The action of locating and utilizing a nearby establishment to replenish a reusable container, specifically a growler, with a beverage, often beer, is increasingly common. For example, an individual might search online to identify breweries or taprooms in their immediate vicinity that offer growler refills.
This practice offers several advantages, including supporting local businesses, reducing single-use container waste, and providing access to a wider variety of fresh, often locally-produced beverages. Historically, growlers offered a convenient method for transporting draft beer before widespread bottling and canning, a tradition which is now experiencing a resurgence.
