In Bend Oregon, Nicholas Hill and the ever growing team at DrinkTanks design and assemble stainless steel growlers that are unique and built to last. The company has evolved from sketches on a napkin to an 18,000 sq. ft. production facility. Nicholas and the team have stitched together an entrepreneurial journey that has balanced life events, crowdfunding, and rapid growth in order to create a sustainable business in Central Oregon.

I’m no beer expert, but I do live in Oregon—home to more microbreweries than you can count—so I definitely take beer seriously. Recently, I’ve come across several accessories that make drinking beer that much better. Here are eight of my favorites.

Women's Running stopped by our booth at Outdoor Retailer and took our growler on the road to see how it stands up to the test for event days! Fara Rosenzweig, freelance writer stated“Whether you’re a beer drinker, cold-brew coffee gal or kombucha lover, keep your favorite beverage cold for any event. The DrinkTanks 64 oz Insulated Growler is fantastic to use for overnight events (like Ragnar Relay), camping trips or tailgating adventures. Love the CO2 injector that makes drinks stay fresh, longer. Lightweight and easy to take with you, I never leave home without my growler for major events.”

For the past 10 years or so, the watchword for Central Oregon beer has been "expansion." It's a trend that continues apace, although it's perhaps not so noticeable at the moment because not as many new breweries are opening. But our existing breweries are expanding like there's no tomorrow.
