| A fancy, Euro-style growler. |
Wait, what's a growler? Glad you asked. A growler is just a big glass jug for taking draft beer to go. It's debatable where the term comes from -- some say it's from back in the day when a growler was just a pail with a lid and the bucket would growl as carbonation escaped from the top. Hey, it's what I read somewhere. I picked up a 64oz growler last night at
the Wine Seller in Williamsburg and filled it up with
Firestone Walker's Union Jack IPA. I'm hoping next time I go they'll have some local brews on tap, but this one's pretty tasty.
And now...

1 - Bring home fresh draft beer from your local microbrewery
2 - It's usually cheaper than buying the same amount of beer at the bar
3 - Prevent glass from having to be recycled or going to the landfill
4 - Makes bottling easier for the homebrewer (less bottles to fill)
5 - Take draft beer to a party or BBQ without having to buy a whole keg
