I just got back from Bend, OR where craft breweries are a huge part of thr culture and growlers are available practically everywhere. Heck, I got one filled at the Portland airport (yum, Laurelwood!) before flying into Redmond.

Most have a screwtop, the better ones that Deschutes sells have a rubber seal. Either way, they’ll keep in the fridge for a few days, and hey, Bend hasn’t descended into a pit of public drunkeness. Growlers would be a nice way to bring home some of your favorite draught to share with friends of that evening’s supper.

The other thing most of the pubs there do that I wish would catch on here was something they called “nitro,” where the tap was powered by nitrogen rather than what it’s normally done with. It gives the beer a really creamy, thick-headed quality.

Eddie Holley said “Once you open it – you do want to consume it that very day.”

True of anything that can spoil. A dairy reseller would advise you to drink up that gallon of milk in the same day too.

I’m not getting excited until they legalize growlers of Jagermeister…
