Ha! yes, that was my understanding, just glad I get to use 3 tokens.

My first fill of JW Sweetman porter sat for two weeks at room temperature and was still daisy-fresh when opened.

I'm not sure I understand how a growler flushed with co2 is much of a benefit to one filled with a tap&tube. Surely once it's filled there would be little to no oxygen in a growler, especially with co2 from the beer pushing most of the oxygen out. Until it's opened of course, which means that a co2 flushed growler would also be back to square 1 once a glass has been poured?
Fill stations are still great, I just always thought the co2 flush was more of a gimmick with minimal benefit for those who plan to open it sooner than later.
Unless there's another better reason for it I'm not aware of?

Your results may vary...

Whats the advantage of buying in a growler?
Is it nicer than drinking bottles?
Is it cheaper?

The main one is being able to bring home a beer that isn't available packaged.
