Last time I was in Holland in January, Julie and I went to the New Holland Brewing Company. I bought a growler of beer for the weekend, and then filled it up again on the way home. Before the trip, I had no idea what a growler was, and I thought it a delightful way to transport delicious beer.

I brought my growler with me again this week, and we stopped on the way home for some oatmeal stout. So now it's a tradition.
