    The "deposit" you pay when you get a keg is about 1/6 of the actual cost of a new keg. So a craft beer place that is trying to make it and their kegs keep ending up as targets rat rod tanks etc. that is cutting hard into their chances to make it in the super competitive market that is brewing.

    just my thoughts
    Just checked the keg in my kegerator and it is definitely stainless, I thought they were aluminum. Made me curious so I decided to google it and it looks like a keg costs about $150 new. $25-30 deposit seems like bad business to me.

    On that note, anybody want to buy a kegerator? Comes with a free target inside.

    My son wanted to build some heavy duty steel targets for an Eagle Scout project and put them out there.

    We both thought about it for about 2 minutes and decided that if the forest service would even allow us to install them and we could avoid any liability someone would have to see if their gun was big enough to destroy them.

    He is now onto helping landscape a local school.
