Has anyone tried this? I saw it this afternoon, in Jewel, for $19.99 and couldn't resist. It holds five liters and comes with a tap. The "pressure system" is all inside the can, so the tap is little more than a very simple valve and hose.
It's chilling in the fridge now. I had to adjust a shelf, but that seems a small price to pay.
When empty, it's just a steel can that can be recycled like any other steel can. The "tap" is just a few cents worth of plastic you just throw away.
Supposedly, the beer stays fresh for up to 30 days after tapping, if refrigerated, although they are marketing it primarily for parties where it will be used up in a few hours.
But I figure, if I can't drink five liters of beer in 30 days, I'm no kind of man.
