Mitä tarkoittaa

Growler on kuljetusastia, yleensä 1-2 litran kapasiteetilla, jota käytetään erityisesti oluen tai muiden juomien ostamiseen panimoista ja ravintoloista. Growlerit ovat yleensä lasista tai teräksestä valmistettuja ja ne on suunniteltu pitämään juoma tuoreena ja hiilihapotettuna. Ne ovat suosittuja erityisesti käsityöläisoluiden ystävien keskuudessa, sillä ne tarjoavat tavan nauttia tuoretta olutta kotona tai muissa paikoissa, joissa pullotettua olutta ei ole saatavilla.
