Nice! Wish it would migrate to FL. I did see a sign at the Texaco gas pump the other day that said "We now have craft beer inside".  So there's some progress.   Not on tap though.

Unless they let you bring a milk jug, you've paid for the packaging.  I suppose it's reusable so the amortized cost is minimal but you definitely pay for the packaging.

True, you also pay for the growler. But what I meant was that growler fills are more expensive than bottled beer on a $/oz comparison - at least at almost every brewery I've been to.
