i only did 2 bucks and after leaving i felt bad it was clearly 3 or so. ill make it up next time. they were totally friendly there too, which is saying something as portland people can be a bit too hip to be cool sometimes.
it depends on the place. if their growler fills are very reasonably priced, I will go upwards of $5. however if they are over-priced or providing ass for service, i might clearly even tip at all. last time i got a growler fill, the bar-back offered to fill me a growler of something that was clearly suppose to be an option so he got an automatic 10 spot. chances are, next time I am there he will do the same thing with expectations of what my reaction will be and I am cool with that
today i am going to selinsgrove brewery and they are pretty much my favorite "local" place. they are pretty strict as of late with what they will fill growlers of because the batch sizes are so small and they need to have enough to maintain on-site consumption options. depending on who the person working the bar is, they sometimes will allow me to fill some 1-liters instead of 2-liters which makes me very happy. id rather have 2x 1-liters to open up at different times then be stuck to have to finish a 2-liter after opening it. in that instance, its an automatic $5 unless something happens to influence me one way or the other
