Default opinons on beer

That's right it's about time agian to order another keg. What should I get? I'm limited to domestic brews since it's the only other tap I have....other than Guiness. So, what should I look for? And NO NOT BUD or COORS!!

I have Black Dog Ale on my second tap right now. The other tap is for the main stay of Molson Canadian. Do you just not have the right keg coupler for the import brew? I'm only paying around 64.00 a 1/2 for Canadian through a friend of mine right now, that is only a dollar or two more than the Miller light I bought off of him.

I did a keg of Guinness a few months back. I didn't have a fitting tight and ran the keg out of nitrogen/Co2 mix. Pressurized it with all Co2 to try to salvage it but till I put the keg back on the right gas it just didn't taste right any more. I'll try some Murphy's next. Post up pic's of your keg set up.


This is my first kegorater build

Wow. that looks good! I just bought mine. I'm not mechanically inclined.

I have already had: Harpoon IPA, Guiness, Sam Adams, and Wachusette Country Ale. That kinda gives you a taste of what I like. I'm looking for quality over saving $$. If there was a way to buy it, I'd pick up Uno's Amber Ale. Anyone have a clue?? I know Sam are the brewers of it.

I agree, Killians sounds like a good next choice.

I hate keg beer. Just does not taste the same as a bottle. I also can't stand cans.

We've got a local microbrew Irish Stout on tap right now. We usually go with their Amber Ale which is great. Troeg's IPA, Stoudt's American Pale Ale, Dogfishhead 60 Minute IPA, Harpoon IPA, Victory Hop Devil, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Flying Fish Farmhouse Ale, Allagash White. I lean towards the IPA's and Pale Ales. I can't stand can beer and barely can deal with bottled beer. Nothing beats a fresh beer on tap. The problem is that a lot of places that sell microbrews on tap let them get nasty and it scares away a lot of people. We have never had problems with our setup at home getting nasty because we clean it between kegs.

Here's my poor man's bar on a budget. There's a small fridge underneath that will hold 1/6 and 1/4 kegs.

Yeah, Mud would be great! Honey Brown isn't too bad either though.
Sure, I'll be over to test it out. We should do wings on the grill again.
