I was wondering how common it is for a brew pub to fill a corny for ya. LB in hays kansas filled myne up and just charged me the regular 5 gallon price. They also sell regualr 1/6th 1/4 and 1/2 barrels. I had to lend them my disconnects though.
Not too common, and for a reason... its pretty much illegal. At least in California where the law says you cant even fill a growler from a different place. Luckily most brewers are homebrewers and hook it up anyway. They also save money because there is no cost incurred for cleaning, and no risk in losing a keg.
America's Brewing Company in Aurora, IL will fill a corny while you wait for $35 + tax. If your keg is dirty they will clean and sanitize as part of the deal but that takes 45 min otherwise if you bring it in ready to go, you're in and out in 10 - 15 min.
The one around me will, but not from a tap. You gotta drop off your corny, and wait for the next time the brewer kegs that particular beer that you want. He'll then keg your corny with the rest of the lot and you go pick it up. It's fresh at least

1 out of 3 brewpubs here in Santa Fe will fill my Corny's. I bring the keg in sanitized and pick it up 24 hours later cold and carbonated. Usually runs about $65 after tax and tip.

Breworks in Lehigh Valley said they would do it for their standard 5 gallon price ($80 for their flagship beers, possibly more for seasonals). They use sanke connection cornies for some of their brews. The price made me feel better about my brews. Growler fills are $8.
Brew pubs filling corny kegs?
