This thing is like the best and worst thing to happen to me all at once.
I have drank in the last 2 days more beer then I have probably drank in the last 2 months.
Today was a really sh*tty day so I got to come home, walk into the garage, pull a handle and out comes ice cold draft beer right off the f*cking tap. It's about as good as coming home to your women completely naked begging for some d*ck, in fact I think it's better because you don't have to cuddle afterwards and you can go back and hit it again all night long as much as you want without saying a single f*cking word and talking about "feelings."
On the same note it sucks because GOD DAMN theres a serious beer gut in the making.

My father-in-law has a triple tap in his new house. He got it so my mother-in-law can't keep track of how many beers he is having. She's a can counter.

Good idea!
Glad I don't have to worry about a can counter but if I did.... it can't happen anymore.

My wife extended our bbq and added one for my birthday. Best and worst thing. The problem I am running into is that I want to add a couple of more fridges. One for a light beer, one for an ale and one for my wife for her pear cider. Lethal but this aint no dress rehersal.

Ahh yes the keg-o-rator. I bought a fridge specifically for this purpose. It's one with the freezer on the bottom so the tap handles are at the right height and you don't hit them when opening the freezer door to get a frosty cold mug! Of course you might even start dabbling in home brew and kegging it in 5 gallon kegs.

Mine started out with a single handle, then I went to 2 taps, now it's 3. The pics below are from the 2 tap days.

Then of course you will want to take your beerfest on the road so you buy a jockey box and when that's not enough you buy a kegmeter. A kegmeter is a pneumaticly controlled beer dispensing system that senses how much beer is in the glas and automatically shuts off. Kegmeter (http://www.kegmeter.com/keg1.htm) It's spendy, but no one will ever forget seeing it!

It was pretty wild! He entered the size of the keg (gallons) and it would keep track of how many gallons were left based on the number of pours. It also had the temp of the beer and you would enter the size of the cup (in ounces) and it would auto pour and stop just before the cup was full.
Crazy, but he wants something like $5000....jeez that's a lot of gas for the summer!
