I understand your point about condensation, but my carriers are made to transport a 64 oz “growler” of beer from the shop to your home, where it will be removed and put in the fridge. I leave the bottom open with the carry strap and internal straps supporting the bottle - I guess any condensation that forms will drip out the bottom! I treat the inside with a beeswax/carnuba wax/NFO/lanolin concoction that keeps it pretty water resistant. Gary AAAHHHHaa now it all makes more sense to me. 20 minutes ago, noobleather said: A 2L growler cover made of croc skin would be a good one for the brew hipster market. I totally agree....You send me one and I'll do it Quote

No offence intended Those Croc stubby holders are really good. 8 hours ago, noobleather said: I think the main difference between the growlers and smaller bottles is that you don't drink directly from the growler,u pour the beer into a glass. Um....we have some pretty bad ( beer) habits here in Oz , mainly in the bush . We do actually drink directly from the ' King Browns' ( 750ml bottles) . HS Quote

Members Handstitched Posted April 23, 2019 Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 This is off topic.... almost . Speaking of bad beer habits, '2 can trips.... 3 can trips etc. ', where car trips were measured in how many cans we could drink in a distance ( mainly in the bush where there were no cops ) .They're rarely seen even today out my way. An absolute very naughty no no ....but it was fun ! A'h.... the ' good old days' Thank you very much for the invite . I would think it will be quite a long chat about leather over some coldies HS Quote
