    The 64 oz. glass beer jug is a growler. Everyone calls it a growler. It seems to be the universally accepted name.

    However, 32 oz. growlers are becoming more and more common, but these receptacles don't have a universally-accepted name. So I'm just curious... what is the most widely-used descriptor for these vessels? I think growlette may be the most commonly used name simply based on my own observations. I prefer grumbler myself.

    What do you call them?

    32 oz. Growler, if it's glass. The plastic ones are bullets.

    I call it a shorty. Come to think of it, I'm not sure where I picked that up.
