A growler station called GS 1221 officially is now open at 1221 Broadway apartment complex. The new bar offers more than 30 taps, and is the first in San Antonio to use the Pegas Craft Tap system, a bottling implement imported from Russia, which allows take-home growlers of craft beer to stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month, according to a press release.

“We want to honor San Antonio’s history by serving local Texas brews and being part of the growing downtown community,” owner Frank Pakuszewski said in the press release.

Hours of operation are 3-9 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, 2-10 p.m. Thursday, noon-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday, noon-7 p.m. Sunday.
