Coors Beer Ball

[Suthrncomfrt1884]

I was wondering if anyone on here remembers the old Coors Beer Ball? A friend of mine who's dad homebrews said he uses two 2.5 gallon beer balls instead of kegs. Apparently they can be re-used.

Does anyone know about these things? I've been looking online and can't seem to find anything on them. I'm looking into maybe purchasing one for cookouts and such so I don't have to haul a jockeybox and keg around.

I usually just fill a couple of growlers from my keg.

Would this be something that you were asking about?

Great find!

It's not the coors beer ball, but basically the same concept. Thanks for the link. I'm not sure I like the idea of it being plastic though.

I remember my dad telling me about those years ago but ive never seen one.
The brew store by me sells these http://www.partypig.com/ never used one though.

Eh, party pigs are a nice idea. But the fact that it costs 4 or 5 bucks for a replacement bladder and they can only be used once...sort of a waste of money.
