Do you sell crowlers or beer to-go?
Banging Gavel sells to go 32oz CROWLERS.
Not to be confused with glass screw top growlers, CROWLERS are sealed 32oz cans.
Why Crowlers? CROWLERS allow Banging Gavel to control the cleanliness and sanitation, while giving the beer a longer fridge life. Where a crowler can last 3-5 days in a refrigerator, a growler should be consumed within 25hrs of filling.
Banging Gavel strives for the best customer experience, whether they are enjoying our beer onsite or at home. Crowlers keep beer fresher longer.
