"Growler"

[paul johnson]

Sometime during the second world war I felt pretty proud and a sign of 
growing up when my grandfather sent me three blocks to the local tavern 
in Chicago to get him a beer.  A growler then was a squat bucket with a 
lid and a bail handle, maybe held a quart and a half of beer.  I was 
probably 6 or 7.  Later on I read that was called "Rushing the Growler"
