Kevin Afghani believes in beer. The Dallas patent solo is combining his love of the world’s oldest fermented beverage and his law degree to revive a long-forgotten beer-distribution device: the growler.
For the uninitiated, the growler has a fabled place in beer history. Invented in the mid-1800s, a growler was originally a metal bucket, and later a large glass container, used to transport beer from a saloon to a consumer’s home. In the era before pasteurization and commercial bottling, buying beer in a growler was the only way to drink beer at home. But as time and technology advanced, the growler fell out of favor with beer drinkers.
