This Growler by Legacy, a Picnic Time brand, is the perfect vessel for transporting your favorite beverage home from the local brewpub. Made of translucent amber glass that holds 64 ounces, or a half gallon, this jug has an integrated handle and twist off steel cap. So, what is a growler, anyway? In modern day terms it is simply means a glass jug that carries beer, but there's a little bit of history behind it, or so they say: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, fresh beer was carried from the local pub to the home by means of a small-galvanized pail. Rumor has it that when the beer sloshed around the pail, it created a rumbling sound as the CO2 escaped through the lid, thus the term "growler" was coined. Before World War II, city kids used to bring covered buckets of draft beer from a local bar or brewery to workers at lunchtime or to their parents at dinnertime, a practice called "rushing the growler." At any rate, with so many yummy craft beers available now, this growler is the perfect answer for transporting your beer. Whether you prefer an Ale, IPA, Amber, Pale Ale, Blonde or Stout, this growler can accompany you on your next trip to the local brewpub for your favorite fresh beer on tap; take it home, or to your next gathering. If you prefer to purchase the growler with a tote that's made to fit, look for Picnic Time's growler/tote combination set. Makes an amazing gift for anyone who has an appreciation for fresh craft beer. Unfortunately, the beer is not included in our growler... bummer, right? Remember to always refrigerate your beer growler to allow for the longest life of freshness. Hand wash with warm water and mild detergent and soft angled bottle brush for best results..
