Looking for input on other's experiences with this. We purchased a skid of branded amber 64oz. growlers from a very well known national supplier. We've filled and sold about 50 in four days. A customer called to complain the growler she purchased exploded on her kitchen counter. Her account was it seemed wet when it was bought and resting on the bar top but she assumed it was a little overflow from the filling. She put it in the back of car for the ride home and she noticed there was a strong beer smell as if the growler was actually leaking. She tightened the cap, placed a napkin on the refrigerator shelf and stored the growler on it over night. The next day the napkin was soaked like the glass was leaking and there was no beer coming out of the cap. She set the growler on her counter and in a few minutes it exploded!
I never heard of such a thing.
I apologized of course and promised to compensate her for her inconvenience and loss. The customer was very understanding and calm (perhaps more than I would have been).
First: Has anyone encountered the GLASS part of a growler leaking? I can only imaging an imperfection in the bottom or side? How about growlers exploding?
Please let me know how your growler supplier handled the issue?
Thank you!
