You can get a cheap, screw top growler for $4-5. On the opposite end of the spectrum I've seen flip top stoneware growlers for $65-80. Any type of colored glass with a flip top should suffice. As far as regulations are concerned, I was under the impression you can fill any growler you choose.

I've also been curious about this. Is there any restrictions of getting it filled at a bar and taken home sealed for later consumption.

Where do you live? That makes a difference. Also some bars/brewpubs only fill their own growlers.

I don't know he laws there, some posters should. Seen plenty of growlers ship out.


Also, consider metal/aluminum growlers. Less chance of breaking.

Flip top growlers help it stay fresh longer once opened?

The screw tops are more likely to fail after repeated use.

If it is Houston, buy one from Growlers in Montrose and might as well fill it up with a good beer as part of the gift.

This. Or get a gift card with it instead of a fill.

This is fantastic, in my opinion. Holds a great seal for freshness and it's super sturdy. But like any growler, once you crack it, drink it quickly.

Good suggestions but I'm not in Houston (I'm in nola) and won't be so that kills that idea

Was more thinking of something online

Check out Amazon. I know Stone growlers can be found there. Would be a good glass option.

H&h has been using some new tops lately that supposedly keep it fresh longer. Not sure I buy it. They are still screw tops though

If you want to spend a little more money, Drink Tanks come with a Keg Cap Option (total cost: a little over 110 bucks). The Keg Cap has a CO2 cartridge and a picnic tap. It will keep your beer fresh longer, like a mini-keg.
