Beer Ball

[wheelman21]

Ok guys, I guess these have been around for forever, but I just found out about them. I was in Maine this weekend and found out about Bud Light Draught Balls, aka a party ball or beer ball. I've been looking all over for these things. I live in upstate NY (Binghamton area). Does anyone have any idea where I can get a few of these evasive creatures?

Unless they reissued them,no clue.I am a Bud Light guy,haven't seen one since the days of heavy metal being top 40 stuff.

They still make beer balls??? I used to buy them all the time 20-30 years ago. Haven't seen one now in close to 20 years. I still have a tap for one around here someplace. They were a good size for a small get together.....

Damn Straight!

Yup, used to by the Oly (Olympia) kegs around here back in the 70's and early 80's! Haven't seen one since!

Used to get them at Publix in Tallahassee when I lived there last year. Got a college town near by? They will have party balls.

Its about 55 beers in one ball. Good for me and 3 friends.

I haven't seen one in 15+ years. Bulk beer is a good thing. Every garage should have one.

We used to buy Matt's beer balls back in the day...may want to go to a couple local distributors and ask

The local distributor sells beer balls in my area, along with what I like to call "Mini Kegs"

Never bought either though, I'm a solo drinker (since most of my friends are busy with college). So I just buy 24 or 30 packs of Keystone Ice (cheap effective booze) to feed my thirst.

Occasionally I'll splurge on a nice bottle of Jack Daniels.

U can get mini kegs of Miller lite or Heiniken at Walmart. Havent seen those party balls in years.

I used to get Miller Genuine Draft in those back in 80's. We used to bury them on the beach on Lake Michigan and they'd stay cold until empty. I think they called them party balls.
