Get ready for "growlers."

The House on Thursday prepared to pass a bill (SB 186) that would legalize 64-ounce beer containers known as growlers.

The Senate has already approved the bill, which comes after a long-running debate that centers on the state's craft brewers. State law currently prohibits brewers from filling half-gallon growlers for off-site consumption.

Florida allows brewers to fill other size containers, but not the half-gallon size that is considered the most popular.

House members could vote today on the bill, which also includes other beer- and alcohol-related changes.
