Growler Filling Station
The only constant in the ever changing beer industry is that customers are always looking for new and exciting craft beers. Nick’s, with help from companies near and afar, has installed a state of the art Growler Filling Station based on the same operating principles as bottling lines. We use a blended gas counter pressure system. This state of the art technique forces beer to fill the growler from the bottom up reducing loss due to foam, while keeping the beer as fresh as possible.
While Nick’s carries a wide array of craft beer in bottles and cans, our Growler Filling Station has opened the doors to endless possibilities. Our Growler Filling Station taps are constantly changing with beers that are extremely rare or even limited to draft only. Our list is always changing, so check back with us regularly or you may miss out on that one beer you have been waiting for.

Nepenthe – Phantom Scream
DIPA with a large addition of Citra and Mosaic Incognito and Simcoe cryo in the whirlpool, then dry-hopped heavily with a mix of pellets and cryo from all three strains.

Heavy aromas of passionfruit and peach dance on your palate with grapefruit and white wine tones while the gentle base of 2-row and oats create a perfectly soft mouthfeel.
