Growlers – a fun an eco-friendly way to purchase beer

For beer lovers, there are few things more enjoyable than a freshly poured, cold beer. And while there are countless ways to enjoy your favorite brew, one option that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of a growler.

A growler is a container, typically made of glass or stainless steel, used to transport beer from a brewery or taproom to your home or other desired location. While some may argue that a six-pack of beer is more convenient, there are several benefits to choosing a growler instead.

Fresh Beer

First and foremost, a growler allows you to enjoy the freshest possible beer. Unlike bottled or canned beer, which can sit on store shelves for weeks or even months, beer in a growler is often filled right from the tap at the brewery. This means that the beer has not been exposed to oxygen, light, or other factors that can affect its flavor and quality.

Trying new flavors

Another benefit of a growler is that it allows you to try a wider variety of beers. Instead of committing to a six-pack or even a single bottle, you can fill a growler with a smaller quantity of a beer you’ve never tried before. This way, you can sample new flavors and styles without having to commit to a larger quantity.

Eco-Friendly

In addition to the freshness and variety of beer, a growler can also be more environmentally friendly. Instead of buying multiple bottles or cans, which require energy and resources to produce and transport, you can reuse your growler multiple times. This can help reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Social Experience

Finally, filling a growler can also be a fun and social experience. Many breweries and taprooms offer the option to fill growlers on-site, which can allow you to chat with the brewers, learn more about the beer-making process, and connect with other beer enthusiasts. And once you bring your growler home, you can share your freshly filled brews with friends and family.
