When it comes to transporting booze from A to B, our US cousins across the pond have got things down to a fine art. We’re not entirely sure why – perhaps it’s because American bars aren’t as nice places to drink as the good old fashioned British pub (Wetherspoons excepted, obviously). But we do like the fact that over in the States you can often walk into a taproom and leave with a growler or a howler full of your favourite hazy pale ale, fruity IPA or hard cider. If you’re a little confused, let us explain. A growler is a 64oz beer jug that holds approximately 4 US pints (which are a little smaller than our pints. And yet they tell you everything is bigger in the USA). A ‘half growler,’ or howler, holds 32oz, or just under a litre of beer. MiiR’s handsome version is made from double wall stainless steel to keep your beer perfectly chilled and has a clever hinged lid that locks in place when you pour. Cheers!
Plastic pollution is one of the major issues facing our planet, and single-use plastic water bottles are a big part of the problem. But people need water. That’s why MiiR saw the potential to create a better breed of reusable drinkware – bottles and flasks that could go from home to office to gym and beyond, combining style and functionality in one sleek design. The result was a range of premium stainless-steel vessels that make the perfect everyday bottles, with double wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks hot or cold, plus leakproof lids with easy-grab handles. MiiR subsequently applied this considered design approach to coffee accessories, creating minimalist storage canisters and coffee drippers.
But in the words of founder Bryan Papé, MiiR is ‘more than well-designed drinkware’. It’s also a brand dedicated to helping the millions of people around the world without direct access to clean drinking water. That’s why every MiiR flask, bottle, cup or coffee canister sold helps to fund life-changing community and environmental projects. MiiR’s rigorous approach to transparency and accountability has enabled the brand to become a certified B Corp, certified climate neutral, certified Evergreen and a member of 1% for the Planet. So, this is drinkware that truly does make a difference.
