Mason Jar as growler?

[grittanomyces]

So I know that bottle-carbing in a mason jar is a big no-no, vacuum sealing, yada yada, but I can't find my growler tube and want to bring a sample from the keg to a friend. A mason jar seems good to actually be able to fill without a tube, due to the widemouth.

Plus I just like them for both presentation (I'm a southern boy) and the small size for sampling... And BTW, they do have green glass and are not going to be exposed to much light, so spare me that lecture please.

No issue with growlering them up, as long as the pressure's not too high, right?

I think it would be fine for the short amount of time it will be in the jar.

Right. Except that mason jars hold a vacuum, and not pressure inside the jar so that the beer will be flat within a couple of hours.

I've put beer into a mason jar and it's stayed carbed overnight... ?

I also have carried beer in a mason jar with no problems.
