What the hell is a growler?

Last night I had a couple of demi-pints of a fine Irish South American Colorado amber bock caramel cream coffee ale lager stout.

A growler is a 1/2 gallon jug of beer you buy directly from a brewery/brewpub.

I'm more of a "half jug" guy than a "growler" guy I guess.

you can call it whatever the [expletive] you want but it'll make it easier to get what you're looking for if you use the same word that the bartender uses.

Does anyone here do any home brewing?

I recently came in to a kegerator and it should be fixed this week and I was thinking about trying it out.
