It&#8217;s a glass, ceramic or stainless steel jug to used to transport beer. They typically come in three different sizes: 32 oz (half sized), 64 oz (standard growler) 128 oz (double sized growler). They&#8217;re most often used to bring fresh beer home from a brewery, or to bring somewhere such as camping, work, or church. The 64 oz glass growler is by far the most popular, often being available for about $6 at most tap rooms. To fill a growler it&#8217;ll cost anywhere from $10 to $14, usually. Of course there are more premium brews out there that will fetch a higher price, but most local beer is pretty cheap. Breweries often have sales for cheap growler fills too. A great investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0other names for 32oz growlers are:\u00a0Growlette, a Howler, 1\/2 Growler, Grumbler, Grenade, Squealer.<\/p>\n<h2>Going camping with CanKeg<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Beauvis-Lake-Camp.jpg\" alt=\"CanKeg Beauvais Lake Provincial Park\" width=\"1200\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Beauvis-Lake-Camp.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Beauvis-Lake-Camp-620x349.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Beauvis-Lake-Camp-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Beauvis-Lake-Camp-644x363.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Had an opportunity to head out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albertaparks.ca\/parks\/south\/beauvais-lake-pp\/information-facilities\/camping\/beauvais-lake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beauvais Lake campground<\/a> this past summer.

Does a bear shit in the woods? Yes it absolutely does. Always carry bear spray when walking around in a place like this. There&#8217;s supposedly some decent sized trout in this lake, but I wasn&#8217;t able to catch them. Did see several smaller trout but they weren&#8217;t interested in what we were using. Lots of weeds near the docks. Nonetheless, gorgeous place and highly recommended for a place to camp.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my CanKeg growler! This is the CanKeg &#8220;Tallboy&#8221; 128oz growler.

Any place that fills growlers should be able to do it. Went with Toolsheds People Skills cream ale. It was actually pretty funny watching the staff members try and figure out how to fill a 128oz growler using their &#8216;normal&#8217; 64oz growler setup. They had to dig in the back to find a special hose, but they did it! Kudos to them. It came to like.. $22? Pocket change. That&#8217;s over six full sized 20 ounce pints.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transparency<\/strong>: CanKeg graciously provided me with the &#8216;Crackmacs&#8217; logo keg free of charge.

The beer doesn&#8217;t get put under pressure until you&#8217;re ready to serve it up.\u00a0 Tossed it into the truck and off we went.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/CanKeg-tap.jpg\" alt=\"CanKeg diagram\" width=\"707\" height=\"943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/CanKeg-tap.jpg 707w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/CanKeg-tap-620x827.jpg 620w, https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/CanKeg-tap-644x859.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Setting it up only took a moment. Unscrew the lid, attach the mega cap, the taps, etc. In the video at the top of the page they show how to do it. Basically it&#8217;s idiot proof, and that&#8217;s coming from someone who once baked a pizza still in the cardboard. The only thing I had trouble with was figuring out how much pressure I needed for a proper pour. I&#8217;m not really one for following directions, so a little trial and later and I had it figured out. Until you find the sweet spot, you&#8217;ll bring up a lot of foam. What&#8217;s the sweet spot? Hell if I know.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re finished, taking it apart is even faster. Pull the release, pull the taps off etc. No sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Camping recommendation: put your CanKeg in a mountain river, if you get the chance. It&#8217;ll keep your beer really cold and there is no chance of it floating away or breaking. Plus it seems like a really Canadian thing to do.<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Laser Engraving<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2284\/5445\/products\/Flames_2000x.jpg?v=1541807498\" alt=\"Cankeg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CanKeg has the capability of adding whatever you want (within reason) to the side of your stainless steel growler!

It&#8217;s not just for beer!<\/h2>\n<p>No sir ma&#8217;am. At it&#8217;s most basic level, it&#8217;s a jug you can put anything in, the same as a typical glass growler, so if you need a temporary home to store a liquid you&#8217;re all set. If however you want to not only temporarily store liquids but make them awesome, you can do that too. CanKeg also has nitro taps!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cankeg.com\/products\/pro-tap-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Check it<\/a>. You can have nitro beer or coffee at home, or anywhere. Good luck doing that with a glass growler without C02. Also if you really wanted to you could put milk or gravy or sriracha in a growler and hook a tap up to that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bgl2do5jaQf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
