The Growler Guys

Maybe cause the owner is my brother Rusty Caldwell and that he knows his way around beer and wine in Oregon that his stuff is great I didn’t get a bad beer and the atmosphere is so down home and friendly that the same people keep coming everyday Rusty and his staff knows everyone by name he will try to help you find the right beer or wine by the pint or by the growler
I give him 5 stars

Matt was most helpful and knowledgeable. Very sweet guy that helped my boyfriend and I taste many different types of Oregon beer. He made our experience one to remember and recommend to our San Diego friends back home. Thank you so much! Great atmosphere, astonishingly mellow, and all around clean place.

Great selection of beer. Went here yesterday when it was snowing and no one else dared to go outside. Had a chance to chat with the owner (really down to earth guy from New York).
Had a couple beer flights, watched football and kicked back on a Sunday morning. Will return!

I bought an awesome groupon deal and I really enjoyed this place.
They have anywhere from 35 – 42 beers on tap and several sized take home growlers. My groupon came with a 32oz growler which turned out to be a special made Growler Guys aluminum can that they seal on site (pretty awesome.) The groupon also included 2 taster sets (4 in each set) which is a great way to taste everything haha.
The workers are very knowledgeable and each worker is required to taste every brew they have on tap so they know what they’re talking about.
The place is very clean, organized and.metallic. They are located in a small strip mall like building with a private lot, but the lot seems to get full very quickly. No worries though because like everywhere else in Portland, there is a lot of street parking.
They don’t serve food but there is a taco place and a pizza place right next to them, which you are allowed to bring in your own food here.

Really disappointed by the customer service on this trip. I’ve been a regular customer to GG for a while and have thought really highly of them. This time around I got a pint of of beer that I’m really familiar with. After a few sips, it was clear to me that it tasted off, or «skunky». I went up to the bar to mention something about it, and was told that nothing was wrong with the beer and they wouldn’t pour me a pint of something else. So I was left with a full beer that was undrinkable.
Hoping a future visit will be better in service and beer quality.

IM A FAN ! Great knowledge on all the beers they have on tap. Great service. i really like this place its great oi catch the game here plenty of stating room. my phone died an i was that the use ipad to charge the customer i ask if could use there charger they said yes without any questions. IPA ALL THE WAY! Love the digital aspect of this pace very clean, even cleaner then this place are their restroom a boom!

My friends came from San Jose and wanted to grab some Kombucha to bring down. We stumbled upon the Growler Guys and came out with MANY growlers/​crowlers of beer, cider and kombucha. The staff were stellar and the selection was amazing. We were able to try all of the kombucha, many ciders, and many beers. The staff was very accommodating and gave us holders for the crowlers (we got to carry them around like 6-​packs).
Definitely coming back

Very clever tap house with digital/​lcd TV’s representing the «tap handle» which is carefully aligned right above the actual physical tap handle.
Guest beers from out of state were solid. Things like Alpine Brewing Nelson showed up here. Lots of accessories like Growlers, tshirts and stuff are abound but the tap list should keep you coming here for it’s variety and unique quality.

I loved this place! The kombucha was good and they have a huge selections of beers and ciders. You can can your own kombucha, beer, and ciders. The lady who helped us was super nice and it was just a wonderful experience. I left with a liter of kombucha and 3 1L cans of beer and ciders. I am definitely coming back if I visit Portland again!

Really open and comfortable environment. A little bit of outdoor seating but it’s dead in the sun… OK when it’s not 85 degrees out!
Great beer selection, great options for sampling, small drinks or large, and of course, fabulous Growler selection.
From the looks of the walls there is a nice locals/​regulars vibe going on… Looks pretty fun!
Only been here 2 or 3 times but enjoyed myself each time.

Second time that I visit growlers guys from S Ca and it has always been a great experience. Owners are very down to earth folks that enjoy having a conversation.
Beer: excellent selection all on draught.

Don’t let the strip mall location turn you off! This place was surprisingly cool once inside. They have dozens of beers on tap — mostly local from Oregon but a few from California and Idaho as well. We came here to find a beer to serve at our wedding, and although we didn’t decide on one, we had a lot of fun.
You can do a 5 tasting set for $ 10 and pick any of the beers or ciders on the menu! I opted for ciders while Ben went for the beer. The eldercherry cider was my favorite. Dark red in color and the perfect balance between sweet and dry.
The bartenders were friendly and attentive, and even gave us an extra tasting at the end for free. Overall fun spot!

Went here on a Saturday for a friend’s birthday party. Pretty nice and casual atmosphere with large windows that lightens up the place.
They had a large selections of local beers and ciders. Cute little sample taster glass and also offer beer flights. They don’t serve food, but I heard you’re allowed to bring in food or you can just get food elsewhere in that building. There’s lots of places to go in that area anyway. I love their Bloom cider!

This place is awesome. They have so many beers and they are all available by the glass or the growler. They will also let you sample them before you order. I tried a coconut one, a chocolate/​coffee one, and the pineapple cider, before deciding on the pineapple cider because it was AMAZING!
The bar is very clean and modern. The tables are also really cool (they appear to be made of some type of refurbished machinery). They have your typical growlers, but also have ones that are shaped like water bottles. They are pricey ($ 35-​$ 50) but they look pretty heavy-​duty, almost like they are covered in truck bed liner, so I imagine they will last forever.
The owners were working the bar and they are great guys! They told us about the business and their beers, how they make an effort to network with other breweries from all over the country, and gave us tips on other breweries to visit in the area. Overall this is a really cool brewery, and it is definitely worth stopping here.

Decent place to get a growler filled or just grab a drink. Stopped in after a visit to Green Dragon, and was actually happier with the prices, lack of crowd, and options (on that particular day).
Beyond that, it’s a pretty simple joint. Didn’t notice what they had for food, and it’s kind of open and plain.

Great selection! Definitely the place to go to get a variety of micros on tap. Decent amount of tables to relax at and chat up over a cold brew. Can’t believe I haven’t been to this place earlier.

Getting a growler of beer has become a favorite of mine. Getting a growler filled at a growler fill station is awesome. At this location the beers are always rotating and it is a great way to try new beers and enjoy favorites. The staff is very knowledgeable about the beers and breweries. They have plenty of space at the bar or tables to sit and sample or watch a game while your there. They have growlers to buy or you can bring your own in also. They have great variety and even have kombucha on tap you can get as well. Best Growler fill joint in town. Fun place!

Awesome selection of beer. The sampler for $ 10 is a must try. I had the coconut beer for the first time there and loved the taste and richness
I am filling my next growler here.

Wow.
Aside from the relative lack of atmosphere (the place is clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but otherwise lacking in ambiance), Growler Guys is one of my dreams come true.
Why, especially when there are other amazing breweries (HOTD, Cascade) right nearby? Well, I’ll tell you.
First of all, sometimes you want a true plethora of choices. When I’m not in the mood to be wedded to just one brewery, I want manymanymany to choose from. Growler Guys delivers on that front, with 40+ taps (including ciders and kombucha) that emphasize local/​regional breweries with a few from farther afield. They have some more unique offerings on tap that I don’t see in the store (yesterday, Hop Valley’s Sir Orange A Lot alongside some of HV’s more ubiquitous IPAs), as well as fantastic beers that I DO see in the store but might want on tap (Fort George’s 3-​Way IPA).
Second (and continuing the choice theme), lots of different types of beers. From IPAs to kolsches to a lone pumpkin beer, and plenty of Imperials in between, there’s something for every drinker. Again, the downside of visiting even a beloved brewery is that you’re stuck in their style. Which can be great, but hey, sometimes freedom needs to reign.
Third, you can bring in your own food. Most breweries are lacking-​to-​sorely-​lacking on the food front, and I usually prefer to eat a little lighter/​more healthily than what even good kitchens serve. For me, the best of both worlds is the Growler Guys setup, where you can drink whatever you want and eat whatever you want. There are plenty of places nearby for take-​out, or you can even have a budget-​friendly beer night and bring food from home.
Fourth, there’s parking in the building lot. LOT PARKING. On Belmont/​Morrison. Clearly this made it easy for lots of folks to park, run in for a fill, and head back out without circling on a Friday night hunting for a space. Awesome!
Fifth, the Guys (no ladies working the counter last night at least) are very friendly. They offer a punchcard (eight fills gets you $ 5 off your next fill), and you can sample the wares before buying. If you want more than a sip, four tasters are $ 10. They’ll even mark them for you, which I really appreciate since it’s easy to get confused about which beer is which — especially if you’re passing them around for more than one person.
Prices are great (got a growler of the aforementioned 3-​Way for $ 13), the selection’s just my type of variety, and the location’s excellent. I’ve been to a few other growler joints in town but this is going to become my regular stop for so many reasons. I’m heading back when they open this morning…

Beer nerds, get yo butts down to the Growler Guys! I’m a huge fan of beer sampling, beer flights, etc. so this place had me jumping for joy when I saw the huge wall with all their beers. We had a flight of four samples for $ 10. Our beer guy helped us figure out what our tastes were and steered us in the right direction.
WTF moment: Unilocal map pin is wrong. This place is close to the Subway on the corner.
