    I won this giant Sam Adams display mug at a beer festival back in May. I have been researching it to get some info as to how many actually exist and can't find anything. Anyone out there ever see any of these mugs? Anyone else have one in their possession? Cheers! ...and no unfortunately I cannot fill it with beer.. It has no bottom :slight_frown:

    Nice mug. To bad you can't drink out of it.

    That's pretty cool. Is it about 3' tall? It's kinda hard to tell

    You're right on the money. It's exactly 3ft tall

    How much does it weigh?

    Sorry I know this is no help, it's just a very unique item.

    It's quite heavy. I'd say between 25 and 30 pounds.

    That sounds like a challenge. I think someone needs to calculate the volume of that thing and then fill it with some Drink'in in The Snow or some Drink'in The Sun.

    Fill it with bottles. Cover the top and presto, you've got a cellar!

    Is that supposed to be a mug or an umbrella stand? Either way, I'd wouldn't mind having one myself.

    My store had one of those. Distributor rep donated it for a raffle we held. I desperately wanted to steal it for an end table

    That looks like an inconvenience unless, like others said above, turn it into something useful.

    We have one at the bottle shop/bar I work at. It was given to us by a SA rep. As far as I know as long as you're a retailer and serve SA you can ask for one of these. Still, wish I had one! Super badass. I've gotta take a picture of the 3' SA oktoberfest stein we have in our bar...now THAT thing is badass!

    It's pretty much a side table.
