“There are reasons your jetsetting beer snob pals are now lugging around giant cans (via Bon Appétit Magazine) ” – My Comments : Natalie brought me my first crowler not too long ago from the awesome STRANGEWAYS BREWING. Surprisingly enough, I can think of a couple of places in Southern MD where I can fill up a growler (Ruddy Duck Brewery & Grill, another favorite of mine, comes immediately to mind). I don’t know that I’ve seen anyone with a crowler machine, though.
