    Malt beverages may be sold in growlers. The filling or refilling of growlers by means of a tapped keg shall not constitute a violation of this Section or the breaking of a package as contemplated by O.C.G.A. § 3-3-26. Growlers may only be filled by a licensee or an employee of a licensee with a malt beverage from a keg which keg was procured by the licensee from a duly licensed wholesaler. Prior to the actual sale, any malt beverage placed in a growler shall be securely sealed by the licensee or an employee of a licensee in such a manner as to make it visibly apparent if the container has been subsequently opened or tampered with.
