just give them growlers.

have y'all seen the ridiculous duane reade that opened on bedford avenue in williamsburg? i won't lie, it was pretty amazing to see such a huge and luxurious drugstore, especially in that neighborhood, but one couldn't help but be insulted by the growler bar that you encounter right when you walk in. anyway:
When Duane Reade opened a new store a few months ago in Brooklyn, it faced opposition from residents loyal to a local pharmacy. So it decided to include something in the store that the neighborhood did not have: a bar that specializes in beer.
The Williamsburg beer bar is part of a larger effort by Duane Reade to recognize — and capitalize — on the fierce identity and local needs of many New York City neighborhoods. (via)
however, the giant walk-in beer fridge was quite appealing.
