This is my collection of Growlers. A "growler" is a container of beer, typically around 64 ounces or so, that breweries, brew pubs, or any place that brews it's own beer sells to get fresh beer to it's customers. No one knows how they got their name, but it's rumored to be after the sound that grumpy old men would make if they didn't get their beer.

Hawthornes Cafe
Hawthornes Cafe is a beer boutique and gourmet eatery. A Bottle shop that also fills growlers. They have a proprietary growler filling system and special growler cap that they claim will keep the beer fresher longer then a standard growler (not sure if anyone has really tested this). Their growler fills are expensive, however, sometimes worth it because they often have hard to find beers. The food there is pretty amazing (I've only been for brunch). They also have a great bottle selection. This growler came home filled with Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Brown (very hard to find at the time)! http://hawthornecafe.com/
