Before dispensing beer into your growler you should wash (put 3 drops of dishwashing detergent in the bottle, fill about 1/3 of the way with hot water, cap and shake for 2 minutes), rinse (remove cap and pour out soapy water, partially fill with hot water, shake and pour out. Do this at least 3 times including cap. If any soapy residue remains keep rinsing and pouring out. Make sure all residue is gone), sanitize (add 2 drops of unscented bleach and fill the growler to the top with warm water, cap and let sit for 10 seconds), and air dry (pour out sanitized water and let air dry completely).
If you're talking about the EFA-18G "Growler", it is the same size as the FA-18F. Google it and you can get the info. If your refering the other usage of "growler" by the USN, it all depends on what you ate last night.
Grand Marnier is a liqueur. Guinness is a popular beer brand.
A growler is a refillable glass jug used to purchase beer for take-out from Brewpubs. Some states, like New York, allow a certain class of beverage stores to offer growler-fills as well. A growler is a glass jug, 64 fluid ounces in volume, that typically has a replaceable screw-top lid that locks in freshness for a short amount of time - normally less than a week. Once opened at home, the beer should be consumed within 24 hours to maintain brewery-fresh-taste before it loses carbonation and goes flat. There are, however, specialty growler caps (eg, fizz giz growler caps) equipped with a valve allowing the introduction of co2 gas from dispensers adapted for use with the valves. Bartenders and consumers may purge air from the head space to displace as much oxygen as possible and repressurize the contents with pure co2. The process will extend the shelf life to 30-days or more. Brewpubs and microbreweries sell growlers at a low price, with their name and logo engraved on them, and offer growler-fills at a discounted price if you bring in your own that you puchased from the brewery. Cheers.
There are 12 fluid ounces in an average can of beer in the US.There is also what is called the forty, which is a 40-oz can/bottle of beer. From there, it goes to the growler, which is 64 ounces of beer.
4. A growler is a half gallon and there are 8 US pints in a US gallon. So there are four US pints in a growler.

We're not talking about the USS Growler, a small iceberg, a four-wheeled hansom cab from England, a sexual offender or any of the other slang phrases associated with the word - there are many. We're talking about that which carries fresh beer from a brewery to your house. Now there are many speculations as to the origins of the growler, so let's take a moment and explore some of these.In the late 1800s and early 1900s, fresh beer was carried from the local pub to one's 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."In the 50s and 60s, waxed cardboard containers with lids were used to take home beer - it's said that they were round and resembled take-out Chinese soup containers. And in many US states, it used to be (and still is) illegal for "liquor stores" to be open on Sunday. So if you wanted beer on Sunday you went to a bar and bought some of these "containers" of draft beer. However by the late 60s many bars had switched to plastic and eventually they were allowed to sell packaged beer after hours. Soon after, many states allowed Sunday sales at liquor stores and the concept of the growler soon died.In the early 80s, Newman Brewing in Albany, NY used to sell soft plastic gallon containers of their beer. Apparently if you brought the empty back to the brewery, they'd replenish it with more beer.A claim to the modern day growler states that in 1989, Charlie Otto and his father were discussing the dilemma facing the Otto Brothers Brewery. They wanted to offer "beer-to-go" for their local customers, but they were not yet in a position to bottle. Father Otto suggested the use of "growlers," which were used in his younger days, but Charlie recognized the need for an updated package type. He purchased a small silkscreen machine, and set it up on his patio. Soon he was silk-screening his logo on half-gallon glass bottles that resembled moonshine jugs. The modern-day "growler" was introduced.George Bulvas III, brewmaster at Water Street Lake County Brewery, WI, suggests that growlers are named for the buckets of beer once given to factory workers before their stomachs began to "growl" from hunger.Whatever. Nowadays, a growler is simply a glass jug that carries a half-gallon of beer. However, some can get rather extravagant holding upwards of two liters with a clampdown ceramic top and a metal handle/grips (German-style). You can even buy specially designed cooling packs complete with carrying straps for your growlers, but we'd probably pummel you to the ground for looking like a complete dork.Growlers are filled straight from the tap, sealed with a twist-cap, often with a plastic wrap over this if filled ahead of time, and are sometimes labeled. Filled prices range anywhere from around $4 to $15 or more. A deposit must be paid, often included in the price, and chances are if you bring back your washed growler, you can get a refill for a cheaper price. Just note that you must always refrigerate growlers. Doing so will give them a shelf-life of 7-10 days, or around 2-3 days once opened - if you're lucky.Almost all brewpubs sell growlers these days, as do many breweries. And regardless of its true origin the growler is a great way to take home some fresh brew from a local brewery or brewpub.Respect beer.

USS Growler (SS-215) was first commanded by Lieutenant Commander Howard W. Gilmore, who received the Medal of Honor during Growler's Fourth War Patrol. Gilmore was shot during a surface action, and realizing he could not make it below in time for his boat to escape, he ordered his Executive Officer to dive the Growler, leaving him behind on the surface. His body was never recovered. The XO, Lieutenant Commander Arnold F. Schade, took command of Growler and returned her to Brisbane, Australia, for repairs.Commander T.B. ("Ben") Oakley commanded Growler for her Tenth and Eleventh (and final) war patrols. Growler was lost either due to a torpedo (possibly her own) or convoy escort enemy action while operating in a wolf pack with submarines USSHake (SS-256) and USS Hardhead(SS-365).
No, it ain´t.
