Ok...can't help it...

When I saw the initials, I wanted to say, "Vladimir Putin will love his new growler".

Hey, somebody had to say it! LOL

G'Day, Thats beautiful    Here in Australia , we call them ' stubby holders' .

I make them with a foam insert...it gets  pretty hot down here    I have also made some with belt loops .  As for the initials, the first thing I thought of is a place here in Oz called ' Kalgoorlie Boulder'. Its  a mining town in the Goldfields here in Oz. 

Lovely work , well done. Great  colour too .

Thanks and how do you use your holders with belt loops?  A full growler weighs about 2 kg - you will need a sturdy belt to keep your trousers from falling down!

Talk about showing up in style, very nice.  Beer folks like us need to keep pace with the wine totes of the world.

That growler tote looks better than the majority of the wine totes I've seen.

That is a huge difference to a regular Aussie stubby, which is around 300 - 385ml. I think the overall weight of a full stubby in a holder, would be around 450 - 550grams, so maybe around 1 pound in weight.

Of course, there are Darwin stubbies, which range from 1.25 - 2.25 litres (almost 77 US fl oz for the big one), but not widely seen.

2L Growlers are widely available in Aus these days,usually at micro breweries,where you can get them refilled when you go back to the brewery. I have a few and I use them mainly when I want to drink my homebrew when I go out so I fill them up from my kegs.Heres a pic

Not something I have ever seen in Australia, but I don't frequent the home brew shops, micro breweries etc.

Thanx for the info Kel.
