It is always interesting to visit small businesses in Dartford and it was good to go to The Growler Stop in Westgate House, Dartford (The old Avis Car Rental).
This tap room and off licence was established in 2021 and has a wide range of premium quality craft beer for people to drink in the pub or fill growlers to take home. A growler, for those that don't know, is a jug used to transport draft beer. According to this establishment, the growler system removes all the oxygen from the growler and replaces it with CO2 so that the beer transfers from the keg to the growler naturally, without foaming or creating a head. Keeping oxygen away from your beer ensures it tastes great and will keep its freshness for at least a week.
This is a really welcoming place, with lots of seating, indoors and outside and is popular with families. It doesn’t serve food but has a number of food trucks which park outside and customers can also order from the takeaways nearby and eat inside.
In the summer, there is live music in the outdoor area.
