Paulaner makes mini kegs. World Cost Plus Market was selling them for like 17 bucks (5 liters). The beer is great, and to boot, you get the gravity tap. It's nice.

I'm not a big fan of the mini gravity keg though, unless I'll be serving a lot of beer in a short time. Otherwise, I've found you have to keep the beer very cold to keep it happily carbonated for anything longer than a day or two. Every time you pour a pint, you're taking a pint of volume out of the can that the beer has to pressurize again.
