Generally speaking, a growler is a refillable container or vessel into which tap beer is poured for home consumption.
Here at Bellport Cold Beer & Soda, we have 64 oz. and 750-ml. bottles for your convenience. The standard size is 64 oz. but they range in size anywhere from 10 oz. to 192 oz. Yes, 192 oz.
I have a regular customer who brings one in and hooks it up to a mini CO2 tap system.
Why the heck is it called a growler?
There are a few different stories. Here are a couple of them.
In the late 1800's and early 1900's, fresh beer was carried from the local pub to your home by means of a pail. The rumor mill has it that when the beer sloshed around the pail, it created a rumbling sound as the CO2 escaped through the lid. The term "growler" was coined.
