A Stainless Steel Growler From Vancouver’s Own “Innate”

20140223_6541

We dig the look and feel of these stainless steel craft beer growlers from local company Innate. As frequent campers and road trippers, it’s hard not to worry a little about the glass growlers that we take with us. They’re vulnerable in the wild, and one must have beer in the wild. Meanwhile, these guys – available in 32oz ($44) or 64oz ($50) sizes – are double wall vacuum-insulated and include a two finger loop as a handle. They’re so well designed that they were featured at the Museum of Vancouver’s “Why I Design” event during Vancouver Design week. Closer look here.
