about an explosion!!!

This isn't too far from the airport and I'm telling you it's the best. It's where the PGA Tour players go during Bay Hill Classic. You can trust me, I'm fat.

Celebrating 65 Years!!!!
Lee & Rick's opened in 1950, as a 9 stool establishment which only served oysters. Lee & rick ran the restaurant out front, and raised their family in the back portion, which served as their home. Beverages consisted of whatever you brought in to drink, which Lee kept cold for you in her ice box. Today Lee & Rick's is operated by their oldest son and his family, continuing the tradition of this family run establishment. Vital to Lee & Rick's longevity is friendly personalized service, quality of food and maintaining the reputation as a local favorite.

Today, the famous concrete shucking bar totals 80 feet in length, seating up to 50 people is a spectacle of delight as oysters are individually shucked for your entertainment, as well as an assurance of their freshness.

Lee & Rick's was the first restaurant of it's kind to be opened in Central Florida. Rick, being a sailor had seen Oyster Bars in his travels around the coast of Florida and especially in the Panhandle where he himself had shucked oysters as a child. The restaurant was an instant success and just through word of mouth, quickly became known as "the only place", for fresh oysters. Rick found himself making weekly trips to Apalachicola in his pickup truck just to supply oysters for his thriving restaurant.

For some reason this reminds me of a male strip joint. Grrrrr!
 
I am with Jelly and say just keep that growler as a collectible. I have a couple of swingtops from Germany I will never use again. If you are a craft beer fan go to your local craft shop/bar and get there growler. An Ipa should last one to two days and an Imperial Stout three to four depending how soon you open it.
