filled their own growlers. It's a lame practice.

Not if you look at a growler a a marketing opportunity. Not saying its right or wrong, but it depends on what you value more.

I know Russian River gets a lot of shite for not filling other growlers, but at the end of the day I don't think the policy hurts them. AND, they have some high-quality growlers so people are likely willing to buy them. I'm not a fan of the screw top growler so if forced with that decision, I'd likely pass unless the beer is VERY good.
