| I'm in Topeka for a couple days. Is there anywhere here to get a growler or two of micros to take back with me? |

Unfortunately the answer is not really... Blind Tiger has a few brews in Topeka but it is a restaurant/brewery and the beers are not that great.
If you are coming from / heading back to Nebraska you could stop by Free State Brewery in Lawrence and grab a growler of copperhead pale ale. I would recommend stopping by Tallgrass Brewery in Manhattan instead (if you can't do both) as they have a better selection of great microbrews. If you like IPA's or APA's grab a growler of Ethos and 8-bit, you will like one of them I'm sure. Velvet rooster is a good 8.5% ABV belgian tripel if you like that style. If you like dark beers Buffalo Sweat is a good oatmeal stout. Their website says they are open from 3-6pm today (Friday Jan 17) if you wanted to pickup a growler or two at the brewery.

| Next time you're down this way you'll have to stop by Manhattan and get a growler from Little Apple Brew in town, they have decent beer and have food as well. Or if it's a Friday afternoon you can stop by the local microbrew and have a growler filled at Tallgrass, they really have some good beer! |

+1 on Blind Tiger. I dont' get there very often but it's good food and great beer.
Free State brewery in Lawrence is pretty good, too. If you want a dinner and a show, eat there then take a walk up and down Massachusetts street and peoplewatch all the Moonbats. Wave hi to the "Honk for Hemp" guy for me... |
