I am a beer snob and found out about 5 years ago that having kegs of craft at home is much better than bottles. I also like to stock bombers of some special stuff at all times. Most breweries will provide you with kegs and some dont charge deposit. A sixtel (5.5 gallons) for 50-70 bucks with 56 12 oz or 42 pints is a solid deal for fresh brew. I am picking up a keg of Lost Abbey Lost and Found when I arrive in town this week.
My wife thinks I am a PITA when we go out to eat because I take longer to order my drink than her based upon the beer list.
