I didn't want to hijack Neal's thread, but it reminded me to bring up a recent conversation with Robert at North Corner. Used kegs are getting harder to come by, North Corner doesn't currently have any and I'm not sure they have for awhile. Robert's got a line on some
new ball locks and would be interested in having the club go in on a wholesale group buy with him. I think the idea is get a pallet or two to get a price break but it's more than he really wants to keep on hand, thus partnering with us. Sounds like they'd be around $80/keg for 5 gal, possibly slightly less, with 3 gal also available for a few bucks less.
WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN THIS AND IF SO FOR HOW MANY KEGS? If there's enough interest I'll work with Robert to get more details (especially final pricing) and try to convert interest into commitment and action.
