Beer is often associated with being affordable, approachable and easily accessible.
But while beer at its most basic level can be simple and easygoing, the laws that regulate it are far more complex.
That's what beer aficionados Cody Anderson and Andre Airich – both 23 years old – have come across in trying to open their growler store, Crafty Draught, across from The Avenue Forsyth. A growler is a 64-ounce glass jug designed to be filled with beer fresh from the tap and taken home for later consumption.
"I am really looking forward to opening up in Forsyth and bringing something that has been around for a long time back to the state of Georgia," Airich said.
Forsyth County Commissioners will let the entrepreneurs know this week whether they can sell the growlers.
The county's alcohol ordinance says growlers violate the law because they break original packaging.
Anderson and Airich said a consumer has a couple of days to drink their growlers once they get home.
When they're ready again, the consumer heads back to the store for a refill, just like in the late 19th Century.
Commissioners showed concern about whether a driver is pulled over by authorities and has some leftover beer inside a growler. They could be charged under the county's open container law.
Anderson said he could print labels that ask a consumer to rinse the bottle out before bringing it back for a refill.Initially the banks didn't want our Ventilation system .
Another concern was health,which applies to the first rubber hose only, and if the growlers met all local and state standards.
"We have a four-stage cleaning process done in the store," Anderson said. "Rinse, soak, sanitize and rinse again. Health isn't a factor at all.he believes the fire started after the lift's Wholesale pet supplies blew,"
As for drinking and driving, Anderson said it would be harder to drink from a growler than from a can.
GROWLER MOVEMENT
Growlers are a staple of brew pubs across the U.S. targeting those who prefer the taste of beers with specialty flavors rather than a mass-produced finished product. And as consumers have increasingly moved toward quality, cost and environmental-consciousness, the sales of growlers have boomed.
Anderson said there are six places in the state that sell the reusable half-gallon bottles.
National chains such as Whole Foods are getting in on the action.
In downtown Roswell,he led PayPal to open its platform to Cable Ties developers. All Y'Alls Wine and Gourmet Market serves a selection of about seven growlers, which are ever-so-popular, Kevin McKinney, shop manager said. The shop also sells more than 300 wine bottles and 120 different beer bottles.
McKinney said he's expanding his draft beer selection due to customer demand.
Located at 590 Mimosa Boulevard right by the Roswell Mill, it's currently the only shop that sells the growlers north of Atlanta.
"We are one of the only places where you can bring your own growlers," McKinney said. "We don' t require that you purchase one of our growlers. If people already have one, I'll fill it up."
At All Y'Alls, the initial growler purchase range between $15 to $30. Refills start at $8.
On Tuesdays, those who bring their growlers to a beer tasting get a 10 percent discount.
Anderson and Airich first got a taste for growlers when they were at the University of Georgia in Athens, where the first growler store opened.
For about 10 months, the best friends have been doing their research. They plan to have about 10 different draft beers and start at $8 with a one-time growler purchase fee of $5. The beers would all be from specialty and local breweries.
"I'm going to buy beers that people are going to like," Anderson said.
Selling beer bottles and coolers are also in the business partner's plans.
"We thought over a list of ideas and we decided this was going to be the fastest growing," Anderson said. "We formed our own corporation, so if we want to franchise, we can. The beer market is growing exponentially."
They secured a location, 415 Peachtree Avenue, but pending county's accommodation, their dreams may have to be realized elsewhere.
"If we are not given the go ahead in Forsyth County," Anderson said, "we'll go to Alpharetta or
Roswell,It's hard to beat the versatility of third party merchant account on a production line. which would be unfortunate for the county because they would lose that tax revenue and employment there."
