Gotta love a keg score

[Chauncey]

Sitting on the street, completely full of skunk abita beer.

Kegs a keg. Low wines storage.

Sweet get, Chauncey.

[pope]

Of course it was Abita, a perfect nola HD story. Congrats on the find!

[Tummydoc]

May as well run the beer too.

[Swedish Pride]

i found one on my way to the shop too

[Chauncey]

Holy crap!

[Oldvine Zin]

it's still a steal from the brewery, bad karma if you use that stolen keg.
Just sayin
be safe

[Chauncey]

Thats what the keg deposit is for

[Tummydoc]

Keg deposit doesn't cover the cost of the keg. But since it was a gift from heaven Chauncey i think you're compelled to use it lest you anger the liquor gods

[Chauncey]

Yeah im not the one who stole it, ill call abita tmmrw and ask them if they want it haha.

[Chauncey]

Im tight with the distro here too since i have been running successful bars for 20 years... pretty sure theyll laugh at me

[Oldvine Zin]

all you can do is try then it's yours
stay safe my friend

[Oldvine Zin]

but it is a real cost that breweries have to deal with

[Chauncey]

Youre absolutely right i really am gonna call. Most of my kegs are ones the same distro brought to the bar and said we could recycle cuz they were replacing them so i doubt they are concerned especially with the world as it is now. But its just extra for me id rather keep them in business even if i only touch abita beer when a customer orders it

Once they are out of the official retail loop, it’s not that easy to “give a keg back.”

I found 2 dropped off next to my dumpster, both full of old Budweiser. If you lose your receipt I’m not sure the store you bought them from will even take them back for free.

I found two others at a scrap yard. Guy said there was nothing he could do but cut them in half. (We made a deal)

I bought a small old kegerator last year and much to my surprise there was a squatty 1/4 barrel inside of it when I got it home.

Sometimes you just gotta give them a good home.

[Yummyrum]

Finding a lost Keg nobody wants back and stealing a Keg thats still in service are two different things .

Just remember that and make your call honestly .
HD forum doesn’t condone stealing .

[The Baker]

I've got a couple that are probably older than me.

Seriously.

And bashed and battered.
I think they would have been taken off the books over fifty years ago. Again, seriously.
They would just laugh if I turned up with them to return them

[Chauncey]

They literally laughed at me.

[Durhommer]

So I got a keg for 30 bucks full of October fest beer from 2014 it was fun getting that heavy bastard in the car

[Chauncey]

161 lb completely full. Been hefting them around, swapping them when they float, all that all too many years

[Corn Crib]

A friend was cleaning out his barn recently and gave me 2 kegs that we drank over 20 years ago as youngsters. Coors style, barrel shaped and look almost new.

He even gave me a third, squat 8 gallon? keg that will be nice for doing smaller spirit runs.
