Should they sell beer in a 2 liter bottle?

[JVS]

I'm beginning to think that the 12 oz beer is wasteful packaging. Whenever I go to a friend's house to drink some beer, we always end up with at least 5 empties. We might as well have had a single 2 liter bottle instead. You could consider it the equivalent of a pitcher, just waiting in your fridge.

[joneschick]

1. yes, but a bucket of local brew would be a nice change too.

:toast:

[jakefrep]

2. We already have 40's...why not?

[JVS]

4. The 40 is like one of those annoying little pitchers at some bars. It also costs more...

than the 24 oz cans usually.

I know because I have comparison shopped for Steel Reserve 211

[DS1]

17. Comparison shopped for Steel Reserve?

I'm glad you're out of your dark place. :hug:

[JVS]

20. $2.29 for the 40 is not a good deal when the 24 is 99¢

Of course the $5.68 12 pack of 12 ozers is even better, and people love opening a fridge with that stuff in it.

[DS1]

21. It gets you fucked up fast, once you get over the taste

2 of the big cans are all it takes. 3 and you're playing with fire.

[JVS]

24. Go to a football tailgate with Steel Reserve or St. Ides instead of regular beer.

You'll have a much different experience. An experience that lets you understand how sports-riots start.

[datasuspect]

29. with a cisco chaser

hell yeah.

[JVS]

30. liquid crack

[jakefrep]

37. nah, you need Thunderbird for that....

...especially if it comes in a box.

[flvegan]

3. Also wouldn't need the cardboard to hold the bottles/cans.

Brilliant idea.

[JVS]

5. It would be just like picking up a 2 liter of coke, but intoxicatingly delicious.

Maybe some of the packaging savings could be passed on to us too!

[flvegan]

6. Hey, think of the savings in weight, trucking it around. This is a GREEN idea!

That's even more savings for the end consumer.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. they always say the best green options are the ones that are win-win!

it's certainly one I'm on board for to do my part :patriot:

[Carnea]

7. We need boxed beer like we do wine.

:hide:

[JVS]

9. I don't think the plastic bladder system would work with a carbonated beverage.

we already have 5 liter mini kegs that are the same capacity as a franzia box.

[Shell Beau]

10. Well, if you look at it from a stand point of keeping the beer colder

longer, you got to go with the smaller size. :shrug:

[JVS]

11. That encourages slow drinking of beer, which I am told is a sin.

[Shell Beau]

12. No, it means you are savoring it.

:9


:P

[JVS]

13. I savor a pitcher too, what's wrong with that?

[Shell Beau]

14. Well I am a dainty savorer!

(Is that a word?)

[JVS]

16. Well we all shouldn't have to buy little beers just becaus you're dainty

They still sell 7ozers even though most people like 12's ok. There can still be some 12's but a cheap and luscious 2 liter would really help a lot of us out.

[Shell Beau]

18. I am a 12 oz. gal, and have been known to drink a 16 oz.er!!

[Throd]

15. Doesn't anybody remember Little King's Cream Ale in the 64oz jug?

or Haffenreffer? Or Olde English 800 for that matter.

Sapporo used to have a 2 liter can.

I like the 5 liter mini kegs from Germany. Quite a deal.

[democracyindanger]

19. They have for years

Asahi, Sapporo mini-kegs. Heineken got in on the act a few years back.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. Large beer containers are the tool of the devil.

[taterguy]

27. The perfect beverage for that spawn of Satan JVS

[TheMightyFavog]

23. I've seen hard cider sold in 2 liter bottles when I was in the UK last year...

But, usually that was very cheap shitty cider. :puke:

[JVS]

25. They even have 3 liter bottles of frost jack 7.5%

[AngryAmish]

26. you rent beer

[Midlodemocrat]

28. You gotta get that five litre Heinken keg thing.

I think someone even sells a dispenser for it.

[Tektonik]

42. WHAT you don't have a Beertender? I revoke your freeperhood.

[ghostsofgiants]

43. If you can put non-beer beverages in there, I want one!

[Tektonik]

44. If you're willing to pay 279.99 for it I'm sure you can find a way

:o

[ghostsofgiants]

45. It's on the list of shit I don't need but really want.

:P

[poliscifanboy]

31. they should sell it in gallon jugs

just like milk....I would be tickled pink.

[Symarip]

32. Didn't they have 64's for a while?

I seem to remember obtaining oversized Mickey's bottles in high school.

[NJmaverick]

33. Well from a practical point of view

the bottle would be heavy, and would tend to get warm and go flat.

[JVS]

34. PET isn't heavy

[NJmaverick]

35. I don't know, from what I have read there are still problems to work out

36. Like other public utilities, it should be piped directly into your house. nt

[jakefrep]

38. Municipal Brewmaster....

now THAT's a job!

[Connonym]

48. Yeah, we have that in Milwaukee

not really but that would be pretty cool

[kentauros]

39. They should sell it in an IV drip

with a side of DMSO for tasting it :P

[Orsino]

40. No. It would be too crowded. n/t

[DarkTirade]

41. They have half-gallon growlers at my local supermarket

they come from a brewery right here in town. Don't know if they're any good, because I never drink enough to justify buying one. :P

[sniffa]

46. How many liters is 40Oz?

Private Stock used to have 64Oz handles.

[JVS]

47. 1.18

I know because I've been to Quebec
