Just picked one of these up a few nights ago from a 7-11 convenience store. Nice - it's taps 5 liters of beer just like a real keg and stays fresh for 30 days, so you don't have to drink it all right away like those little gravity kegs.

Sounds like a good idea. Too bad it's filled with Heineken instead of a good beer.

Yes, put some good beer in those things and we're talking quite the novelty.

I haven't tried, but I would guess so since it's pressurized. I think you'd need to rotate that nozzle so it points down too(not sure if it rotates.)

Yep, I wonder if it's a skunky as it is in the bottle?

These have been popular in Europe for years. I used to get these in 4 and 5 liter cans 25 years ago. Of course, back then they were not export beer, but the real thing. My favorite was Paulaner, out of Munich.

Yup, I've been tapping it into pint glasses. Eight oz. cups are for coffee.

My favorite was Paulaner, out of Munich.Weren't those just gravity kegs that allowed the beer to just drain out of at tap at the bottom?

When Looter Guy finishes a dozen or so, he can strap them to plywood and paddle around in his new pimped out Heineken pontoon boat.
