You don't carbonate in a growler right?

Growler - Amber with Glass Handle 2 Liter - Beer Bottling & Racking - High Gravity

Something like this would be used to just transport beer from a keg right? .. You wouldn't bottle beer directly to this and let it carbonate.... would you?

I think you'd have more luck with that type of growler compared to a twist top. But I don't think I'd bother trying.

$16.50 to bottle 4 pints of beer is pretty steep, but it'll hold the pressure.

Edit:
I have two flip top growler (got'em on the cheap) and have used them in the past to carbonate beer, but now only use them to transport. They look a bit classier when you go to a BYO restaurant.

for my first batch i actually bottle conditioned in 2 of these. one of the bottles stayed in tact but the other didn't. the rubber seal couldn't take the pressure and was forced off to the side. needless to say i didn't drink from that bottle. i've never bottled in a growler since.

I bottled two growlers worth of Ed's Haus Pale and they carbonated and held pressure just fine. My growler's look like this:

That style is just fine to bottle in if you want to spend the money. The traditional brewpub growler is only for transport and short term storage. Very different containers.
