We vacation on Lake Huron and spend much of our time on the beach and in rented cottages. At non-vacation family events, we're in each other's yards and garages. We need an outdoor and non-electric source of brew that is convenient, reliable, and oh so tasty. This year, we've notified our local supplier that we will need ten 50-liter kegs over a two-week span. He had to convince his distributor to begin delivering Moosehead kegs to the upper section of lower-peninsula Michigan. (We also drink many fine beers in bottle form -- Bell's Oberon, Labatt Blue, Molsons, Goose Island, Sam Adams, Pacifico, etc. -- but the Moose seems to hit the draft spot just right.)
I'd love an electric kegerator for home, and will eventually get/build one, but the portability of the jockey box is hard to beat. Still, fine-tuning the thing to work properly hour after hour, day after day, has become more complicated than I first imagined. Worth it, though.
Go Army!
