Etymology
The term 'growler' originally referred to a 'growler's bucket' in the 19th century, which was used to transport beer from pubs to homes. The name was derived from the sound of the beer sloshing around in the bucket, which resembled a growling noise. As beer culture evolved, the traditional metal or ceramic growler gave way to glass and plastic containers that could seal tightly to preserve the freshness of the beer. The modern growler has become a staple in the craft beer world, where breweries often sell them as a way to promote their products and allow customers to take home their favorite brews.
