Who remembers these?

[bill ace 350]

5 gallons of beer in a plastic keg with tap, inside of a waxed cardboard box to hold ice.

The good old days....

We'd be boating and the empties would go floating by.

 

[SmokinEdge]

Yup, emptied my fair share of those.

Beer balls were incredibly popular here with boaters back in the day. Aquapalooza wouldn't even exist without that invention.

Before my time. Wonder if it was any good?

Back in my much younger days, 3 of my buddies and I got one and determined to finish it by ourselves on evening. Well, we drank and drank, bs'd the whole night with the music blaring. I was the first to wake up in the morning and looked around. The others crashed where ever the passed out, as did I. I searched for the beer to see if we succeeded only to find out we didn't. About two glassfuls left. One not to let the others know we had failed, I drank the last of beer for breakfast before they woke up.

Never attempted that feat again, nor will I in the future.

They did the trick! Quantity over quality won back then!

Sadly, I'm old enough to remember those, lol.

I have seen other mini kegs in my time but have never seen those impressive ones before.

BA350, I might have consumed a few of those back in the day ! :)

Depending on what beer was in it, if it was Matts like the OP post then you would get the Matt splatts the next day in the bathroom...lol

Kinda like bud mud!

Wonder what the other 2 "great" draft beers are? Never heard of Matt's. I know Coors Light used to come in a ball. That is my least favorite beer so I did not partake. I bought my Old Milwaukee Light in 12oz or 32 oz size.
