Shoot. I'm sure glad someone cleared that up. I always heard that growlers were small icebergs. Kinda figured they'd be scarce up in the Georgia mountains.

BTW, I will share a list of what they have available by then end of the week.  I, myself, bought a growler of a smaller brewery's root beer (non alcoholic).  Just because I cannot drink beer LOL

KEES!  OMG I have to share that definition with the owners, which happen to be one of the 4 full time couples up here on the mountain.  Trust me when I tell you we will all see the humor in it AND the owners will be circling the wagons to make wiki see a more relevant version of the word

Guys you had me rolling on the ground just in hysterics with this discussion.  I had gone to town to get some shots of the growler shop opening because I am going to build THAT website.  This picture and the one I will post here also, were taken to show you all that I live in a town where it is not unusual to see the Mules and Horses in town LOL!

I have to tell you there is absolute joy in being involved in a site that sees all sides of ANY issue and enjoys the discussion of all the views!

Though Kees' search goes more to the Bacchanal theme, yes, a growler is actually a new trend in which American craft beers are sold in jugs ranging from 32 oz. to 128 oz. (1 gallon).  It's very twee, and earnest, but frankly also at times quite hard to resist.  

I just hate it when they're too hoppy -- too much hoppiness in American beers currently (probably to make then taste a bit more homemade, a bit more rough around the edges, to give you the feeling you're being more locavore, or at least supporting a smaller brewery).  I am all for locavore, but I hate it when any large business tries to appear more bohemian, more down to earth, more down-home when they're anything but, & just looking to cash in on a trend.  

And small breweries don't have to make beer that tastes awful!  (Okay, some people like hoppy beers, but many people don't!  And if you make a hoppy beer, that aspect of the beer is going to overtake any other subtle flavor differences -- maybe I'm getting old, but even Summit is too hoppy for me these days, & there are so many other choices on the market -- probably even there at Bacchus!

Haha .. I found Kees definition too.

Somehow .. I think the 64 Oz definition is the pertinent one :)

I have just been to their website but am still in the dark as to the growlers . Jan does seem to frequent the nicest places , they have an outdoor cigar balcony which sounds very nice . Whether you can eat or drink a growler at the same time I do not know , though I would be very happy to try .

Your definition ,I think , may be incorrect Kees but full marks for originality !!
