[THC] Root Beer Growlers

[KENNETH KAVANAGH]

Hey,
    Last year I showed up with a LBC growler to get filled and they would 
not do so because most of the label had deteriorated ( although, LBC id 
could still be distinguished), so I left aftyer the pint with nothing for 
home.  Isn't there a better way to mark these things - if I'm buying the 
bottle for reuse?
