Growlers (beer) - you're doing it wrong

[Slide Panda]

Ok so I appreciate the thought behind this gizmo...

But really - a growler isn't that much beer, especially if shared. If you're letting it got long enough that a growler goes flat... well you're doing it wrong.

Growlers only last 2 days. If you don't drink that much, don't get a growlers unless you are sharing.


For those of us who see a growlers as a single serving, get a couple of different ones.

Yeah every time i bring home a growler from our local cider joint, it gets finished that night.

If you can't drink a growler yourself in a single session, you're a girl and should stick to fruity drinks.

I'm a girl and I can finish a growler all by myself!  For the record, I do not like fruity drinks.

No, you are a woman.

I'm sure to get ridiculed for this.......but I like it.  

Reasons:

1) A growler is 4 pints IIRC. While I can finish that, I usually have stuff to do the next day...like get up at the ass crack of dawn with a 4 year old. He and I enjoy the morning better if I don't have a hang over   ....which leads into point 2

2) Getting old sucks. Any more than 2 pints and I don't sleep well, and I am at risk for a hangover. Getting old sucks, as 2 pints used to be what I'd drink before getting ready to go out.    Did I mention that getting old sucks?

3) I still like Growlers though...there's a local place a few blocks from my house that has 34 beers on tap...about 90% of them odd ones that you never see anywhere. They might have bottle versions as well....but tap beer tastes better.


SO THERE!!

Interesting idea, didn't catch the price. A .50 cent (reusable) poly cap or a flip-top growler will get you three days. If you aren't going to drink 4 pints in three days, I'd say skip the growler.

Plus, they're using a basic CO2 inflator, same as I use for cycling. Once the CO2 cartridge is punctured, it's only good for a few days max. The cartridge seal isn't that great.
