Growler

By Bryce Eddings, About.com

Definition: Any container used to sell a measured amount of beer. 1/2 to 1 gallon growlers are often employed by brewpubs that don't bottle beer for sale.
Examples: The bartender filled a growler with the brewpubs porter, screwed on the cap, and passed it over the bar to me.
