My other Depot Street growler is currently filled with, ah-hem, a clear 152-proof spirit that has been distilled rather than brewed - another thing we do well in the south.[;)]

I wouldn't say the South is backwards...they're just running the race in reverse.

I'd love to reuse some of the containers and jars that I have to throw away because I don't pay a deposit on them (the recycling at the dump won't take them). If I could go in with an old mason jar or a jug of some sort, that would be divine like Greek wine. Or even a growler that just sits in my cupboard collecting dust like sleepless rust.

That's because we can drive better in reverse than the rest of the country can in Drive, Overdrive, First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth gears.[:D][^]

I'm pretty sure the Wisc beer laws state that it's ok to refill one brewery's beer in a different brewery's growler. But I've been to a few that say you're not supposed to do that. Who the heck cares, it's just glass, man. I do know in MinniSOTA, they're strict on that deal. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Don't be picky. Use a milk jug, a sombrewro, a mason jar, fanny pack, whateva. Just give me my beer and don't put preservatives in it, dammit!

So, in the South, it's okay to fill up milk gallons, Pepsi liter bottles, shampoo bottles, etc. with beer...but it's not okay to make anything over 6% for fear of getting young'uns drunk. [B)]

Two words: Jack Daniels

Thankfully in Alabama we can go up to 13% on beer... no limit on moonshine... see previous post.[;)]

Recently heard that Three Floyd's has a stupid greedy policy. Not only will they refuse to fill a growler that isn't theirs, they will not refill their own growler! Apparently you must buy a new Three Floyd growler every time. That is petty in my book.

I sure hope that last part is just a rumor, cuz it's just plain stupid!

Wouldn't surprise me. Been years since I went, but every time I went someone on staff was rude for no reason. Also, have met their employees in other settings, same thing, a really bad attitude. After several experiences like that I stopped buying their way too pricey beers. I have had an occasional rude employee here and there, but it is systematic at 3F's. Most beer people you meet are really cool, but the few bad apples are VERY memorable.
