Hello

Does anyone know why you can't buy beer in 2 litre (or more!) containers?

If you are having a party, it would stop the faffing about with cans or little 330ml bottles and must be cheaper?

You can get litre bottles of Stella, Bud etc here...it goes flat and gets warm before you finish though

ProperCharlie

You can get a keg and tap from some places and set up a pub stylee bar. can be a bit of a faff though - if you get the amount of gas wrong you end up drinking pure froth.

other than that, you used to be able to get 5 litre party kegs of Dab. they came with thier own tap, or you could stab it with a nail and go for the shotgun effect

1.5 Litre schwing-top bottles of Grolsch are readily available at all good off-licences, and supermarkets.

Many of the microbreweries here in the US sell their beer in refillable 1/2-gallon bottles called "growlers". It's fun to take two down to the pub, have a few beers, than have them fill the growlers - lets you take the brewery home with you.

Lizard - I'm growling already at the thought

You can buy stella barrels from supermarkets, holds about 8 pints for £16.
Else you can buy big bottles of grolsch for about £5 :-/

Yeah, Stella one's are good.

They're about £15 from Tescos etc..

you'd be amazed how quickly you can get through a 50 litre barrel from your local brewery. Took me a week (with a little help from my friends)

Aren't Fosters thinking of doing a refillable keg jobby that hold approx 35 pints and is self-cooling if you add water to the jacket around it? (chemical reaction chills it) - it was advertised in the paper by Phil Tufnell (wonder why? )

AC - I once nearly got a half barrel or real ale (proper stuff) but realised it'd probably go off before I got through it

As mentioned above the stella mini kegs, dont bother with them though, they are crap. 90% froth even when stored and poured correctly.

Hello

Thank you for your replies. I still think there is a market for 2 litre plastic bottles of Fosters (or some other low-alcohol beer).

The beer shouldn't loose it's "fizz" if consumed within a day or so.

I'm off to write to the breweries .. !

Hello

Well, since I got into wireless internet connections then, yes, the park bench is my friend.

The bottle idea is really for parties.
