Default OT: Beer Growler Car Seat for your 996

I love the fact that someone recoginzes the need to transport beer growlers safely. I love it even more that they chose to model the device in a 996!

I love this forum. I had never heard of a beer growler until now. What an invention!

Growlers are awesome. We have a pizzeria here that refills growlers.

Basically take-out beer. You can fill up your growlers with your favorite local brew and take it home.

Whoohoo! Very nice. I just had a couple of growlers in my car the other day and they kept rolling around. Come to think of it, in Washington State, you can get a ticket for having an open container in your car, growlers included. Since they are not "sealed" you can get busted... You are supposed to keep them in the trunk!

Yeah. Growlers are awesome. 1/2 gallon jugs that you can get filled at your local microbrewery. Or, fill them with homebrew and bring them to a party.
And, transporting them is enough of an issue that someone came up with the growler carseat.

LOL @ Dennis!

interesting point about "open containers" since they never really "seal" and here in Naziville where they all claim to be liberals until it comes to these things I imagine you would have a fight proving the fact that it is not an open container

I guess if you are driving a Porsche you are already in trouble because you most likely are a law breaker to begin with - and environmentally irresponsible



OH and while I am on my box - they also think that dogs dont chase cats unless owned by uneducated trash

I always wondered where the term, 'growler' came from.

Okay, this is the second time I've used this in two days, but I couldn't resist. Here's the answer to your question...
