Right off the bat, this seems cool but does anybody actually use these? Believe me, I love beer as much as the next guy (maybe even more) but this just doesn’t seem practical. With all the movement of cruising around on a bike, even with smooth terrain, the beer can’t be tasting too great post-ride. Am I wrong?

Looks like it will swing around and get annoying…. Not to mention it’s going to heat up real fast being exposed like that… I think backpack is better… The leather work is nice though.
I belive you need a cranktank: https://bikepacking.com/news/cranktank4/
This will float your boat.
You need an insulted Growler. I have some from hydro flask that work great! They also happen to fit my Blackburn dry bag carriers.
If a glass growler on your top tube breaks…. You’re gonna have a bad day….
You need another strap to secure it to the seat tube or the down tube to stop it from swinging around. Not sure which would be better.
I run a ue wonder boom Bluetooth speaker sort of like that and then Velcro strapped to the down tube to stop it from swinging around.
I’d worry about the beer getting sloshed around though and if I was doing growler delivery it would be on the front basket in upright position.
that growler carrier seems more effective than a growler
Growler? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Growler
AI said ya’ll were drunks, IDK anymore!?
This looks like a solution in search of a problem. I’ll stick to my Bodega Basket, a couple cheap terrycloth towels to protect the glass, and a bungee cord or two to keep it in place. Then I get to haul TWO growlers, and if I need more than that at one time, then perhaps I have more serious concerns on my hands.
