The Growler Guys

We all know that southern California and Los Angeles in particular is a car intensive culture.  We measure time and not miles.  We speak fluent highway numbers.  And yet, for a autopia, we have no place that combines filling stations that do both gas and beer.

That is why I fervently hope that the Growler Guys head to LA.  Where are they now?  Bend, Oregon.

Do you want Chimay Tripel while you fill your Camry?  Good Life Sweet as Pacific Hybrid Beer while you top off your Prius?  Or maybe something from Deschutes?

And if that is not enough, read on and be amazed as I was….”When you pull your vehicle up to the pump, an extremely friendly looking person in an old fashioned, white gas attendant’s uniform (hat included) comes running up to your window. All of the attendants are very polite when taking your fueling preferences; they always ask if you would like your tank topped off. While you wait for your tank to be filled, they clean your windshield and actually get every speck of debris off.”

Almost makes you want to move to Bend.
