· Legal Matters: Growing the Growler Business
Although the debate among scholars and beer aficionados may linger regarding the etymology of the word “growler,” there can be little doubt that the future of malt beverages is likely to be filled with them. In beer circles, the word growler is now synonymous with a one-half gallon, refillable glass container that is used by local brew pubs and operators for off-premise consumption.
Growlers are advantageous for a variety of operators for many reasons. Growlers afford customers with direct access to tap-quality malt beverage products in affordable, bulk containers that are reusable and, accordingly, environmentally favorable over disposable glass bottles or aluminum cans. Also, growlers stimulate brand awareness both as takeaway brew pub souvenirs and bulk service pieces likely to facilitate group tastings and the shared enjoyment of the malt beverage products in and around the comforts of home.
