Plastic Growlers

Using Nalgene bottles as growlers is common around here.

 

I’ve never seen a plastic growler here, all glass.

 

It's a brand of soft and flexible plastic that was originally used in labware, like the soft squeeze-bottles used for decanting alcohol or water.

 

These are rigid. Usually used for hiking, camping, etc.

 

Doesn't look like the Nalgene pics I found;

I've never seen those before, but, I don't get out much. As long as it's food-grade plastic, I wouldn't worry about off-flavors.

 

Got an REI in town?

 

I've seen old ceramic whiskey bottles used ,as well as some apple juice glass gallon jugs, but never ever plastic. Seems like a terribly hard thing to keep flavors pure and clean from serving to serving.

looks like there are none in WY. But you can join and shop online. You don't have to join, but being a member gets you a rebate at the end of the year.

As I mentioned upthread, as long as its food-grade plastic, there shouldn't be an issue. Ever see a plastic keg?
