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!

Flying with alcohol: How to pack beer and wine in your luggage
Can you fly with alcohol? Learn how with this packing guide
Packing a suitcase.

If you're a craft beer aficionado or ardent wine lover, chances are that, at some point, you'll find yourself in a predicament when packing for a flight. You've gone a little overboard at the breweries and wineries and couldn't resist splurging on several of those delicious bottles. Don't worry; we've all been there. From a souvenir perspective, locally produced beer and wine make for refreshing mementos from any journey, as well as great gifts to bring back from your travels. Here's the big question though. Can you bring alcohol on a plane?

The short answer is yes. Like with anything else in life, there are rules and it's important to know them before you head to the airport including how much and what you can bring. It's also essential to know how to pack the alcohol for the flight. There’s nothing worse than a bottle of red wine breaking in your suitcase and staining everything or a broken beer bottle making your luggage smell like yeast right before a long-haul flight. With a few smart packing decisions, your beer or wine will be safely waiting for you at the baggage carousel, wherever your final destination may be.

Who doesn't love a good Mai Tai?
Mai Tai

Whether it’s the midst of the summer heat or the middle of a frigid winter, there’s no wrong time for a Mai Tai. This classic tiki cocktail of rum, curaçao liqueur, orgeat syrup, and lime juice is either a comforting, tropical respite from winter or the perfect accompaniment to literally having your feet in the sand on a hot summer day.

For those unaware, Tiki is a style of bartending that involves mostly rum-based cocktails in a tropical setting made to pay tribute to island cultures, most notably Polynesian culture. Popularized in the 1950s and '60s, drinks like the Mai Tai, Hurricane, Blue Hawaiian, Rum Runner, Painkiller, and others have seen a resurgence with the rise of cocktailing and a renewed interest in classic drinks.
