There's a beer store near me that does something similar, but it's not a "make your own" 6-pack, they make it for you. From beers where maybe a pack got damaged, or someone stole one bottle from a 6-pack in the display case, etc... The same price range as the build your own ones at the grocery store, but 99% of the time it's better beer.

Can you not buy one beer out of a six-pack where you live?

I dunno why, but I see people buying one or two beers all the time at my local supermarket. I guess if you just want a single beer and have really poor self-control, so you know that you'd drink all six if you had them in your fridge?

750ml bottles are bigger than bombers. There are plenty of beers in 750ml bottles in the US, I just don't think we have a particular name for them, at least not one I've heard.

They sell 4.5 litre bottles of bourbon in Dan Murphy's. And check out those reviews: "somewhat just worse then jack daniels ... tastes like wood" "one for the bogan. Unpleasant ... Horrible." "[if] your not fussy then this is your drink." "quite bland and watery." A quality product in a convenient size.

Also, you don't tell anyone that's it's vodka. Let them find out for themselves.

Yeah it is basically the opposite of a keg. You flatten it while pouring it the carboy. Then you flatten the beer while turning it over. Then when you pour some beer, the air bubbles will flatten the rest of the beer. Then you gently caress up the water cooler by putting sugars through the system. Water coolers run anywhere in the range of $60-300+.

If I drank anywhere near that much beer I would be pouring out piping hot beer every 10 minutes or so and you wouldn't even need to press a button.

It won't just be flat, it'll also taste like cat piss if it has been in a clear container for a while.

I know that there are many beers that come in clear bottles, but the taste of those proves my point.

While a few of these are sound (I honestly can't tell the difference between carob and chocolate for example) a lot of these substitutions are the sort of thing medical dietitians will try to sell you on, and I'm convinced they have no idea what food actually tastes like. I've lost track of how many people have tried to tell me that sweet potatoes can substitute regular potatoes, despite neither the flavor or the texture being at all similar between the two.

A lamborghini is also a poor substitute for a '91 pontiac sunfire if you consider 'is exactly the same' as the only criterion.

It is time for you to step up to sweet potatoes.

Yeah, that's the thing. I hate it when people act like these things are straight up replacements but they're still quite good on their own right.

At least they didn't use any of the "substituting cauliflower for real food" hacks :barf:

Roasting any vegetable with oil is a prohack.

Except celery. That didn't turn out very good.
