Growler 6-Pack

I wish I could say that this was an original idea of mine, but it's not. I met a guy at a local brewery that told me that he had a six-pack holder for growlers. I immediately thought that was an ingenious idea. I've needed something to keep them from rolling and clanging around in the car, and transporting multiple growlers at once required more hands than I currently have. A holder seemed to be a great solution. This all happened right before New Years, so I quickly rounded up some scraps and threw this together to use it while making the rounds getting growlers for New Years.

It fits all sizes of growlers and I plan on making some inserts to accommodate some smaller growlers. It is made out of 1/2'' MDF and 1/4'' plywood. It is glued and screwed to hold together. It does have a downside. When full it is heavy. Six full growlers is about 3 gallons, which is about 25 lbs, just in beer weight, not counting the glass and wood. It does the job, though and can handle all the weight.


Full on New Years Eve. Full growlers left to right, front to back include:
Bootlegger's Brewery, Fullerton, CA - Chocolate Mint Porter (I wish I had more to put over ice cream!)
Stone Brewing Co, Escondido, CA - Levitation, One of my all-time favorites from Stone)
Stone Brewing Co - IPA, another fantastic favorite
El Segundo Brewing Co, El Segundo, CA - Citra Pale Ale, the Citra version of their house Pale Ale
Eagle Rock Brewery, Los Angeles, CA - Solidarity, their English Mild and at 3.8%
 you can drink it all night
Monkish Brewing Co, Torrance, CA - Anomaly, a dark Belgian Strong
 that is probably my favorite from them
