Finish for a BEER Mug

I’m a Bud Light man from way back. I don’t think that I would want to go messing around with my beer by drinking it out of wooden mugs. Don’t get me wrong – I think that it is great that you are making wooden beer mugs and I wouldn’t mind having a collection of them myself. I usually drink my beer out of the can and I can even taste a difference between Bud Light in the can and Bud Light in the bottle. Surely then I believe there would be a difference, at least to me, between Bud Light in a wooden mug. However, I don’t guess you’ll really know until you try it. Good luck with it because it sounds interesting.

heat up some bee’s wax to liquid state in a pot big enough to submerge a mug. let it sit for 20 minutes or so. then take the mug out pour out as much wax before it solidifies. start buffing it, inside and out. this is a very old school method to seal the wood from a liquid. Just remember no hot beverages.

Now a friend uses the Bar Top Epoxy to seal the inside of a mug. but that takes 30 + days to be at a food safe cure.

I don’t think there is such a thing

Epoxies have a rank odor and taste. You might try a water based epoxy.

Maybe you should be using a wood that can tolerate holding a liquid like Lignum Vitae It’ll also help you expectorate
