What is defined as a securely covered container with a capacity of not more than two gallons?

The correct definition of a securely covered container with a capacity of not more than two gallons is indeed a growler. In the context of the OLCC, a growler is typically used for transporting draft beer or other beverages, and it has to be designed to ensure that the contents are protected from contamination and remain fresh. The two-gallon capacity limit emphasizes the size that is practical for both transport and consumption, distinguishing it from larger containers that are often used for different purposes.

A growler's secure closure is an important feature that helps maintain the quality and carbonation of the beverage inside, and it’s specifically designed to be used in settings such as breweries or taprooms. Other types of containers like carafes, jars, or vessels may meet different specifications or volumes and may not be specifically designed for the same purpose as a growler, which is pivotal in the regulation of transporting alcoholic beverages. Understanding these distinctions is essential for anyone working with alcohol in Oregon, as this knowledge is vital for compliance with OLCC regulations.
