Growlers have been used to transport beer home from the local pub since the early 1800s, but as technology has advanced, we are now able to offer both growlers and crowlers (can growlers) of any beer on our draft beer menu in a convenient to-go package.
We take growler/crowler filling seriously at The Glass Jug. After all, it’s in our name!
When we fill your growler, our trained staff of bartenders will following these steps:
Inspect the growler for cleanliness
Sanitize your growler just prior to filling
Purge the growler with carbon dioxide to remove potentially beer-spoiling oxygen from the container
Fill the sanitized and purged growler from the bottom up using a sanitized fill tube
Cap your full growler with a new, freshly sanitized cap, being sure to cap on foam to further eliminate oxygen from the container.
Forgot to bring your own growler for a refill? No worries at all! You can purchase a new growler from The Glass Jug, or get your beer in a convenient recyclable 32-ounce aluminum crowler. New growlers are $3 (32-ounce) and $5 ($64-ounce), or you can have a crowler filled for only $1.50 more than the regular growler filling price. However, note that the crowlers are not reusable, unlike their glass counterparts.
You’ll also find crowlers of our own Glass Jug Beer Lab brands pre-filled every Wednesday and kept cold in our cooler next to the bar. Feel free to grab a few to-go next time you stop by.
