flomoe Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I grabbed the Miller Lite new keg draft thing tonight for the draft. It's not bad but they need to put better instructions on how much to turn the pressurizing dial. The first bunch of pours were a bit foamy but the overall taste is as close to an actual bar keg taste. Not bad to try but the cost per beer is higher than bottle. $17.99 for 1.5 gallons, or 192 ounces or 16/12 oz. bottles/cans.

[/quote No,but it sounds like a good idea.Now,if they just put real beer in ther (with actual flavor,character,etc) it might be worth a try
duey Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Ugh...Miller Lite...Coors Lite...how the hell can anyone drink that pisswater?
flomoe Posted April 23, 2010 Author Posted April 23, 2010 Ugh...Miller Lite...Coors Lite...how the hell can anyone drink that pisswater? Unfortunately, here in Florida, the options are limited at your local supermarkets. Sam Adams, Cable Car, Dutch Windmill, Corona, Bud, Mich and the likes rule the shelves. There aren't any consumers to be found and 60% of the beer section is filled with everything from Busch to Yuengling on the American side and six packs of most of the popular micro and euro beers filling the rest. Sucks but take what you can get.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 No,but it sounds like a good idea.Now,if they just put real beer in ther (with actual flavor,character,etc) it might be worth a try Agreed. Draft beer is so much better than bottled or can, but it won't improve dog piss like Coors Lite. Start putting REAL beer in those kind of mini-kegs and I'm all over it. PTR

Start putting REAL beer in those kind of mini-kegs and I'm all over it. PTR Depends if it's quantity versus quality. Quantity and it's Miller Lite, quality and it's a nice growler of Pale Ale.

Sucks but take what you can get. I live in Florida and NEVER drink Miller Light or Coors Light. I do like the look of this new draft contraption, though, and think it has potential if it were filled with decent beer.
judman Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 They brew coors beer. Then they rinse the tanks. the rinse water is then bottled as coors light.
beerme1 Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 They brew coors beer. Then they rinse the tanks. the rinse water is then bottled as coors light. Awesome lol dude And no matter what comes out of that plant, it sucks!
LeviF Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 They brew coors beer. Then they rinse the tanks. the rinse water is then bottled as coors light. Nah man, they brew the Coors Light separately, but the crap they scrape off the bottom of the containers gets mixed with water and viola! Keystone Light!
el Tigre Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 You guys are all beer snobs. Some are a little better than others,but its all beer. Quit complaining and just drink it!
IHFO Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 lol to those saying you don't have other options i'm sure you have local macros or micros you can buy, shell out the extra $ for real beer
IHFO Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 You guys are all beer snobs. Some are a little better than others,but its all beer. Quit complaining and just drink it! not true at all haha we need to get you some real beer apparently you'll never drink coors, miller, or bud aagain
judman Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 You guys are all beer snobs. Some are a little better than others,but its all beer. Quit complaining and just drink it! Go ahead, call me a "beer snob." Go drink your Coors. I'll watch you over the top of my foamy glass of hefeweisen. btw... hefeweisen is a german wheat beer that you cannot see through, and you wont find at the sorority house.

Nanker Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Heineken 5 Liter Draught Keg - been out for about 2 years in my neck of the woods. Newcastle Brown Ale kegger also brought to you by Heineken. Killian's Irish Red. Youse doesn't haff to give up taste for quantity.
flomoe Posted April 24, 2010 Author Posted April 24, 2010 Heineken 5 Liter Draught Keg - been out for about 2 years in my neck of the woods. Newcastle Brown Ale kegger also brought to you by Heineken. Killian's Irish Red. Youse doesn't haff to give up taste for quantity. The only one I've seen in the stores is the Heineken keg. It usually is covered in dust on the back of a shelf so I don't really trust grabbing it. I haven't seen the Newcastle or Killians kegs out yet. I would love to see a Hoegarrden or Stella Artois keg come out though. Those are probably my two favorite draft beers that I don't like in a bottle.
CSRABILLSFAN Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Coors Light to me is a good lawn mower beer,if I could I would prefer Labatts but we can't get it here.But when I drink beer I like a Black and tan with Guinness and Bass or a half and half with Guinness and Harps.

Killian's Irish Red. Youse doesn't haff to give up taste for quantity. I have seen the Heineken draught keg, but I thought it was a different setup than the new models. It may be, but according to that article, it is meant to last for 30-days in the fridge, so that might be OK. I'd get the Newcastle, as it happens to be one of my favorite "easy drinking" beers. I have seen these, but I don't drink enough beer to justify one: http://www.amazon.com/BeerTender-Heineken-...p/dp/B00132J8RK Thanks for the tip, Nanker.
