***** Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Now that I have become a beer snob I am left with a myriad of redundant stubbie holders. But drinking from a glass can be a PITA at parties as I found out at a 40th on Saturday night. I am thinking I should make an aroma free brew specially for parties, one that I can swig from a stubbie without lowering myself to drinking what others have termed a megaswill.

Guest Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Stubbie coolers have become decoration round the house / shed Why would you suffer a beer with no aroma? Megaswill or otherwise.. There are plenty of beers,out there (and in here) that taste good out of a bottle.[lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi Nelson. Brew what you always brew, just bottle a few in longneck bottles through a few of your brews. If you are kegging beer from 23L fermenter brews, you must have approx 2-3 litres left over after each brew that you couldn't keg (19 litre kegs?). Take what you think you'll need to these parties in a tall esky (so the bottles remain upright) & with your own glass if necessary. I'm betting most of the guys at these parties that take the time to notice you drinking from a glass will ask you what you are drinking & want to sample your beer. We must edumakate these vile megaswillers into what REAL beer is. [lol] Never Sacrifice Flavour! [rightful] Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Build yourself a jockey box and take that to the party. You will definitely stand out from the crowd then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 A stubbie holder fits a schooner glass nicely - perfect for any party or BBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinS11 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just posting my first post on the Coopers site. I've been a keen Coppers Sparkling Ale drinker for many years, and just discovered the beauty of brewing my own. I really enjoyed my first batch of 'Coopers Sparkling' from a kit and just bottled a 'Coopers Stout' again from a kit with 'Stout enhancer'. Can't wait - I love being a brewer!

***** Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Brew what you always brew, just bottle a few in longneck bottles through a few of your brews.

Take what you think you'll need to these parties in a tall esky (so the bottles remain upright) & with your own glass if necessary. Apart from kegging I still bottle, on account that I only have three kegs, one gas bottle and one kegerator. Currently I have close to 150 litres of beer in glass bottles, 750s, 640s, 500s, 375s, 355s & 330s. At home or at a mates place watching the footy it's no drama. But the other night at a spit roast I was juggling a plate, a bottle opener, a glass and a bottle. Now the beer didn't go warm but my roast went cold. Would have been much easier with a stubbie in a stubbie holder. Anyway I think the English Bitter might be the beer I'm looking for, I might give one a test run on Saturday.

Wal Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Would have been much easier with a stubbie in a stubbie holder. I try to keep a supply of my home brew in stubbies for this very purpose. It's not as good as out of a glass and a bit more of a bother to bottle but far more convienient in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I just take along a 9L keg and pour beer from that and then obviously a glass is needed to pour from the keg... they can stick there megaswill stubbies. However, I do find that I don't get all the keg to myself these days so might have to ramp up to the 19L ones. [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
