At the local bar where I sing karaoke at, mug club members can take their mugs home if they want..they can be customized with stickers and acrylic paint whatever you like. There are 1600 members going back to the late 90s. Some of the early mug club members are 40 year old muhlenberg college alumni who are only back once a year max.
I believe mug club members get the 10 ounce beer price in a 14 ounce mug. I never wanted to join because I usually drink jack and Coke at the bar and a lot of the beers are ones I wouldn't want to drink
