Big Boss Taproom

I decided to get a couple of our growlers filled to enjoy on Saturday night and to bring back home for the holidays.  I called ahead because I was told by the bartender in the taproom my previous visit that they only filled growlers after a certain time.  When I spoke to a representative, they didn't exactly know what I was talking about, but explained that growlers can be filled all day long within the hours of the taproom.  I don't exactly know what DB worked there on my last trip, but it definitely left a bad taste until recently.  

This time I had no problem getting my growlers filled and the bartender was very helpful.  I figured out he was the one I talked to on the phone and took care of business.  I ordered a jug of Cold Turkey and one of Aces and Ates.  While he was manning the taps, I glanced at their selection of glassware and decided to do a little extra holiday shopping.  I got a variety of glasses for no more that $15 bucks and the bartender hooked me up by wrapping them up and putting them in a random bag since I was juggling a lot of glass.  

I decided to try out the Cold Turkey that night since it was a newer make,  It took me a few pints in to truly enjoy it.  It is a hoppy pale ale that it best sipped through the night, otherwise it would be a very rough round of pong.  

Aces and Ates  is a great winter stout that I cracked open on Christmas day after opening presents.  Due to the high gravity, by early afternoon I was reasonably drunk, preparing me for spiked nog and ham.  

With a deposit already paid for the growlers, the Cold Turkey was $10 to fill and the high grav Aces and Ates $15.  

Big Boss remains in my top 3 breweries of the Triangle!

This place just gets better with every visit. i came back out here last night with a friend and had a few beers and played a few games. the place was pretty packed when we got there and Valentino's  food truck had the entire parking lot smelling Oh so good. to keep it short, i really enjoy this place every time i come here and highly recommend  it to anyone who has not yet tried the awesomeness that is Big Boss.

I really enjoyed my low key evening at big boss with my hubs.  Bartenders were super helpful and chatty, no huge crowd meant it felt
Aid back and easy to get around.  Would totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for a comfy place to grab a beer on a Friday evening.  Bathrooms were nice and tidy as well, thanks for that!
