A pitcher (more or less) of beer that you can get refilled at your local brew pub. Only it’s sealable. Like a Grolsch bottle only bigger.

In most parts of the country, a grunt is 32 ounces (2 pints) and a growler is 64 ounces (4 pints or half a gallon.)

An empty bottle, usually about a gallon. You take it to a brew pub and pay to have it filled with whatever beer they have that suits your fancy.
They usually tape the top and you take the bottle home to havew with home made Pizza.

It's a really small woofer that's still too big to be a tweeter.

“What is a growler?”

Usually a 64 ounce jug. The lesser known Howler is 32 ounces. Not really good if you like your beer ice cold unless the jug is insulated or you drink fast.

The growler has an interesting history. Contemporaily, a growler is a vessel for carrying draft beer in copious quantity - maybe up to a gallon. Beer aficionados will have a bartender fill one with a hard to find craft beer on tap so they can take home and drink at leisure.

Back in the early days, men would send their little children to a local bar to have a pail filled with beer to take home for them. Usually men who were either kicked out of the bar for being disorderly or men who were already too inebriated to go to the bar for a refill on their own. The pail of beer was so heavy that the child would "groan" and "growl" under the weight - hence the term growler. Oftentimes, the child would stop to drink some of the beer so that the pail would weigh less. If they drank too much, they'd get a good spanking when they got home.
