THE ORIGINAL GROWLER GUYS COMING TO IDAHO

A couple of years ago I wrote a story about my first experience at a Growler Fill Station.  It was The Growler Guys East Side Bend Oregon Growler Station where I filled 2 growlers with Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA for $9.99 per growler before heading back to Boise with my Bend Ale Trail Silipints in hand.

Upon my return to the Boise Area, I told everyone about my experience at the Growler Fill Station and how I wish we had Growler Fill Stations in the Treasure Valley.   One of my friends in the Snake River Brewers Club told that a Growler Station would be opening in Boise and it would be called the PreFunk Grower Fill Station.  Well since then, it seems like everyone has a Growler Station.

But now the guys that started it all are actually coming to Idaho.  And they are looking for Staff Members to work at their Meridian Location: Craigs List.

Here are some details provided by Boise Beer Buddies:

I assume that their staffing for their Meridian Station is complete, but the good news is that they are also opening a Boise Location..
