Beer not only tends to create fools but is meant to be foolproof. You know, just crack the can or bottle and swig it down. Or just visit a pub.
Then this 5 litre monster lands on my doorstep. Wow, that reminds me of my student days although I never did manage ten pints – about five litres – in one session.
I pull out the knob, twidle the thingy and the beers only dribbles out. I’m meant to piece a rubbery bit at the top but my skewer pushes it into the beer.
party time! Actually it wasn’t and I plugged the hole with a sparklet. Everytime I poured a glass it left a yellow puddle on the floor of my fridge. Also you need a bloody massive fridge to fit this in.
These things are probably best for parties than everyday drinking and the beer is good and under $30. Also there is less fizz than in bottled beer.
Because of my balls up it lost some fizz over a few days. And that made it taste like Fresh Beer, which I really enjoyed in the backstreets of Hanoi earlier this year.
