    1 Full Size (64 oz)
    6 Half Size (32 oz)
    1 Quarter Size (16 oz)

    Though I purged a few 64 oz ones between moving to NYC area (Hoboken) and back just to make space.

    Mostly they just sit empty in my beer storage area but I occasionally bring them when traveling to get fills from places that do not bottle/can and I want the opportunity to try.

    My reason for so many 32 oz ones is that my brother-in-law was living in Asheville, so I would swap out 2-4 with him each time he came home filled with Wicked Weed beers.

    Since MA doesn't allow filling of outside growlers I am very selective so I don't get too many. I have 2 Treehouse, 1 Trillium, 1 Mistic, 1 Medusa, and 1 Jack's Abby. I won't entertain another unless I get rid of one I have.

    Real growlers (i.e., not glass jugs)?

    Upwards of 100. Use to collect them.... they take up too much space though. Now I prefer to only hold onto 750's

    Three that are 64 oz. but I used one as part of a light fixture.

    My growler/howler stash has gotten annoying and I dont even have that many (7).

    Hill Farmstead 2L
    Hill Farmstead 750ml
    Toppling Goliath 64oz
    Ram 2L
    Ram 64oz
    Half-Acre 32oz X2

    I just want one grolwer and one howler, but some breweries just refuse to fill others' growlers.

    I'm with Sweatshirt. In Mass the only growler fill allowed is into a brewery labeled growler. So I have at least 10 different growlers. I just visited Maryland where Old Line Spirits in Beltsville filled my growler and simply placed a sticker over the label. Wish I could do that in Mass.

    Can you get a growler with no label filled?

    WOW! I suppose that only a place with a name like Twin Elephant would have a growler that holds 132 oz. :slight_smile: I have never seen one that size.

    I have a bunch of growlers that don't get used. Growlers are dying out. Its too much beer. Plus if the beer is made in large enough quantities to be sold 64oz at a time then its practically macro and I don't even wanna drink it.:slight_smile:

    I used to drive around with 16 in the trunk of my car because I never knew where I'd end up and breweries in PA used to make you use their own growlers. Iron Hill might have been the last hold out on that, or for all I know, they might still make you use their own glass. I'm guessing there's at least 30 in my basement! The only ones I really use now are the smaller 32 oz. ones because they're easier to carry, and easier to drink in a short period. I'll also have to dig them out at one point and recycle them, but that's such a waste, and to be honest, that's the entire reason that I stopped buying growlers from Iron Hill about 15 years ago.

    Only two. One from the Lunar in Villa Park (which really needs to be refilled) and one from the Great Dane in Madison. I have latched onto the Crowler craze :slight_smile:
