Gas station growler fills

majorvices:
The growler to go gig is big business here in Alabama. Lots of places are doing it.

Rhoobarb:
It has really begun to take off in the last year here in Georgia.

It probably wouldn't fly under Iowa law.  Law enforcement here fights brew-pubs selling growlers.  The pubs can't even sell their own beer in growlers without having a distributor pick it up and redeliver it back to the pub.  It might be a good little money maker if you could get a license though.

Yeah, and I think in many states only producers can sell growlers, not retailers.

You are correct. In Michigan, only Brewpubs and MicroBrewery licenses can fill growlers. The largest brewery in the state, Bells, can't fill growlers as they have a Brewers license (over 60k barrrels). That is moot for them, as Larry Bell did not sell growlers before they grew into the Brewers license.

Here Dogfish sells growlers at the pub but not the brewery (don't know if that is law or choice). Fordham, a smaller brewery, cannot sell any beer on-site due to partial ownership by AB, which technically puts them over the limit.
