Message FezMonkey beers 269 º places 5 º 05:19 Tue 12/26/2006 My wife got me a cooler that holds 5 liter mini kegs as well as a mini keg of Warsteiner for Christmas. I am curious who all offers their beer in 5L mini kegs and if their are any websites I could order from. I love that she supports my beer drinking but I’m afraid it may be of limited use due to availability of 5L minikegs. I would love to here from any other 5L mini keggers out there. If anyone is in Vegas come by and help me finish this thing, a minikeg is like thirteen 12oz beers and you need to finish it in a day or two before it goes flat.

Message kujo9 beers 1095 º places 32 º 07:55 Tue 12/26/2006 Kapuziner Hefe Weizen, Monkschoff Schwarzbier, DAB, Coors Light, as well as the one’s listed above are the one’s I’ve seen. Ask your local retailer/beer store what he can get for you. On a side note, a friend of mine’s wife asked me about the same thing your wife got you! I steered her away from it for one of the same reasons you stated. Lots of beer, not a lot of time to be able to drink it without going stale. Mike

Message Dickinsonbeer beers 5073 º places 31 º 17:34 Tue 12/26/2006 I’ve seen Schlenkerla in 5 liter kegs as well. Not sure on the urbock, but pretty sure about the marzen and weizen. I would get that first if possible since you have rated the urbock highly.

Message santos999 beers 318 º places 15 º 18:27 Tue 12/26/2006 For our Christmas party we had a 2 year old 5L of Church Brew Works Millenium Trippel, and it was delicious! They also do their Pious Monk in the 5L kegs.

Message FezMonkey beers 269 º places 5 º 07:02 Thu 12/28/2006 Thanks to all for their input. I was glad to see Schlenkerla as an available 5L, if I can only find some. Happy New Year everyone, Bud
