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.
Black Flag – Midnight Pumpkins
This pumpkin milk coffee stout uses Zeke’s Indian Monsoon Malabar coffee beans to give a full bodied yet low acidity texture to the natural malt built of the stout. Temperate coffee richness couples with dark malt roast to give a boisterous body to the sweet pumpkin notes.

Southern Tier 2 X-Mas
2XMAS ale combines traditional brewing ingredients with figs, orange peels, cardamom, cinnamon, clove and ginger root. It’s a holiday addition to the 2X line and another reason to toast to the season, but unlike Glögg, we recommend serving this one chilled.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout – Bourbon County Stout
Other variants have come and gone, but the standard Bourbon County is fairly consistent. It is blended using bourbon barrels from the likes of Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace.
Flavor:
There’s a pleasant dark chocolate thing going on with Bourbon County that makes it an ideal base beer for other variants. Hints of vanilla and barrel oak don’t hurt either.
Goose Island finished Bourbon County Stout with honeycomb-shaped cherry wood. It’s a process they’ve never attempted before.
- 14% ABV
- Chicago, IL
Goose Island Bourbon County Cherry Wood Stout-Bourbon County Cherry Wood Stout
Goose Island finished Bourbon County Stout with honeycomb-shaped cherry wood. It’s a process they’ve never attempted before.
Flavor:
The use of cherry wood instead of real cherries provides more subtle hints of cherry flavor and avoids an overpowering fruit taste – thankfully, there’s no chocolate-covered cherry happening here. Caramel and dark chocolate sweetness round out the flavor.
- 14.2% ABV
- Chicago, IL
