Pub Pet usually.

I thought you meant taking the dogs to the pub.

Growler

Rigger

Interesting little read here:

I think in some places (Aus?) they call the 1 litre ones squealers and larger ones growlers?

Hmm Growler to me is something else... Checkout urban dictionary if you dont know what it means...

The glass 1l ones i call firkins, the 2l glass growlers.

Good George call their 936mm glass bottles squealers.

Not sure about the PET ones.

There was (is?) a pub in London, can't remember the name, might have been the Frog & Firkin that sold Tshirts that said "Frog Od's Sake, Buy Me a Firkin Pint".

I still remember back when my Dad use to get his glass ones filled at the pub referring to them as Flagons. I still consider them as flagons even though I know the commonly used term (the one I've heard the most anyway) is growler.

Here's a pic of my growler..a 64oz beauty from Drinktanks. Mine has a sugar skull image on the side of it and the 2 cups that come with it to celebrate Day of the Dead.

To me its been always been 1L = Flagon, 2-2.25L = Rigger. At least that's whats in my mind. The term Growler, to me at least, is a more recent thing, like past decade/15 years. I've been hearing/using Flagon and Rigger, mostly Rigger, since the 90s.

Growlers, also, tend to have handles where as Flagons and Riggers don't. At least that's the distinction in my head.

Large Bottle and Very Large Bottle are generally what I call them...

I tend to refer to them as either riggers or flagon's.

On a slightly related note, for those that like a crafty drop, a place (Mean Doses) on Tory St in wellington is\was selling Stainless Steel vessels. 1L and 2L growlers and a 2L mini keg.

Yep, in Notting Hill. 

I was a frequent patron on Saturday nights.  They had an Australian guy called Tim Barton playing covers.

No longer there sadly, turned into apartments like  so many English pubs.

Kept the t-shirt for nostalgia's sake though.

PS - A firkin is a 9 gallon barrel or cask.

Jonski: there are a thousand names for these, what do you call them?
