CALIFORNIA GROWLERS

Chrome: When I lived in the real Bay Area (i.e., the Bay Area in which you can see the Golden Gate and/or Bay Bridge with minimal effort), Chrome was the most ubiquitous brand of messenger bags and backpacks.  Now, they've expanded their line to include everything a bike-messenger-type urbanite needs for day-to-day living, including growlers.

Klean Kanteen: My household relies heavily on insulated bottles from this Chico-based B Corporation.  Klean Kanteen bottles keep my coffee warm, my drinking-water room temperature, and my to-go cocktails cold.  Now -- according to their website -- they also make growlers.  I probably will buy one soon.
