uKeg Twist Hard Seltzer Maker launch

Growlerwerks, the Portland, OR based makers of the uKeg carbonated growler will introduce a mobile hard seltzer growler that can carbonate just about any sort of liquid on the go. The uKeg Twist Hard Seltzer Maker will launch on kickstarter on March 31st, and though it’s marketed towards the white hot hard seltzer market, it’s capable of adding some fizz to anything from a mixed cocktail to lemonade and with a few shakes it will be good to-go.


Unlike the regular uKeg and it’s iterations like Nitro and GO, the Twist model is smaller with a plastic cap and powder-coated vacuum-insulated 18/8 stainless steel body that makes it super lightweight and easy to throw into a backpack or beach bag. It also has a button and a pour button or a spout so you can drink directly from the vessel or pour into a glass. Because it’s not made for beer, the Twist isn’t made to support the higher carbonation levels of beer or keep it fresh for as long. Think of it as a make it and drink it quick solution for bubbly beverages on the fly, something that you can mix in the vessel itself while out and about, add a charge of C02 and a couple shakes and be good to go.

  

Making or mixing a seltzer, cocktail or what have you in the uKeg twist is basically a simple 3-step process:

 

  1. Adding water plus the ingredients you want (booze, fresh fruit, natural flavors—the choice is yours!)

  2. Dropping and twisting an 8g CO2 cartridge in the cap

  3. Giving it a shake and enjoying your creation

 

Growlerwerks will launch the insulated mobile unit uKeg Twist on kickstarter on March 31st, 2021 with big early bird discounts as much as 45%.
