It's no secret that we like growlers; it was one of our first packages. Growlers are fun and they make it easy to share beer with friends and family. Over the past few years we have had many questions about growlers, the most common one is "How long will the beer stay fresh?" Our answer - Months, until it gets opened.
Why does the beer packed at our brewery stay fresh so much longer than one poured at the brewpub? Because we use a bottling machine to pack each growler - the machine evacuates the air, purges the growler with C02 and then fills from the bottom up under counter-pressure.
There isn't anything wrong with either method, it just depends on how soon you intend to drink the beer. Any growler you purchase from Great Crescent Brewery or one of the stores that we deliver fresh beer, will be packed in the bottling machine and is intended to stay fresh right up until the time it gets opened.
