Lift Bridge is growing, and soon will exceed the state s growler cap, meaning it won t be able to sell beer to-go from the taproom because it ll be too big, according to state law.

A bi-partisan effort could bring relief as soon as Monday, especially to Fulton Brewing.

This is kind of the apex of the magic of brewing, said Diley as he showed off a growler. The 64-ounce bottle can hold anyone s favorite beer and can be for sale. But not at Fulton.
