In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Whether you just getting into craft beer, or are an old pro on the scene, you’ll need the best beer growler to keep all your brews in. Growlers can help you get those special beers that are only on tap at the brewery or in certain places and share them with your friends or keep them all for yourself. Many breweries and taprooms, however, use disposable growlers that don’t keep your beer fresh for more than a few days. Search through our list for the best growlers around.
Capacity: How much the growler holds can be really important to craft beer lovers. Too much, and you can’t finish all the beer before it goes flat. Too little, and you’re constantly running back to the brewery. Consider how much you typically drink before choosing a good capacity.
Material: Many of the best growlers are made of stainless steel, but some can be made of ceramic or glass. Typically, stainless steel is a good choice because it keeps your beer cool and fresh, but well built ceramic and glass models can be really great as well.
Insulated: An insulated growler keeps your beer icy cold for a much longer time than uninsulated ones. If you’re looking to take your beer to parties, barbecues, or even camping, an insulated growler is definitely the way to go.
Vacuum: A vacuum seal helps keep your beer fresh and carbonated for a much longer time than a normal seal. Typically, breweries will give you a glass growler with a screw on cap and you’re lucky if it keeps for more than a couple of days. A vacuum seal solves this problem.
Size: If you’re going to transport your growler frequently, you may want to consider it’s size. A large growler could get in the way of carrying it frequently, but if you want it to hold a lot of your favorite brew, this may not be an issue.
Warranty: Some growlers come with a warranty. Typically a warranty is a manufacturer telling you they are very confident in the quality of their product, so purchasing something with a warranty can be a great long-term investment.
So now that you know what to look for in the best beer growlers, let’s get straight to our amazing growler guide. If you’re in a rush to get to your favorite brewery and fill up, check out our top and budget picks. They’re both amazing examples of great growlers at a great price.
