The Juggernaut

Larger than any

t
he Juggernaut

and
personal
portable
k
eg
:
The Juggernaut

guaranteed leak-
proof
dual-
bail cap system
(patented)
. Its ergonomic handle makes it portable and pourable, with style and comfort.
T
he
Kegulator
(patent-pending)
,
an Auto-Regulating Keg Cap
,
will turn DrinkTanks
G
rowlers into “
mini
K
egerators
”
– a step beyond kegs. Why? The system uses
a
CO
2
cartridge
and a purge valve
to displace the air in the same way
kegerators
do
,
keeping
carbonated beverages
fresh to the last drop.
The
Kegula
tor
is compatible with both
DrinkTanks
Growlers: the
64 oz
Classic Growler (patent-pending)

the
128 oz DrinkTanks
G
rowler

The
Kegulator
allows
force-
carbonation
with
control
from
0 to 40 psi –
perfect for
home
brewers
!
“It was the Kickstarter community
that
helped us get our 64
oz
Classic Growler into production in 2013,” said Nicholas Hill, CEO and founder of
DrinkTanks
. “That success led to our adding
ten
new jobs in Bend. We’re hoping our Kickstarter friends will respond just as enthusiastically this time around, and get the Juggernaut and
Kegulator
off the ground!”
All DrinkTanks
G
rowlers
keep
b
eer cold, fresh
,
and carbonated
without refrigeration
for up to 24 hours. Available in 12 stylish finishes
– stainless steel finish or powder coated in 11 different colors,
wit
h custom engraving as an option.
