Title: Superman Growler
Post by: magnethead on March 25, 2014, 12:41:18 PM

Good side by side blog with a standard glass growler. The vacuum walled growler are great if you need to keep your brew at serving temp for a few days
:P :P

Once it's been anointed with beer, It's a Growler...but like everything it depends on your definition.....

Maybe you were thinking of this one  :P

Northern Brewer are sitting on the fence by calling it a 'Flask growler'

Here's the official beer history of the Growler....It started off in Metal rather than glass apparantly, but maybe that's just american history  ;D

EDIT: From a functional point of view, you want your growler to transport beer and keep it cool at the same time, in this regard, this Flask ;p growler is a champion!! No coolbox needed
