Use and Care

Growlers: Current filling options
Straight from the tap.
Positives – Cheap. Everything on tap
can be poured into a growler. Low
tech. Not much learning curve.
Negatives – Beer is agitated.
Generates foam that must be poured
off. Wastes beer and takes longer to
fill.
Counter pressured, filling tower platform.
Positives – Longer shelf life results from filling in
a pristine, closed system. Rinses growler and
purges air to prep for filling. Filling occurs in a
sealed environment. Back pressure prevents
beer from releasing CO2 during fill. Less foam,
beer maintains freshness.
Negatives – Very expensive, especially if
multiple units are needed to offer all beers in
growlers. Steep learning curve.
