"Cold" beer not worth entire mug

What's better than being a kid at a bowling alley with a solid guarantee of hitting at least one pin because of those handy bumpers? Being an adult at a bowling alley, drinking beer with friends and endless laughter over those hilarious gutter balls and miscalculated spares. The latter set the scene of yesterday evening: Kegler's Lanes with pitchers all around.

But what's this?














No seriously, what IS that thing?


Turns out, the menu explains exactly what it is.


But wait! It takes up the space of an entire mug of beer! And it doesn't really keep the beer that cold! After much knuckle wringing and deliberation amongst fellow bowlers, we knew what had to be done: the TU was thrown. (Click the image for the full awesomeness that is a TU under black light.)


It's one of the seven deadly sins, Kegler's: make like Uncle Joey and cut it out. Keep the cold in the icebox and give us back our beer!

WHAT!? THAT IS MADNESS! I'd unscrew the damned thing and throw it at them!

Welcome to the 21st Century Pepper and Mandy. If you will notice, the pitchers hold the exact same amount of beer because they are larger in size than a typical pitcher. These things have been around for decades... Tighten up your beer drinking knowledge!

I didn't even notice the frosty mug in the first picture. I would argue that Kegler's lanes is one of the tightest beer drinking in a bowling alley experiences you can have...

Hmm.... I want to see volume comparisons and buoyancy tests!

Pepper said...

doubt it, Pete, doubt it. i'm with Mandy: I want the volume comparisons.

i demand a colloquium of tightness.

Hey, Pete, why don't you shut the fuck up.

Both hold 60 ounces of sweet release. Trust me people. Trust me.

If you don't, check kegworks.com or any other dozen websites that retail beer accesories for some edumacation.
