Got a twin tap for my kegerator so I can put 2 1/6 barrels depending on mood. Between that and cooking I have gotten too fat though so it is now just sitting there...

I'd never refuse a Heinie, but never liked it enough to buy it more than once. Those mini kegs are cool though. I used to find the Molson ones near me but not in a long time.

DWCowles totally agree, ice cold beer on tap in a frosted mug is the best way to drink beer!

I used to work with an older fellow that said "all beer is good", "it's just that some is better". I have tried to follow that philosophy.

I am a little more partial to Murphy's Stout, but I still love Guinness which still has to be the best light beer (Guinness Draught = 125 calories per 12 ounces).

I'm Scotch/Irish and not sure which dominates my pedigree, but judging from my love of Guinness Draught, my pappy musto been Irish.
