Efes Pilsen Beer Bottle = Oversized!
Most people who travel to Australia marvel at the invention that is the Stubbie Cooler.
These are typically made of wetsuit-like material that is used to keep your beer cold longer, whilst making it comfortable to hold. Most standard beer bottles will fit into one of these coolers – except for one.
Efes Pilsen is a Turkish Beer – and quite a nice drop. It’s nice to have one after you’ve finished haggling for a carpet. Unfortunately, Efes Pilsen is usually contained in a 500 ml bottle that is way too wide for any Stubbie Cooler, hence, one has to drink it faster before it warms up.
The Efes Pilsen Beer Bottle
I’ve included a picture of a 500 ml Efes bottle on top of one of my dodgy standard stubbie coolers below.
I guess there is a market out there for an enterprising individual to produce Efes Pilsen-fitting stubbie coolers!
You could use it in conjunction with this ‘Buy Me A Beer, I’m Turkish’ T-Shirt.

I’d like to try this beer. I wonder I where can I get a six pack of Efes beer bottle here in Sydney? Do they even sell this beer in Australia?

Who knew that Turkey of all places was the stop to get a good beer? LOL Thanks for the heads up. And by the way, I find it very sad that you have to drink it faster than you would like to.

I had this Turkish beer recently in Japan and was pretty impressed with it (it came in a more stubbie cooler friendly bottle too).
