Feel a little lost with all the knowledge and random acronyms tossed out there about beer? Then let us break it down. 

• ABV- This stands for "Alcohol by Volume" which you can see from our site and beer bards is marked in percentages. Legally we have to tell you the ratio between the alcohol in the beer and the other ingredients like water, hops, and all the other good stuff! 

• IBU- This stands for "International Bitterness Unit". In a beer like an IPA which gets its "bitter" taste, there will be a high IBU. The scale goes from 0-100. So an IPA may be up in the 80s. This can help you somewhat navigate which beet to choose if you aren't a fan of hoppy beers. 

• Growler-Simply put, a growler is a vessel to carry scrumptious beer on the go! They can be made of glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. The name growler has been long debated as to where it came from, but one story states it came from the "growling" noise the pails used to carry beer back in the later 1800s, made this noise when opened and a hiss sort of escaped out of the container due to the pent up CO2.
