Here's why this beer jug has a deeply unfortunate name in Ireland
FOR THOSE OF you that may be unfamiliar, a growler is a big refillable jug you can take craft beer home in, direct from the tap.
It looks a little something like this:
The word is also defined as ‘someone who growls’, or a ‘small piece of an iceberg’.
But in Ireland, as most of us know, it means something completely different.
Take it away, Urban Dictionary.
Yes, classy. (Video is NSFW, or life, really)
With this context in mind… It’s… disturbing…
You can never have too many growlers.
Pale, blonde, Irish growlers…
EXPLODING GROWLERS.
Whoops!

Somebody stop this madness.
We hereby request growlers be referred to as beer jugs in our Irish presence.
