I'm from UT. I thought our laws were somewhat restrictive. I've been able to go to any brewery or craft pub and refill whatever growler I had. No one has ever questioned the name on the bottle. I do believe that our brew culture looks out for itself, and if you go somewhere to fill a growler, they care more about the fact that you want to drink fresh craft beer than where you bought the piece of glass that contains it.
Breweries filling only "their" growlers, what's up with that?

I went to Brueprint brewery in Apex this weekend and they said they will fill any growler as long as it is clean too. http://www.brueprint.com/
I like their "Brue Diamond IPA".
There's a growler filling station in a local convenience store about a half mile from my house here in north-west Georgia. They rinse out the growlers on the spot and refill them. I don't think they care who's growler it is, but they sell empties if you want to buy one.
Their scotch ale is about all I liked and that was solid. Their IPA was the worst IPA I had tried in a while. This was right when they opened though so perhaps it has improved/changed. I like the place, but their beers just didn't draw me back. I took a 64 and 32 ounce growler home of their scotch ale and haven't returned since unfortunately.
