A plea from East End Brewery

Scott at East End Brewery in Pittsburg sent out this urgent plea for anyone who has a stash of growlers in their pantry:

Good Morning GOOD BEER Fans,

It's a little early for the next monthly newsletter dose here, but
there's something pressing I need to ask of you. I was hoping it
would not come to this. Because of the MASSIVE number of new and
returning faces that came through our door over the last few weeks
(thank you VERY much!), our stock of Growler Jugs that was projected
to last until early February has been entirely depleted. The new
stock won't arrive until next week, so until then, we're completely
out.

Let me say it another way: IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE, AND WE HAVE NO EMPTY
GROWLERS TO PUT BEER INTO!.... Ugh.

So I need to ask you for help: If you have a pantry full of East End
Growlers, even if it's just one or two, and can come out to the
brewery, tonight would be a great night to do it. We will happily
take back any and all EEBC Growlers (and that's only EAST END Growlers
by the way...) and hand you 3 bucks for each one you bring in - even
if somehow you don't need to buy any beer while you're here. I would
appreciate it, and more importantly, your fellow GOOD BEER Fans would
really appreciate it too.

We had to resort to this once before and managed to keep everybody in
beer until the new shipment came in, so hopefully with your help we
can squeak by again... and if we don't, at least we've got 5 beers in
bottles to keep everyone in beer for their End of Year Festivities.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I'll talk to you here in another
week or two, long after this tragedy is over. Otherwise, I'll see you
tonight from 5-7pm!
Cheers,
Scott

$3 for each growler. Damn, wish I didn't live so far away.

Give em a hand if you can.

Good friends don't let friends drink crappy beer.
