The Growler Blues

[corkybstewart]

I have a friend/employee who has a girlfriend in Colorado, he visits her at least once a month. They visit brewpubs together, and he brings me new and different beer from all over Colorado, always very much appreciated. I've told him I really only want sixers, 750's or occasional bombers if it's special, but I'd really rather have no beer than have growlers. Sometimes he'll bring me as many as 3 growlers. I'm an old man, I have a hard time these days drinking a whole growler at one sitting, right now I'm plowing through a growler of 8.4% Double Pilsner that will end my evening way too early. Just a short selfish rant, y'all carry on.

Yea, if someone brought me several growlers of fresh Colorado beer once a month, I'd be pissed. *******.

One growler a month is ok, not complaining, but I'd rather have 12 oz bottles that I can enjoy a little at a time.
I'm trying to change my beer swilling alcoholic ways as I turn 60, small doses are much better than mass consumption.

You definitely need help.
Drinking the beer, of course!

I get it, man. I was just ribbing you. Feel free to ship me any unwanted growlers.

They'll be flat before they get to you, but that's another issue. He shows up at work Monday with growler(s), I can't get into them before Fridays.

How I read this was "I very much enjoy the fact that I get growlers of good beer but I really would like some help drinking them. " I am relocating to California next week and I would be glad to come help you drink them .

In all seriousness, that is a lot of beer to drink in a sitting multiple nights in a row. Don't get me wrong I enjoy drinking but not that much all the time.
