Jamie and Lyndsay Taylor, owners of Sips on the Square, met with Troy City Council to gauge interest in allowing draft beer service in Troy. “Really, we just want your opinions, if it is worth pursuing … if it isn’t, then we will not bring it up ‘till, obviously, it’s with your backing,” said Lyndsay Taylor during the council’s work session Tuesday. The Taylors cited costs and the impact on the environment (kegs can be recycled) as reasons for getting draft beer service in Troy. “Really, one of our huge reasons behind wanting to pursue it was variety. There’s a huge variety that we can’t get,” added Lyndsay Taylor. “As far as costs go, we’re paying for the bottles and what’s in it.” Jamie Taylor said he and his wife had done a lot of research on the subject, seeking the opposing arguments and any obstacles. The only one they saw was regarding off-premise sales. He assured the council that he would not sell kegs from his restaurant. “We don’t wanna see teenagers dragging kegs to their dorm rooms,” he said. Councilman Marcus Paramore said his constituents are in favor of draft beer service in Troy. “When I campaigned for this office over half of the people I talked to brought up draft beer,” he said. In the research he had done, Paramore had found that draft beer service had to be a legislative act. Councilman John Witherington spoke to Representative Alan Boothe and Senator Bryan Taylor. “They’ve indicated there’s time for that to happen and were willing to consider it,” he said.
