  • What is a beer growler?
    • A 64 ounce (1.89 litre) jug for beer that is poured from a tap. They can come in metal or ceramic as well, but most are made of brown glass (to prevent sunlight getting in) and run about $6 – $8 to buy empty.
  • How much beer is that?
    • A full growler is just over three standard 20 oz pints of beer, just under a regular 6 pack of 355ml cans, or about the same as 4 tallboy 473ml cans.
  • How long does beer stay fresh in a growler?
    • It’s a good idea to consume your beer within a week of getting the growler filled, as long as you haven’t opened it. If you’ve opened your growler, it’ll stay fresh for a little over a day, before going flat.

  1. Unfortunately when I went down to Revival Brewcade tonight, I was told they don’t do $10 refills… it now is $15 so I won’t be back, just around the block is Ol’ Beautiful and Cold Garden who have every day growler fills for $12 (sometimes $10 if trying to clear out stock for new brews) so I’m going there instead… plus they both have some killer beers. $24 vs $30 for 2 growlers is a big difference

  2. Not sure if you want to know about the highest price growler refills. High River Brewery is charging $10 per litre, $20 dollars for my 1.89 litre growler.

    • Sorry I missed this. Pretty much every place that fills growlers will also sell them too. Because they’re so cheap (like $6 empty), I’d suggest just buying one from like a few places. They’re often around $19-$22 when purchased + filled, but you can just buy the empty glass if you want.

      Basically, whose beer do you like the most? Get theirs!

    • Most that I’ve been to sell empty growlers, sometimes a deal with a growler… for example Banded Peak had a sour on sale they were almost finished with so wanted to clear it out in order to get some new stuff in and I got a new growler with a fill for $15 that’s a pretty decent deal as it wasn’t on a $10 growler fill day or anything like that… Most seem to be $5-8 for an empty growler but some do have incentives for new glass and fills from time to time…
      You also with most they will accept any 64 or 32 oz container, I had a True Buch Kombucha growler for a while, although Citizen swapped it out for one of theirs when I got a fill there a month or so ago.

      • Yeah I’ve seen a few that normally sell empty growlers for $5-8 occasionally do a sale where you get a fill and the glass for $12-$15 which is a great deal… usually it is when they are trying to clear out the kegs so they can put new stuff online… Banded peak did a $15 fill and new growler for me a month or so ago… which reminds me I should head down there soon for some Chinook… I love that stuff
