Giveaway: GrowlerWerks uKeg Pressurized Portable Growler Kit

The Manual has been a friend to GrowlerWerks since we covered their first uKeg Kickstarter in 2014. So, when they called us up and wanted to work with The Manual to help giveaway a few of their favorite uKeg growler kits, the only appropriate response from us was, “Hell yes!”

GrowlerWerks’ uKeg is built from pressurized, double vacuum stainless steel that can hold up to 128 ounces of beer. And, because it’s essentially a mini-keg, it also keeps your beer fresh and carbonated for up to two weeks. How, you ask? The brand’s unique pressurization cap. The cap, in combination with an internal CO2 cartridge automatically regulates pressure to optimally carbonate beer. According to GrowlerWerks, you can “choose your desired carbonation level, from zero (off) up to 15 psi.” To make clear what pressure your beer is sitting pretty at, the uKeg has a tap outfitted with an aesthetically pleasing (and almost-Steampunk) brass pressure gauge.

But, we’re not just giving away a simple uKeg, my friends. We’re giving away GrowlerWerks’ entire uKeg 128 Gift Package. Not only will you receive a 128 ounce uKeg described above, but you’ll also score two stainless steel uPints, along with a handy carrying case, and a 10-pack of CO2 cartridges. So, all you need for a nice night in or a very boozy afternoon in the park is to enter the contest in the module below for your chance for this perfect portable keg pack.

Cheers!

The new brew routine: Why gut health is the future of coffee
Is your coffee good for your gut?

According to a recent survey by Danone America, 84% of Americans have become more interested in "functional" foods and products that support gut health. These changing wellness trends are affecting nearly every type of food and beverage product, and they've now made their way into your morning coffee mug as well. Popular coffee brand Bulletproof Coffee believes gut health is the future of coffee, adapting its product line to include science-based ingredients that transform a delicious cup of coffee into a gut-supporting beverage. I chatted with Stephanie Hoffman, Director of R&D and Quality at Bulletproof Coffee, to learn more about gut health and coffee.
Gut health in the wellness world

According to Hoffman, "Gut health has become a major focus not just in the wellness world, but in general, as people are recognizing its deep connection to energy, immunity, mood, and mental clarity." With this in mind, Bulletproof has adopted a mindset that your morning coffee should do more than wake you up.

Perfectly described by Chris Smith, co-owner and founder of Ground Ops Roastery + Bakehouse, "The day doesn't truly begin until that first sip of coffee." Yet, according to Smith, the story of coffee extends far beyond its role as just a drink. Coffee has so many uses both inside and outside of the kitchen -- that most of us coffee drinkers fail even to acknowledge. From cooking with coffee grounds, such as in tenderizing meat, to using them as fertilizer for plants, consider these surprising uses for ground coffee.
