You know what's better than getting a few beers for $10? Getting a few beers and a snazzy glass for $10.
I'm fairly certain they teach you this in any standard personal finance course.
That's why we -- particularly those of us who don't have nice, adult collections of glassware -- are fans of "keep the glass" nights at breweries.
As far as we can tell, there are a handful of regular such nights in Denver. But there must be more, right? If you know of any, please tell us at [email protected] and we'll add them to the list. If you'd a reward for your good financial sense, please call your mom.
