The simple pleasures of beering locally. I'm older now, and simple beer pleasures are the most meaningful to me. They tend to be encountered locally. It is my aim to get unplugged and explore some of them, slowly and thoughtfully. I'd tell you where it's leading, except that I've no idea ... and that's the whole point of the journey: To find out.

Circle K auditions the PEGAS growler filler.
Two Circle K locations in Louisville recently began experimenting with local craft beer growler filling stations. It is said to be a test. The growlers are filled with the use of gizmos from these folks: PEGAS draft beer equipment. It's a Russian company, interestingly enough.
Growler fill stations like this one are not legal in the state of Indiana. A bill was introduced during this year's legislative session to create a class of permit allowing package stores to fill growlers; although I'm not positive, I think the bill did not emerge from committee.
They must have a heck of a sales team. The Party Source has put one of these systems in the Ei8ht Ball Brewery taproom. I haven't talked to them to see how it'w working out for them. The theory is nice.
