My best memory of a Beerball was some dude in the dorm having no tap deciding that if he stabbed a hole in the top of the thing it could be “poured” out. Knife was hammered into the top and beer exploded everywhere.... not exactly a brilliant move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQW87 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 We used to bring them to the Bills games in the late 80's and park over by the old practice bubble. At the end of the game it was tradition that when it was empty we used to punt it on to the practice bubble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 We went through many of those things. The beer was drinkable and priced right. I liked their Maximus Super as well. Matts brewing now makes the Saranac line of beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I'm 43 and these were very popular back in my day. Better drink the whole thing, don't leave it for tomorrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandBillsFan Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'm 38. Never drank from them but remember seeing them at block parties. I remember them being a clear orangish color. Are they no longer available? if so, some beer manufacturer should bring them back and capitalize on the nostalgia market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I thought 'beerballs' was the term applied to you when you drunkenly think you're tough, and some bigger person promptly 'cleans your clock'. 🤔 Edited April 17, 2021 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I imagine these were a staple at Rich Stadium tailgates during the Super Bowl years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 55 cans of beer. Just get a big cooler. @Beerball's are SOO obsolete. For only 400 bucks you can get a 65qt. YETI, it will hold your sammiches too and ice for 10 days... AND you'll look super cool unlike those old ancient @Beerball's that just make you look like an alcoholic... 😆 9 minutes ago, BillsPride12 said: I imagine these were a staple at Rich Stadium tailgates during the Super Bowl years Earlier... Before my time, but I heard stories that you were allowed to bring small kegs into The Rockpile. INTO the stadium. Now Rich, winter parka could easily conceal at least a 6-pack if not more... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
