Frequently Asked Questions
Hopefully we can answer your questions below. If not, feel free to email us.
We are happy to fill any and all Karl Strauss branded with the liquid of your choice. We will also fill any 32oz, 1 liter, 64oz, or 2 liter blank or non-brewery branded growler as well.
We will only fill other brewery’s growlers if they are in the above sizing and their labels are fully and completely obscured and covered with a not readily removable covering (i.e. no hand-knitted koozie no matter how lovingly it was made by your grandma). We recommend General Purpose Vinyl tape. If you don’t have any at home we keep some on hand at our locations to help you out.
We are happy to provide you with the nutritional info on our core beer releases. Please reach out to our customer service email and we’ll be able to answer any questions you might have.
As much as we would love to, we do not have a license that would allow us to ship beer.
Karl Strauss is distributed all over California, Arizona, and Nevada. Check out our beer finder page to locate some at a retailer near you!
All of our bottling dates are labeled using the Julian Code system (DDDY), printed on the neck of 12oz bottles and laser printed toward the bottom of our cans. The first 3 numbers represent the day of the year out of 365 and the last number denotes the year.
The shelf life of your beer varies by style. Some styles are appropriate for cellaring and aging while others need to be consumed as fresh as possible. If you have any questions about the shelf life of our beers please reach out to our customer service email.
We do not have a designated vegan or gluten free menu. However, we do have numerous items that can be modified to accommodate specific dietary needs. Your brewpub server will be able to offer guidance on which items, and how.
Though it is rare, quality issues with your beer may arise. We take these claims extremely seriously and encourage you to reach out to our customer service email. To help us best address the issue, please include the Julian Code, the date of your purchase, the location of your purchase and the specific issue (foaming, sour, etc). If you can attach photo’s as well, even better.
We offer kegs of our core beers as well as limited amounts of specialty release kegs at our brewpubs during business hours. Please call your desired location to inquire. Total Wine & More and other individual liquor store locations may have kegs available as well. For inquiries regarding keg locations, please email customer service with your zip code.
We would love to send you stickers! Please send us a self-addressed stamped envelope and we’ll fill it with rad KARL stickers for you to plaster around your house, the bathroom walls at your local watering hole, stop signs and anywhere else you see fit.
