How progressive is NY? First gay marriage, now tap handles at gas stations\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Sunoco<\/strong> just announced that several of their APlus<\/em><\/strong> stores in Western New York<\/strong> will now offer glass growler refills of craft beer in a test of what they’re calling The Craft Beer Exchange<\/strong>.\u00a0The chain now has 14 taps at 11 of its 17 stores. At any given time, consumers have their choice of up to 132 different microbrews including\u00a0Wailing Wench<\/em> from Syracuse<\/strong>‘s Middle Ages Brewing Co<\/a> and\u00a0Rusty Chain<\/em> from\u00a0Buffalo<\/strong>‘s Flying Bison<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only is using growlers a more eco-responsible way to go from a reusability perspective, but it also makes more efficient use of your gas by eliminating one less driving destination. Nice, NY!\u00a0Full Story<\/a> (via BeerNews<\/a>)<\/p>\n
