'Lucky' Lachlan Toose is the winner of our competition to create an original story of how beer growlers got their name.
The prize is that Ben Kraus, brewer at Bridge Road Brewery, will officially launch our home delivery service tomorrow night by filling a growler with his new Anniversary Ale (Black Saison) and then delivering it on our vintage delivery bicycle to Lachlan at his nearby home.
For the record, this is Lachlan's imaginative story:
Growler (grou-lerr)
n. pl. growlers
1. 1.89L refillable beer bottle
etymology; In 1837, a retired Scottish fisherman used to walk to a different pub each night with his rabid dog. He would demand they fill up an old gallon bucket he carried with beer or he would sick his dog on them. He would drink half the beer there, and leave with the rest. This soon became local legend, and as he would leave, the patrons would call after him, "There goes Paddy with his Growler"
Growlers will be home delivered from on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from this week. More information will be posted here before this Friday.
If you live in our delivery zone, hopefully you'll get a flyer delivered to your mailbox soon.
