You may remember a few months ago when local beer store D’Vines started selling growlers of beer — that is, you choose a keg of fresh beer and they pour you a bunch in a large, resealable bottle. It was a neat idea, but unfortunately, was illegal due to the city’s (I would argue antiquated) alcohol laws.
However, it looks like sweet, sudsy relief is around the corner: Ward 6 councilman Tommy Wells introduced legislation to allow growlers. I don’t see who would be opposed to this. To me, any worry about being buying them to loiter and get drunk is kind of silly — who buys fancy pale ale or stout to get drunk outside when they can buy much cheaper stuff?
