Lazy Dog Macon to open next weekend

Just stopped in Lazy Dog Growler Macon to see their nearly finished space.  If you follow them on Facebook or Twitter then you already know it's looking very nice.  Just shy of an official announcement, it sounds like the target date for the grand opening will be next weekend, around September 13.  The new space is on the first floor of the Armory building, right under the turret, and features beautiful historic hardwood and terrazzo floors.

Lazy Dog Growler's Macon location will boast the most taps of any bar in Macon, with well over 60 taps of craft beer ready for you to drink in house or to take home in 32 or 64oz growlers.  The new location will showcase new growler artwork that commemorates their new store in the historic Macon Armory building.  Here are a few pictures of what's to come.

Macon Bibb approves on-site consumption at growler stores

Late this spring, Macon Bibb passed an ordinance to allow for growler stores to sell draft beer in to-go containers.  Growler Spot was the first to capitalize on this new law and opened shortly after.  Lazy Dog is in the process of opening their second location, and first in Macon Bibb, this fall.  Yesterday, growler shops were treated to a second important piece of legislation.  On-premises consumption is now allowed in Macon Bibb with the appropriate license.  Once Growler Spot has their license approved, you'll be able to enjoy beer flights and pints at their store.  Lazy Dog is expected to open with both on and off-premises licenses in place.

2014 is shaping up to be the year of the growler in Macon!

Growler Spot Grand Opening Today


Growler Spot is having their Grand Opening today.  I know what you're thinking, "Haven't they been open for a few weeks?" and you would be right.  But this is the GRAND opening.  You know, complete with scissors and ribbon.

Growler Spot will be open at noon, and the ribbon cutting will take place at 4.  Bottles of Westbrook's Mexican Cake and Founders Devil Dancer will be for sale, as well as growler fills of  Devil Dancer, Macon Love and Clown Shoes Space Cake Double IPA.  I hear there will be free gifts too.  The Mexican Cake alone makes it worth a stop by on your lunch break!

Growler Spot is located next to Carriage Hills Bottle Shoppe on Northside Dr.

Lazy Dog Growler Announces Macon Expansion




Shortly after their 1st anniversary, Lazy Dog Growler has announced they are expanding to downtown Macon. They have secured the corner storefront in the Armory building at 484 First Street and plan to open in September. No word yet on whether they will be able to offer pints in addition to growlers, as they recently started in Warner Robins.  The new Macon location is planned to have an expanded tap list and bottle selection.

Lazy Dog Turns One!

That's 7 in dog years.

Warner Robins' favorite, Lazy Dog Growler, has had a very impressive year.  What started out as a bare-bones growler shop, now boasts one of the area's largest bottled beer selections and an on-premises pub.  Customers are able to purchase beer by the pint, 32oz or 64oz growler.  Although they'll fill almost any container with a standard size and adjust the per ounce price to the jug.  I'm thinking of those 1L or 2L European growlers, and not milk jugs, but who am I to tell you what to do.


In a very appropriate move, Lazy Dog chose to fill their draft lines with Georgia-brewed beer on Saturday.  Strawn, O'Dempsey's, Jailhouse, Red Brick, Terrapin, Sweetwater, Three Taverns, Macon, Grumpy Old Men, Eventide, Coast Empire and Wild Heaven were all on tap and many brewery representatives were on site to answer questions.  Everything from fruity summer beers to hop-forward IPAs to high alcohol Belgian quads were available, guaranteeing something for every palate.


The first 100 customers received free pint glasses, and the line extended down the storefront before they were even open.  Those glasses went fast, but Lazy Dog had plenty more for those that stuck around later.  Their new summer hours are in effect, which means you can stop in as late as 10PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Congratulations on your first year, Lazy Dog, and on being Middle Georgia's first growler store!  May you have many more years of success.

Judging from their online tap list, many of these beers are still flowing.  Stop by Lazy Dog this weekend for your Georgia-brewed hook up!

Growler Spot is now open!



Growler Spot is officially open!

Growler shops have been a huge success in Middle GA.  Lazy Dog Growler opened up just about a year ago and has already expanded to offer pints and wine on tap, as well as an increased bottle selection.  Growler Spot, the sister store to Carriage Hills, is set to bring the party north to Macon.  The initial tap lineup includes Georgia-based breweries Macon, Wrecking Bar, Jailhouse, Grumpy Old Men, Three Taverns, Coastal Empire and Strawn.

The shop is open this week and the grand opening is set for May 23.
