Poll question: Should they sell beer in a 2 liter bottle? |
|
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

That's even more savings for the end consumer.

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

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:

|
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.

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.

33. Well from a practical point of view |

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

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
