• You still see them around a fair bit, they were a bit flimsy but really, how hardwearing does a bottle for home use have to be. and obviously they were reusable too, that's the whole point. i think my dad's built up quite a collection over the years, i'll see if they accept them at the brewdog bar or if it has to be official ones. i have my suspicions...

• Growlers are a popular thing with craft beer bars in America from what i've noticed from my travels there. You pay for the growler with the understanding that you are going to be a repeat customer who is going to come back again and again to fill the growler and then take it home. I wish that growlers became more popular here because i sometimes have to drive to find good beer but i don't like drinking and driving so growlers sound ideal! A couple of pubs near me do the real ale cartons which are good but they are quite flimsy and only have a small plastic clip on top to seal it.

• Richard. The growlers are I think re-usable. Use it 100 times and it has cost you a tenth of the price of your olde timee real ale container, to take your execellent craft beer home.

• Richard: was this in the 1940s by any chance?

• I love Brewdog (and esp Brewdog Edinburgh), but i was on there the other day and noticed the the 'growlers' are on sale for £10. is this right? real ale places often did 4-pint containers you could use to take beer home in, they cost about a quid. I normally find Brewdog beers to be excellent value (I honestly think hardcore ipa is about the best value beer out there), but the price for growlers seems unbelievable. did i read it wrong?
