WTH Georgetown Brewing?

More incentive to drink it faster?

In Cali, you can only fill a breweries growler with a breweries beer. That'd be fun

 

I don't think clear growlers are that big of a deal. How long are you sitting on a growler before you drink it anyways? A few days? And hopefully it's being stored in your fridge where it's dark 99% of the time anyways.

With that being said, I prefer brown growlers, they just look better to me.

 

Drinking their beer is punishment enough.

 

You should have lectured them on poor customer service and lame ass rules.

 

Besides. The light goes out in the beer fridge when you close the door. . . I think.

 

No, it doesn't. I found out the hard way.

 

My beer fridge doesn't have a light. Problem solved.

Spoiler

Beer fridge is my old college mini-fridge from 2000.

 

Most of my growler fills in Spokane cost more than Georgetown's WITH the $2 "penalty" included. I'd just pay it and be happy to have scored a growler fill under $14-15.

 

Or you can just remove the light bulb from your fridge. That way curiosity won't get the best of you.

 

Fremont uses clear growlers for brewery fills because we have NEVER had skunking issues although we understand the concern. Our growlers are counter-pressure filled and put in the UV resistant fridge immediately. Yes, we test our beers. Our amber growlers are sold to grocery and bottle shops because we don't control the storage and they usually get exposed to UV light. Besides, the clear growlers make it easy to judge how much is left and look cool. More importantly, no negative effect on our beer has ever been detected. Let me know if you have a skunked beer from our clear growlers and we can talk.

Georgetown has their policy in place because (if I may speak for Manny et al) they sell a lot of growlers and found their policy is fair for the largest amount of their customers. We also sell a ton of growlers but choose to ask our customers to chill while we get to your fill. Different styles. But give some love to Georgetown for the amazing beer and loyal contributions to our community and to our beer culture. If you want a Georgetown growler for free, come by the brewery and ask for Matt. I have a ton of them (thanks guys!!). While you may disagree with their policy, don't harsh on Georgetown; they are an amazing brewery and give endlessly to our community.

 

I'm very fond of my brown Fremont growler from when you guys first opened. So much so that I never bring it in to get filled because I'm afraid you guys will take it from me and swap it out for a clear one.

 

Guy comes home to an empty house. Wife nowhere around. He finally sees a note on the refrigerator door that reads:
"I can't take it anymore! It's not working! I've gone to my sisters!"

Guy opens refrigerator door. Light goes on. Beer is cold. Thinks to himself "What's not working?"
