I've spent so much time in there the last two months, we're on a first name basis.

Cubby - where do you shop? I need to order one in MO soon, since I can't get it in IL.

well got the thing plugged in last week and it seemed to run(the compresser) for like 15 min out of every 17! and all I got was foam. bad tower cooler i ended up throwing the lite keg in the old guinness kegorator and on wed I was pouring good beers!!!!! but the old perlick cooler has an appointment with the hvac guy next door i hope it is just a little low on r134a and then I can get the guinness back on tap along with the lite. til then I have a referagerator showroom in my kitchen and 2 of the 3 are plugged in keeping cool. ALL I REALLY WANT IS 2 OR 3 BEERS ON TAP IN MY KITCHEN, IS THAT TOO MUCH TOO ASK??????????

If you want to special order something like Bell's Two Hearted on this side of the river, you should call 33 Wine Shop in Lafayette. They are hands down tip top at getting something in for you. Don't let the name fool you. They are WELL versed on their beer and usually have bottles of stuff flat out impossible to get elsewhere. The guy running their beer side of the store is an uber beer geek.

I just ordered from the liquor store close to my house. Yes, they have a decent selection of bottled beer, but I'm getting the feeling they don't really have reps at their distributors who give a cr@p. Still no Two Hearted for me. I'm actually going over to your neck of the woods for my next keg. Bon Vivant in Columbia can get me a 1/2 barrel of Founder's Centennial IPA for $150. They can also get me a 1/2 barrel of Dog Fish Head 90 minute, but that's a bit steep at $270 That stuff is $10 a 4 pack, so it's not a bad deal, it's just a bit much for me to spend on a keg. We can't get Founders or Dog Fish Head on this side of the river. Their keg availability rotates pretty frequently, so you just have to call Andrew over there. He e-mailed me a list of what's available as of July 14.

Firestone double
coors light

alaskan amber

Its all good. Just depends on your criteria.

Corona California

My last kegerator only held 1/4 barrels so I was limited on 7.75 gallons.
I did however have a few kegs of Karl Strauss' libations.
1st Keg Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale
Next 3 Karl Strauss Amber Lager.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on a Beer Meister kegerator that will be tapping something good....
I am going to Stone Brewing (makers of Arrogant Bastard) on Tuesday, perhaps I will p/u a 1/2 barrel.
MMMMMMM

That's just mean. Now I'm jealous. No Stone available here

I've been going through 1/4s of Yuengling Lager. It's a good beer for a good price. I'm finally getting something different. A small brewery called Flying Fish here in Cherry Hill, NJ. I'm getting a 1/6 of their Farmhouse Summer Ale.
