The best thing about going to a mostly keg situation at home is no longer having to deal with empty bottles. It's highly annoying to have to go back to that, rinsing your bottles out in the sink and wheeling them out to the curb like a chump.

You really get spoiled by having, basically, one giant beer can to deal with a month. A dishwasher takes care of the rest.

Considering how much beer Americans drink, draft beer at home ought to be about 100 times more common that it is.

Sounds like a solid political platform to run on compared to the norm.

If I owned a company that made kegerators, I would advertise heavily on sports. It's crazy how much cheaper it is to drink that way. If you're willing to drink yellow beer, it's basically free. You can get a keg of Miller Lite for something like $70, which is like 75 cents a glass. Decent coffee is more expensive than that.

I drink Guinness -- which is a hundred and freaking seventy dollars a keg (!!!)-- and it's still only $2 per 20 ounce pint. Which is less than a third of the cost at a decent Irish pub these days.

Nor I. But millions of your fellow countrymen do, and they schlep untold millions of cans out to the curb every week. Without realizing how amazingly cheap their beer would be if they'd just knuckle under and spend $500 once for a kegerator and stick it out in the garage. Having draft beer at home is basically like getting paid to drink!

Mrs. Vercingetorix is a CPA. I sold her on the draft Guinness at home scenario based on its (relative) cheapness several years ago when she was in a weak moment because we were flush with an unexpected tax refund. "It won't replace going to the pub," I said, "but it'll make it a hell of a lot easier to get the check and go home."

Now she's worse than I am. The keg has been down for three days and she's already getting antsy. "How the hell am I supposed to come home from yoga and not have a pint waiting on me?"

I'll grant you it sounds like an album. But not a Jimmy Buffet(t?) album. There's no Black Wine Of Ireland in Parrothead country. That's yella beer and pina coladas and margaritas all the way.

I bet you got a belly like a bastard cat drinking all that Guinness. I like a good full rich beer, but I try to stick to the light beers to keep from looking like Bob Wickman

Our PH's are LH.Bourn, Heyward, Freeman. That's 4 in a row. Tough lefty in late innings..easy carve up. Not that Prado is scaring anyone..just sayin maybe pump the breaks. No qualms hitting Chip #2 though.

man we are going to live and die by lefties at the dish regardless. I wish Juan Fran was a righty. He use to switch hit when he was cutting his teeth in minors. I could could see hitting Larry 2nd. Frediot could get creative. If we really wanted to get crazy we could start hitting our pitcher 8th a la Tony LaRussa.

Exactly right. Playoff hockey is a bag over your head punch in the nuts when you least expect it. I am still ANGRY with the Predators outcome. That was gut wrenching.

Yeah, they flat blew it. I'm still pissed to the point I don't even care about them any more. Will be a long, long time before I get over that **** performance they had

Guinness IS a light beer, by any objective measure. Low calories. Low alcohol. Low gravity.
