I’ve got one of Dan’s Foster pots – great for going SUL, but I use it almost as often when evangelizing about UL backpacking.  Even to someone who has fondled titanium cookware at REI, it’s bizarrely light for it’s volume yet reasonable stiff.

I also love the dumpster-diving ethos of it.

[J-L]

I’ll buy one.

[Adam Kilpatrick]

I have a couple of these pots as well. Like David says, they are amazing. I’ve also pulled it out to Evangelize to other hikers! Awesome when you have a ~20L pack with gear and food for a couple of days, and they at first think you are out for a short day hike and aren’t as hardcore as them with their big packs ;-)

[Brett Cooper]

I will take one.

[Scott Kilcoyne]

I’ll take one.

[Jeff McWilliams]

I’m in.

Thank you everyone for comments and wanting to own a piece of history. Lots of folks out there have used my idea of adding ridges to pots Trail Designs, Minibull and others. When the Heineken Keg became obsolete, something had to take it’s place and so enter the ridged Foster cans.

I created a sale page on my site that only BPL viewers can see and order from.

[DAN-Y]

A little bit of remaining beer/ale and a little “good times were had” 

All 7 orders are in the post office and will start their way all across the USA

The blokes in the UK will have to make their own 

Normin, do you wear a hat/derby ?

ONLY ONE FOSTER POT LEFT

 

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PURCHASED.

Not Foster, it’s Fosters. Even if the S has been removed.

If you are going to sell some history…….Check out the brothers this beer this was named after.

You Americans may be surprised at the connection……mentioned in the first paragraph under “History”.

I remember these as stainless steel tins about 500 mls.  We used to stand on the empties as kids in the 1970s to see at the footy in Footscray (in Melbourne) better.

Hope you sell that last one.

[DAN-Y]

Ok…..History:
It was founded in Melbourne in 1888 by two American brothers William and Ralph Foster of New York, who happened to own a refrigeration plant. Cooling was necessary to brew and store acceptable lagers in Australia’s hot climate, unlike the English-style dark ales commonly brewed at the time.

After I put the ridges on them it became known as the Foster Pot  Named after William and Ralph.

More history, 1st batch produced back in 2011:

I will take the last one!

[DAN-Y]

Thank you JP. I’ll ship it out today :-)

We used to stand on the empties as kids in the 1970s to see at the footy in Footscray (in Melbourne) better.

I had to google “footy in Footscray” and found this:

Here is some footy action, only highlights unfortunately. Western Bulldogs (originally Footscray) won the equivalent of the Super Bowl, there are around 100,000 people at the Grand Final and 100,000 at each of the finals games leading up to it.

An entire game if you are willing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wuY-K8i0hs

shows the contrast between two football codes well. NFL stop (more stop than start I say) start,

AFL just rolls on and on.

It was the year the bulldogs won the competition.  Fosters was made about 5 kms from there.

[DAN-Y]

AFL just rolls on and on.

That was fun to watch…….thanks!

A few years ago, on another forum, an Aussie said the taste of Foster’s is not liked in Au. Maybe that’s why the company moved to the USA….what say ye to that?
