Really $150?

Post by Beer-lord »

A fancy but only 1 gallon keg for $150? If I was rich I don't think I would buy this. Tell me I'm reading this wrong.
They must simply like using the name "Big Mouth" alot.

Yeah, seems crazy. I struggle with paying $80 for a keg, it's contrary to my nature.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. My 2.5 gallon ball lock cost 80 bucks. Expansion is great and all, but that's just too much.

Ridiculous. I love how they describe it like you can just swap out the expansion so you can bring the small keg with you a party. Not so easy when it's filled with beer.

For that much this would be better if you want a fridge shelf thing. Holds more too. And comes with everything but the CO2 tank. (the keg itself is $90something I think, and it can be adapted to CO2 cartridges too I think if you want to natural carb and just use CO2 to dispense).

It's a gallon. That's 8 pints. Still not much, though.
