It’s a large can of beer. Most places that sell crowlers pour fresh draft in, and can on site. It typically means either very fresh beer (the Crowler I picked up yesterday was from a very fresh beer kegged a few days ago) or specialty beers that won’t get distributed in a way that normal consumers can get it. A beer correctly crowled will last for quite a while (months) if stored correctly. edited to add: a crowled beer is filled all the way to the top, sometimes purged with co2, which is what helps reduce oxidation - compared to a growler, which usually has an air gap.
