Growlers: Beer To Go

Kona Brewing Company's Growler Shack serves Beer To Go to the thirsty!

A “growler” is a 1/2-gallon glass jug that is filled directly from Kona Brewing Company’s taps then sealed air tight for take-home. Holding 64 ounces, a growler will pour approximately four 16-ounce pints. Beer remains optimally fresh in a refrigerated growler for seven to 10 days, or for one to two days once opened.

Kona Brewing Company’s growler is dark brown in color to shield its precious cargo from light - beer’s number-one enemy. It is adorned with the brewery’s good luck gecko logo, making it a fun and functional tote for fresh beer as well as an attractive gift or collector’s item.

Why is it called a growler? General belief in the beer industry goes like this. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, fresh beer was carried from the local pub to one’s home by means of a small-galvanized pail. Rumor has it that when the beer sloshed around the pail, it created a rumbling sound as the CO2 escaped through the lid, and thus the term “growler” was coined.
