So what's the big deal with these? Beer geeks (I'm one too...) seem to get excited about a firkin of XYZ beer being tapped. It doesn't really seem all that special to me. From what I understand it's basically a small keg with a different way to dispense. And the whole tapping / sealing aspect seems to be a pain in the ass. Now I can see a real barrel or cask being something special even just for presentation value but I just don't get the hub bub about firkins. Am I missing something?
