Hydro Flask and Chrislan Ceramics Partner to Save the World from Lukewarm Beer

BEND, Ore. — Hydro Flask, the award-winning leader in high-performance, insulated stainless steel flasks, has partnered with Chrislan Ceramics of Vancouver, B.C., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of custom tap handles for the on tap beer industry, to market and sell its high quality growlers.

Chrislan Ceramics, which has been on a successful growth path for 25 years, will be the exclusive distributor of Hydro Flask growlers and flasks to the brewery and wine markets. It will promote the Hydro Flask product line alongside its custom tap handles and Rastal glassware, a high-end German glassware line, and also manage all Hydro Flask sales, order entry, artwork, brewery logos and invoicing of breweries.

“We are excited to be offering Hydro Flask growlers to the brewing industry,” said Chrislan Co-Founder Al Laninga. “The growler is a premium product that is certain to be a hit in the tap beer market. Made from food grade 18/8 stainless steel, it is BPA-free, durable, sweat proof, reusable and insulated for up to 24 hours cold and up to 12 hours hot. All the growlers come with a lifetime warranty, and we are proud to be partnering with Hydro Flask.”
