Crushed ice and ice cubes

Summer is just around the corner! Already the first Barbeques are being fired up and home-made Caipi's are being mixed. So, as sure as eggs is eggs, it's only a matter of time before someone posts to the TT forum asking where to get hold of bulk loads of crushed ice and ice cubes. In previous years we've always stuggled to find a reliable source. It seems that the demand for ice here just isn't as high as in other countries. But this is slowly changing! A company called Eis Frocks has recently started deploying more and more freezers at garages in and around Munich. They sell 2Kg bags of crushed ice and ice cubes, both for €2.99 each.

This ice is very clumpy und expensive. Better to look for a local provider. In Munich there exist lots of them: www.eisfactory.de, www.eis-kontor.de, www.eiswuerfel24.de, www.partyteufel.de/Eis/body_eis.html and many others. In other towns search for "nutzeis" or "partyservice" in the yellow pages.

alkoport will also deliver ice and alcohol to wherever you may be (in Munich).
