Bottles or Keg?

Recommended Posts

I like CC's suggestion, but I'd go with different beers. Maybe 1 case of Sam and 1 case Heneken, plus I'd go with some other light beer besides Coors- Miller, maybe? And maybe go with a little more wine- 5 bottles is about half a bottle for each "wine drinking" guest which is fine for dinner, but a party? Your guests might want more than 2 glasses of wine. Don't do box wine or the gallon jugs either! You can get decent wine in the $7-$10 range, and I'm amazed at how many people are getting into their wine these days.

It does. But even when you say "don't bring anything" often people still feel the need to not show up empty-handed, so you may also find yourself with a few random six-packs or bottles on wine on hand in addition to what you buy.

I agree with bottles for this crowd - then you've got leftovers for the DZ if there's extra. Costco can be a great source for the wine, too... lots of decent, cheap 1.5 L bottles available there.

I normally do not drink keg beer.It would probably be ok if you could keep everyones hands off of the damn pump.You can order them at most liquor stores.

You don;t drink keg beer? Well, how do you drink your Guiness then?! :P

seriously though, do you ever go to a microbrew? They usually serve that from a keg, not a bottle.

In anycase, skymama...buy a bunch of cases with a selection of different beers...or just get a quarter keg (not the usual half) and a couple of cases for variety.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

Andrea, since this is a birthday party for someone special, so you should definitely provide the guests with some drinks. :)
Is this going to be a fairly casual party? What kind of food will be at this party? For instance, if you have a sit-down dinner, you can provide wine bottles at the table. The wine is passed around/shared by the table occupants. If you aren't planning on having a meal, then have a special table set up with drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

Will there be a toast made for the guest of honor? If money is an issue, then I would set up a little area with bottled beer and soft drinks. Bring in champagne for a toast, later on. It would be a very nice surprise for everyone!

If all else fails, just set up a keg and feed them monkey fries and step back. :D (Just kidding!)

Well, do you want to do keg-stands, or beer-bongs? keep in mind...you can do beer-bongs with a keg, but you can't do keg-stands with bottles...

hmmm....

My cohort for the party just called. She wants to save money and buy Budweiser in the can. :|

I'm all for saving money, but I'm not going to look cheap!

Well, she's the hostess too. The party is for my bf, and she is his sister. He won't even drink a can of Bud, there's no way I'm going to serve it at his party!

What a snob... You should dump him.



But he mowed my lawn when I had my broken wrists and he brings my son home from soccer practice sometimes. He comes in handy occasionally. :P

That makes me laugh because Chuckie calls Budweiser "Buttwiper"!:D He won't touch it either - even if it's the last beer at the boogie (because he will go beer fishing at 2 am):o:ph34r:

If you go with Bud cans, I will never talk to you again!



No way will I agree to that. The amount we'd be saving is not worth the humiliation!
