    Looking to purchase a growler that keeps the beer carbonated. Suggestions? Thanks

    I could be wrong but I believe Growler saver is out of business. Their websites goes to a 404 error and they haven't responded to facebook or kickstarter queries in months.

    I have a DrinkTanks 64oz and the CO2 system works as advertised, but you do have to create headspace which means less than 4 full pints dispensed. Also the external manual injection of the CO2 isn't as elegant as the design on the GrowlerWerks uKeg.

    Got-cha!
    I'll keep that in mind for the future.

    I find that regular growlers do pretty well in general. I always give the tops an extra twist or 2 when I get them.
    I have kept growlers for over a year with no noticeable carbonation loss. This particular one was a barrel aged Dubbel, so I wasn;t as worried about oxidation from the filling, but this brewery does it as well as possible - CO2 flush, sealed fill and so forth.
    For homebrew, I have other caps I use. I don't know what they're called offhand, but they are heavy plastic with a sort of cone inside that seals better than standard thin metal ones.
