A growler is a half-gallon jug filled right from the tap. Before bottles, that's the only way people could enjoy beer at home - bring it from the local pub in any sort of bucket or container. Growlers are pretty much the only way to bring beer home from the smaller brewpubs that don't have any sort of distribution. Growlers are wonderful things. They make me happy.

Yay for growlers! I've had one of those before, but I didn't know the term for it.
