I've been working the phone and Cold Garden and Last Best are maybes and Oak & Vine will do it, but everyone else I can think of is a hard no.

Also, if you've filled a corny keg from a commercial brewer before, any tips on doing it? Pre-flush the keg with CO2, use an extra long growler fill hose and hope for the best?
I haven't had one filled at a commercial brewery before but have a 10gal SS brite tank that I fill 5gal ball lock kegs with. The best way would be a pressurized transfer. Fill from the "out" port on the keg, with the PRV stuck open. Same steps with the keg to clean, sani, flush with co2.

Cold Garden are great guys so hopefully you end up getting them to hook you up and the Last Best IPA is one of my favorites.
