About

I bike to class, work, the grocery store, the bars, the mountains, the next town over, and every now and then I go touring for a week or two. I also have a minor vendetta against plastic water bottles, especially in exposed warm sunny conditions. Enter my not strictly beer holding growler. When I was preparing for my first bike tour, I realized I needed a convenient way to carry my growler on my bike. Enter the Mark I Growler Grabber. Over the last 5000 miles I’ve gone from the first Growler Grabber design I made in my garage out of an old oven rack to the stainless-steel precision bent beast of the final design. Everywhere I go I make sure to grab my growler and the few times I forgot to I’ve missed it dearly. To be personally honest, 99% of the time my Growler Grabber is the best water bottle cage I could ask for. The other 1% it is the only beer bottle cage I could ask for. That’s just me I’m sure everyone will have their own ratio of water to beer time in this multi-use vessel mount. Heck, I ran out of room in my bike bags one day at the store and stuck a jar of pickles in my Growler Grabber.
Questions addressing concerns I’ve heard or concerns I think people may have.

Doesn’t glass break?
-Yes glass breaks, but I’ve put my growler through thousands of miles of often bumpy terrain, more bike crashes then I will admit, and even one time when my growler fell out of my backpack onto pavement; and the only time I have ever managed to break a growler was by putting it in a cold puddle of water on a cold concrete table on a cold day and pouring boiling hot water in it. If you plan on doing this I’d suggest those newfangled stainless growlers they’ve got out there.
