Mini Kegs
Beertender
Avanti Mini pub
Phillips Perfect draft
Looking to pick one up for a gift.
Anyone have one, or have any experiences with them?
Basically they are around $300 and use the 5Litre mini kegs.
Each has it's limitations.
Thoughts?

I got one in JC Penney a couple years ago for $70.
Two types -- the top tap, and bottom tap. Heineken uses the top tap, most others use the bottom tap.
These look much fancier than mine, but mines does the job.
Basically, it comes down to if he drinks heineken or not.

The Beertender is strictly for Heini only.
The Phillips I believe is a Becks product....and works with some of their beer line.
The Avanti claims it works with "any" 5 litre keg. It has a separate co2 cartridge port....thus it does not matter if it's a "gravity" pour keg or a "top" type like the Heini that has the co2 already "in the keg".

^^ I've purchased the Heine mini keg on it's own too...for a party. It worked out really well...even though Heine is not a fave of mine, the draught beer from the mini keg was excellent.

One thing I question is how long is it before these 5 litre Kegs stop being made? Up here we used to have them for a few years, in all the major brews but they quickly disappered. Last year Heini came back with it, but I don't think the trend will last here at least.

we have probably 15 or 20 different brands of 5 lt. kegs here (almost all German brews) and have for 10 years or so...

If these "draught" machines take off...then I think they will be here to stay.
