Growlers To Go is OBX’s Beer Destination Nothing pairs better with a day on the beach like an ice cold beer in your hand. If you’re headed to the beaches in Kitty Hawk or Duck, make a pit stop at Growlers To Go Craft Beer. “Packing a cooler and going to the beach is the most natural thing in the world,” says Austin Allen, owner of Growlers To Go Craft Beer. Inspired by a true love and appreciation for all things beer, Growlers To Go offers the widest selection of craft beer on the beach. Allen purchased the first location in Duck from Reid Carter, who started the concept in Richmond, Virginia. “When people would walk in, their eyes would light up seeing all those taps and the variety of beers that we had,” Allen says. “People were mesmerized.” When Allen, an Outer Banks native, found out that Carter was selling, she bought the Duck location and shifted its focus to showcase local and regional beers. “Reid had a great vision,” she shares. “I tried to take it to the next level and continued with that at the new store.” Both the Duck and Kitty Hawk locations boast up to 42 taps—with different options at each store—featuring local Outer Banks breweries along with regional and national selections. “We do have a large number of taps, but it’s the beer itself that really shines,” Allen explains. “We take a lot of pride in finding local and regional beers that are highly rated.” Purchase four and six packs or choose from more than 100 single beers that are already cold and ready to enjoy. Mix and match the singles to create a personalized six pack.When you visit, take some time to hang out and explore the array of flavors with samples, in-house pints and flights. Then load up the ones you like the most in a growler or pint to-go. In addition to beer, Growlers To Go also has a carefully curated selection of fine wines, premium cigars and T-shirts designed by local artist Britton Ricketts. With so much to offer, accompanied by a welcoming and knowledgeable staff, you’ll quickly discover that Growlers To Go is so much more than just a store—it’s a beer destination.
