The TapIt Cap is specially designed and equipped with a CO2 cartridge to keep beer in a growler fresh.
For those who don't know, a growler is a device that's used to transport beer from craft breweries. Growlers are reusable, and thus, environmentally-friendly -- even more so than if you recycle your bottles or cans. The drawback is that beer kept in a growler for longer than a few hours begins to grow stale and flat.
The TapIt Cap keeps pressure within the growler by removing oxygen exposure from the equation. Users can drink from a valve attached at the end of the hose, allowing the beer inside to remain carbonated, fresh and bubbly for days or weeks.
