Will you fill your growler at Fred Meyer?

I received a tweet from my better half the other day stating:

"Maybe @eyeluvbeer will actually go grocery shopping with me. @FredMeyerInc Hollywood rocks!"

I will say I was quite impressed with the picture of the growler (64oz.)/growlette (32oz) fill station, and I agree with the above statement that the Hollywood store rocks although I’ve only been in about a dozen times. Now that you have growler/growlette fills I may make a 13th appearance at some point, but I’m more likely to hit up my local bottle shop or brewery for a fill. You see, I was born with a genetic predisposition to shopping; I hate it.  Fred Meyer, you could be giving away free craft beer to the masses, but that wouldn’t lure me in. Your parking lot, the size of your store and the isles typically filled with dazed, zombie-like shoppers with no apparent mission all initiate my anxiety and test my already limited patience. If you’re unlike me, and love shopping at a ~150,000 sq.ft. store, I highly recommend making a pit stop on your one-stop shopping adventure for a 32 or 64 ounce fill. The 16 taps of beer and cider at the Hollywood Fred Meyer look amazing. You can also find fill stations at their Burlingame and Hawthorne locations. Congratulations guys on the new addition! The late, great Fred G. Meyer would be proud!
