    Anyone know of any shop in the Bay Area (or Santa Rosa) that sells empty growlers in non-standard sizes? i.e. pint size growlers, 750ml, 1L, etc.?

    Thanks in advance!

    SF Brewcraft might be able to help out -- they definitely sell fliptop caps and maybe the 750ml growlers, too. They're at 17th and Clement and are a homebrew store, but they also sell a lot of empty bottles.

    They definitely sell a lot of stuff that isn't on the website, including tea corks and the like. Might just be worth it to give them a call.

    Nate,

    Just a heads up but you probably already learned this the hard way. In California, it is illegal for a brewpub to fill a growler other than their own (i.e. only their glass, not anyone else's). I know it is a ******ed law, but I assume that you were trying to growler a smaller bottle and bring home some RRB stuff. They won't allow it and won't fill the growler for you. Sucks bigtime.

    MoreBeer in Concord is huge and will most likely carry what you're looking for.
