Ideally, but he made it sound like he has to pay another deposit and give up the empty or risk being tracked down. I would verify if this is the case, or if you just lose your deposit and swap out the empty for the new one. And you NEVER own it. It belongs to the brewery. If you keep it, it's stealing. Those kegs cost the brewery a LOT more than your $30 deposit. That's the whole reason they do the keg tagging, so they know who bought it if it doesn't get returned.

In my opinion, that would still suck if you lost your initial $30 deposit. What if you want to start shopping somewhere else because you found your beer cheaper, or you want to buy something at store B that you can't get at store A? Indiana has keg registration tags, so I don't think you can take an empty that you bought at store A and swap it out at another store.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
