Re: Meet Bubba (Mac)
Thanks for the link Mac.
I've got an additional use for empty Bubbas- I refill them with my own home brews. My local supply store sells new empty Bubbas for 10 bucks a piece! :mad:
I just convince my buddies to buy them (full) from the grocery store and conveniently hang around till they're empty-doesn't take long- and recover the bubba for my own use.
They're good for about ten refills before the inner anti-corrosion coating wears off and starts given a metallic taste to the beer.
Come to think of it, it starts to taste like that crap they make down south- what's it called Bogweiser? :cheers:

Meet Bubba (Mike Ward)
Hmmm. 89 views and 4 posts. I think FCR has lurker problems.
I didn't realize Bubba was refillable as I've never purchased one. Since Bubba likely comes with a deposit, you can reuse Bubba until he starts to lose his finish, then return him for deposit! :cheers:

Its the mini keg that looks cool, I don't drink enough to want the beer.
I was thinking that it would be cool to have a couple of bubbas around to make planters or something fun out of......

Re: Meet Bubba (Tom McCabe)
I take it they have been out for awhile as I noticed them for sale at a convenience store near the Quebec NCRS meet.

Had them here for years, they're originally a German invention and product . When I was living in Berlin, I used to carry German beer bubbas to friends here and return with Canadian beer bubbas (not Moleskin) for friends there. Still have and use the empty bubbas. :cheers:

I remember those when I was stationed in Germany. Even had a little wooden keg the can fit into and a tapper handle with a CO2 cartridge. That is a time in my life, what I can remember of it, that I've happily left behind.

Bubba was seen in rural NY today, there was a Bubba pyramid at one of the local grocery stores at a cost of $11.99.

You can get the German Bubbas at the HEB Central Market here in North TX. THey have Bitburger and a couple of others. I just can't drink enough to drink one by myself. Good for a party though
