I'm beginning to see the "problem" my wife speaks of
I don' see any spilt beer and that is the only "problem" I would see......
My problem is I can't keep it in the house for more than a few days. It's like a revolving door
No a problem. Like cigars, just buy more than you consume I'm sure the wife won't see a "problem" with you trying to be environmentally sound with your recycling efforts. Not too many people recycle so you'e just doing your civic duty by keeping the recyclable bottles out of their irresponsible hands.
I have a growler collection. I gave up on bombers about a year ago.
I've been keeping the growlers to refill. Are they like a propane tank? Turn your empty in, take a new filled one and only pay for the new contents? Or do I have to wash mine because it's the one being filled?
I'm not looking to keep the smaller stuff. But I figure those bomber bottles can't be cheap to produce. Surely there's some kind of recycle value
I wash and reuse, unless they have a new one I don't have yet.
As for recycling, it takes so much glass to make anything worthwhile, that I've never had the room to bother.

I picked up 4 packs of Barrel Aged Victory At sea, Bells Whiskey barrel cherry stout and the Summit Union Imperial Russian Stout

I had that problem too. Then I started buying 2 of each bomber I wanted, and stopped buying anything under 10%. Drink one of each, or sometimes just one; switch to scotch and instead of tossing the two remaining in the fridge for consumption, go back to store and buy at least 4 more. Nothing under 10% makes it easier to build stock, it also provides the desired affect faster and believe it or not cheaper.

Got home late and jumped straight on the vherf without posting up yesterday's haul 12 oz bottles Bombers (I couldn't wait on the bunny) 12 oz cans (I tore into the brunette on the vherf and it's mighty tasty)
A close friend, beekeeper and off the forum BOTL has been making mead for quite some time and has gifted me a bottle of his finest.
I wish to consume it in a manner that leads to a positive experience but I don't know what I'm doing. Is it as simple as pour it in any receptacle and chug away?

While singing songs to Valhala if at all possible.

@Captain_Call; are you familiar with mead? have you ever drank mead before?
mead is a honeywine so it'll drink more like a wine as opposed to a beer. i normally drink it in a rocks glass, tulip glass, or stemless wine glass.
i prefer most meads at room temperature, but have found some types can be better chilled (either in the fridge or simply with an ice cube or whiskey stone).
it's likely a higher ABV (probably mid-teens) so you'll probably want to sip it.
and if you don't drink it all at once, it will stay good at room temperature for a couple months after opening it. just use a wine stopper to re-seal the bottle.
also, enjoy that. you need about 3 lbs of honey for 1 gallon of mead. that's why it's so $$$$
Thanks @jgibv. This is my first mead. My knowledge of it ends at honey wine. The container and temperature were what I was curious about. I suppose I was pretty vague.
The maker says it's tweaked with wild plums and he has never proofed it out but it is weak as mead is concerned. He chills his so I will likely do the same

@Captain_Call ; haha ok, you're on the right track then.
most of the mead's i've had are very SWEET!!! so a small pour is about all i can handle before switching to something else. there's no real wrong way to drink it IMO.
