Seems the growlers are take home beer bottles (or containers) of sort. \u00a0They are sold at microbreweries so one can take home “fresh” beer.<\/p>\n
The Bottle Shop’s version of the origin of the word varies slightly from Wikipedias. \u00a0 The store version had the origin of the word dating back to the day when people would come into a pub for their beer, be impatient, and “growl” for it. \u00a0 Wikipedia takes exception to this story, and states that the name came from the sound the beer made, sloshing around in a (at that time) galvanized bucket….the CO2 gas being released from the lid seemed to “growl.”<\/p>\n
No matter. \u00a0We sampled some wine, and parked our butts at a table by the window, and picked at some of the Bottle Shop’s local noshes – a pretzel platter, with mustard and cheese sauce, and a bit of pate (“I can drink it all day”) – all were quite tasty. \u00a0I would have liked to have tried their charcuterie (and will someday).<\/p>\n
These folks seem really great, knowledgeable about their wines, and prices are reasonable. \u00a0I suggest when you are wine hunting to make the Portland Bottle Shop one of your first stops.<\/p>\n
You’ll fine them at\u00a07960 SE 13TH Ave. in Portland.<\/p>\n
