Beertender: the keg-orator for adults
If you're going to put a beer tap in your home, you're treading a fine line between living the good life and living in a frat house. If you don't focus on making it as classy as possible, people are going to assume you're stuck at age 20 and can't grow up. The Beertender, however, is way too expensive for a frat house, so it should leave you in the clear.
For $638, you can get a classy mini beer tap that's decked out in leather and wood, like the interior of a luxury car. And what kind of frat guy cares about stuff like that? You're just a classy dude who enjoys beer a whole lot. Yeah, that's it.

I would love one of these if i had the money to spend on one. $600+ is a lot ot pay for a home keg. If i could put one of these in my apartment, most of my friends wouldn't have a problem with buying one of these especially since most of my friends are recent college graduates. http://ziggytek.com/

Or, for like half that price, you could brew and keg your own beer, obtaining at the very least a far superior product to most commercially available mini-kegged beers (read: heineken is the best mini kegged beer that's available in most retailers, and that's not a compliment). Seriously, probably 200-300 for equipment and the first batch of ingredients (even using extract brewing, which despite being ridiculously easy, still makes a better brew than any swill produced by anheiserBusch/ImBev), and about 20-40 for each subsequent 5 gallon batch, which, btw, comes out to about less than 75 cents per bottle of high quality beer. You'll be making high grade, draft beer at PBR prices.

Heeeyyy!!.....What's the big idea trying to put social class to (sob!) ...one of the things (sob, sob!) that brings us all together regardless of colour, creed, race or sport!!! Don't you dare, or me and all my beer buddies from "Cheers" would have to come and kick some bourgeois butt.

Wow. these things are not exactly cheap in the US. Over in The Netherlands (where I live) you can buy one for about $200 US. They've been around for a few years now and are pretty popular.

And we get beer that's actually worth drinking instead of all that american yellow water.
