What he is a growler of beer?

Answer 1

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.
