Growler Station
Check out their growler station with an emphasis on local craft beer!
What the heck is a growler? In the late 1800s, fresh beer was carried from the local pub to home by a small, galvanized pail. The term "growler" is rumored to come about when the beer sloshed around the pail and it created a rumbling sound as the CO2 escaped through the lid!
Now you know.
