smc1313s Posted November 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2013 The 101 oz. beer tubes seem to be a really good value compared to buying individuals. I have a question though, does it stay cold? There's nothing worse than warm beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted November 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I would think they would get warm. That's why you have to chug them....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing worse than warm beer! Drink it fast :p. It's like ordering a pitcher, nothing to keep it cold. I drank one by myself once (just to say I did it) and it stayed cold for the 45 minutes it took me to drink it...at least I think it did LOL. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicermcurran Posted November 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Okay might be a weird question but can you share a beer tube? If I order one and my husband and I want to split it, will they give you multiple glasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted November 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Why not just share it....but the tube and get glasses to share. If they won't give them to you at the bar then just stop in the buffet and grab a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they finish one (keep in mind, there are about 6 glasses in a tube), they order another cold one :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2013LibertyCruiser Posted November 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hmmm. 101 oz. is 6 normal pints, at 16oz each. According to the Red Frog menu though, they serve 19oz "pints", so you're getting a 3oz bonus when served...so provided they use the same glasses, 101/19 comes out to roughly 5 pints. 6 19oz RF "pints" would be a total of 114oz, at 5.50/pint for $33. 5 19oz RF "pints" would be a total of 95oz, at 5.50/pint for $27.50. If it's roughly 5 pints plus a little more, you're getting about 6 extra ounces for $0.50. Seems effectively to be the same prices as individuals, except it comes in the tube. As someone who has been to restaurants that offer the tubes, even with a group of 3-4 people, they go pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been to restaurants that offer the tubes, even with a group of 3-4 people, they go pretty quickly. You are correct on your math. It really is not that much of a deal when you compare it to the pints from the bar. I was basing it on buying single bottles of Bud Light, which are 12 oz. each at $5.75, which is what I normally do. Of course I know you can get a bucket at a discount which I do also sometimes, and I forget the discount at the moment. So to me it seems to be a better value.

Smart Arsenal Fan Posted November 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Drink it fast :p. It's like ordering a pitcher, nothing to keep it cold. I drank one by myself once (just to say I did it) and it stayed cold for the 45 minutes it took me to drink it...at least I think it did LOL. :eek: The ones I've had in the past had an inner tube inside the beer tube, for ice, keeping it super frosty cold. :D You mean these ones do not have that? Bummer. Yeah, I'd need to share then, cause I hate warm beer. Edited November 18, 2013 by Smart Arsenal Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulamc Posted November 18, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 18, 2013 We order these locally - once they get down to about 80 ounces the bartender puts a "chill stick" in the tube to keep the beer nice and cool. Don't know about Carnival though, but definitely ask! I agree, nothing worse than warm beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
