I got drunk at a craft beer tour yesterday and impulse bought this:
First off, yes, it is real.
It had the bottom drilled out and there was a nutsert in it, threaded on to a post for a beer tap. I dont know if the threads match yet but if they dont, im going to, just get a different nutsert.
I never knew how heavy these things were! Its going to be an awesome shift knob.
