Utepils Growler Fill Station - Fill ‘er up

A lot of breweries take the bottling process seriously, but then they get sloppy when it comes to growlers. They fill them at the same taps that were designed for pint glasses. Beer’s sloshing all over the place and it ends up too foamy or too flat. We think that’s criminal. So, as with everything we do at Utepils, we aimed for better.

Instead of filling growlers at the tap, we do it in a clean controlled environment. At the risk of getting too technical, we displace the atmosphere in the growler with CO2 and pressurize the bottle before filling it up. The fill station prevents excessive foaming, which is cool for a few reasons:
1) We don’t waste beer
2) We retain the proper CO2 levels in the growler (meaning it doesn’t go flat and degrade the beer’s quality)
