The Utah legislature was a contributing factor in restricting the rights of responsible Utahns. I have gotten party balls, mini kegs, full size kegs, etc from out of state. I've brewed my own beer and enjoyed drinking it from a keg. The kegs themselves have never influenced my behavior nor the behavior of others. Furthermore, the kegs have never done anything on their own behalf - never did see one of them release the e-brake, shift the car to drive from neutral, piss on the neighbor's flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-62511784674033823662010-08-14T14:07:28.024-07:002010-08-14T14:07:28.024-07:00whatever! provo girl is sexy! lighten up, jesus.whatever! provo girl is sexy! lighten up, jesus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-10345726023987073472010-08-14T07:11:36.780-07:002010-08-14T07:11:36.780-07:00Please don't take this stuff to seriously.

Shirf is only poking gentle fun at Utah's unique culture and almost unbelievable past. Even if I didn't care for the product, I love the marketing. Hey, could you imagine Warren's followers and a bunch of their wives, down in Hilldale sitting around the unfinished patio, drinking Black and Tans made from Polygamy Porter and Evolution Amber Ale - Might just prove they are one step up rather than one step down from the Chimp.

The first is the beer can simply be poured via gravity from the spout at the bottom. Doing this allows outside air to enter the container. This way is fine if you plan on consuming the entire 5L in a day. The second is with a dispenser that uses disposable CO2 cartridges to push the beer out through a tap like device. This is preferable if you plan on consuming the 5L of beer over a number of days. It is not a prefect system but it does work fairly well once you get used to it.<br />So what I assume will be sold at "Walmart" the Beer Nut, The Beer Store..etc will be the dispensing rig. The 5L cans will have to be purchased at different locations. All and all this is very cool and I appreciate Greg for pushing the envelope so to speak and getting the DABC to follow it's own rules.<br />Cheers<br />GeoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
