Cask Beer… In Growlers
The number of places in NYC that offer cask beer is truly representative of the amazing beer culture. More and more bars and restaurants are learning the best serving techniques for delivering unpasteurized, naturally carbonated “cask ale.” Tasting a beer in cask form next to the same beer in bottle or regular draft form will quickly show you the difference.
The latest innovation to hit the five boroughs is cask beer in a growler. A growler is a half gallon glass bottle that allows you to enjoy draft (or now cask) beer at home. Bierkraft in Brooklyn and New Beer in Manhattan now offer cask beer in growler form. This means you can enjoy the unpasteurized and naturally carbonated form of beer in your home. Brilliant!
According to the people at Bierkraft, their cask growlers will last about a week if unopened, and they will last one day once opened. Pick one up when you are ready to drink and enjoy beer in its natural and fresh form.
