4. the local brewery sells gallons of beer (growler) refills for 15$

they are open every thursday- saturday and I have to space my drinking to accomodate the days when I can get a refill.

2. that's what you get for not using the metric system

a liter is 1,000 cubic centimeters. 1,000!!!

5. But the British system is so much fun!

They're always dealing in measurements that sound like they're from Alice in Wonderland
Growlers
Fortnights
Stones
Pence

6. Farthings, shillings, hogsheads, barleycorns, drams...

7. But what did you refill it with?

And where is this fine, upstanding establishment?

8. Mad Manatee IPA from Bold City Brewery in Jax Fl

it's very decent.....as evident from the gallon of it I've drank since yesterday

9. Do they have a dark beer to go with the snow you're going to get?

10. Duke's Cold Nose Brown Ale

and we are not supposed to get anything here in Jax

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Perfect!

But the weather service says you'll be getting some...It just won't stick. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Jacksonville&state=FL&site=JAX&textField1=30.331&textField2=-81.656&e=1

12. nah, we're kewl. too close to the river for snow

we always stay a few degrees warmer than the airport.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Well enjoy a cold one, then...

[Taverner]

14. YUM!!!!

Gallons of beer, oh my!

15. The husband washed out our growler and put it on the counter.

I think it's a subtle hint that I'm supposed to get it filled for valentine's day. :)
