Loved these things. Killed one with three buddies in the parking lot before the Bills’ home opener in 1990 and one of the guys slept through the entire game. 

 

Good times...

Loved the beerball!

 

Used to work at Tops in the mid 80’s and they were a staple at the parking lot parties!  Also great for Bills games and camping at Allegany!

This sounds like something @BringBackFergy would do.  He's been known to nap at tailgates.

Have to love Beerballs.  I remember a guy in the dorm when lacking a tap came up with the genius idea of “tapping” the thing with a hunting knife.  The Beerball exploded and everything in the room was covered in fine beer.

Empty beerball + empty 3 liter + some light engineering = gravity bong of doom!

By fine you mean a mist.

In a way yes, a sticky and eventually very smelly mist.  The odor of beerballs is not so fine.

I have heard the same. The longer it stays around the worse it gets!

Stale beer smells very similar ro dried vomit, IMO.  Our house in Ithaca always smelled like one or the other, or both.

Back when people were normal and not out of control... One could actually bring a beerball into the Rockpile. 

 

Imagine doing that today.  

You are imagining bringing a nonexistent product into a nonexistent venue.  Imagine that.

Yeah the guys dorm in college always held the stench of sweat, stale beer and vomit.  I am surprised that the thing was not considered a superfund site.

When you were in College, yes.  As my roommate and best friend (still go to Bills games with him today) back then said “Cheap beer is good beer and free beer is always better!!”

Kegs bit heavy!  1/4 keg?

 

Unfortunately the old guy is dead (neighbor across the street where we lived)... I could of swore he said "beerball."

 

Which... Would have been prior to 1973 @ Rockpile.  You sure they didn't make them earlier?
