    guess the growler is accepted to be fresh on tap whereas the 40 will not be....

    agreed if this moved towards 40's someone would need to invent a cooling mechanism such as the wine bucket for whites

    Don't post things like this to give anyone ideas on cost saving! I don't want to see the next shipment of Ten Fidy come in one MONSTER can just so they can save a couple pennies on packaging.

    Though, to be fair, this would be sort of epic...

    A forty ounce bottle of craft? I think 22 ounces or 750 ml is enough already. No thanks. I like the 12 ounce format and I wish more beers were offered in this format.

    You'd never sell it. You got guys here complaining about the 16.9 oz bcbs being too much, how would they ever finish 40 oz.

    I love 40s, just something about them.

    Lagunitas already does 32s of Sucks. Might as well up it 8 more oz

    Middle aged white guys, wearing North Face jackets and drinking 40's of Two Hearted, offering me meth outside of my local craft den.

    Why make forties of craft beer when growlers exist? I wouldn't imagine that they'd be too much cheaper, so why do it unless to say you did it?

    I think Sierra Nevada could make and sell 40s of their pale ale and torpedo for less than $5 each
