Growlers are large bottles that were originally designed for the storage of draught beers. When they were first developed, it was to enable people to come to a bar, have their growler filled and then return home where the beer would be consumed. To this day, growlers tend to be quite large, although they come in varying volumes. The most popular ones are the two liter ones with swing tops, like our 2L PotBelly Swing Top Growler.

Not everybody understands the point of using growlers. They are designed to be filled and taken home, whereas most people would prefer to simply stay in the bar to consume their drinks and purchase other beer from their local liquor stores. However, growlers have a long history in our country, as well as in Canada and Australia. This is because many people live in homes that are very far from the nearest pubs or bars, and they often struggle to find specialty brews in their local stores. Hence, by having a growler filled, they have the opportunity to consume their favorite drink without drinking and driving at the same time.

Nowadays, growlers are also very popular with people who brew their own beers. Indeed, our 2L PotBelly Swing Top Growler will allow you to showcase your own brew or even your company, as they can be printed with an image or name. These bottles are also highly popular in recycling circles, as they can be used for a variety of things, including saving jars, vases and candle holders.
