At their brewery they have the most awesome signs I've ever seen: 15 minute parking for growler fills.Exactly. I used to have a growler but left it behind when I left that state-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned but where Stone is located. I don't see much of an advantage to filling a growler from a keg in a beer store. Filling a growler from the freshest batch at one's local brewery is the whole point. Well, maybe the change in the DoR regulations is the first step. That's GA for ya--baby steps.

Good for little parties when a keg is overkill.The assumption is that the same beer isn't available in bottles? May or may not be true. Growlers are fun, but they do lose carbonation and are kind of unwieldy. If the same beer is available in bottles, I'd rather bring bottles to a party.Growlers are useful with breweries/brewpubs that sell kegs/draft only and don't have a bottling line.
Has anyone checked with our several beerpubs to see if they will be filling growlers? Huh ?
. . .Hop City says they will mainly carry stuff you can't get in a bottle.

Here is an inexpensive way to ride the growler train.

In the Delta concourse in PDX there is a Rogue Tavern that sells growlers of several of their beers (growler of Double Dead Guy anyone?). One beer from Delta and a growlers worth make quite the enjoyable flight.
Some of the neat growlers that they are showing in Beer Advocate magazine are pretty snazzy, is there any word if they will only refill their own growlers ?...
