lil tip for you shoppers out there....

next time you're in kroger or brookshire's, go to the micro/import section, then look in the "regular" beer section where all the cases and 12 packs are..............you'll see southern pecan and 2 other lazy magnolia beers in lil 'mini kegs' for the fridge.

might have to check that out....

lil private dream of mine is my own keg in my house.........first beer to be tapped will be breckenridge breweries "avalanche ale", during the winter, w/ my feet propped up on my coffee table and the fire going........

it's gonna happen.............................sometime

that will be great as long as we all get and invite over to partake in the festivities. :D and which kroger/brookshires has the mini kegs and the best selection of micros, looking for some variety for the weekend.

Black Butte Porter from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, OR is a favorite when I'm out west.

My wife's originally from California and we make a trip out to Chico (home of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.) every year. Take the tour, eat at the restaurant, and taste the nectar at it's source... damn... I need to make some flight reservations!

Woodchuck Granny Smith is my favorite cider.
It is just like biting into a granny smith apple.
But i can only drink a couple (2 - 3) cause they are to sweet.

I turned my better half on to it and now that is all she drinks. Goes by the grocery store in Brandon and gets it all the time. Plus they have it on tap at Buffalo Wild Wings.

I am kind of partial to Killians Red

all good threads eventually turn south.... dammit tuel Woodchuck is Cider...not beer.... my wife likes it though :oops:

gator, Lowe's and Home Depot sell personal use Kegerators through their appliance department, I believe you can land a pretty good one for around $600, maybe less....

We built one my freshman year of college...one of the benefits of rooming with an engineering major..... wish i still had one....
