This has been a interesting journey. I needed 3 kegs for my 3 tier. So I started looking on craigslist and found most folks want as much as the deposit price. Then success! A guy had 2 for 50 bucks each. After contacting him he said to meet him late at night in a deserted parking lot. Hmmm. So I arrive in the parking lot and no one there, called the guy and he is right around the corner. 30 minutes later he gets the with another guy for back up and only has one keg. But it is brand new so I pay him and he hauls butt.
2nd keg.
He wants 80 for it and I had to drive for 20 miles to get to his house, when I got there it was a old coors keg that was so beat up it would not even sit straight. I asked what about the one in the ad and he says no you cant have that one it still has beer in it. And then gets pissed when I wont take the junk one.
2nd keg part 2
A guy meets me on the side of the freeway and circles the lot checking me out, jumps out trades money for the keg and squeals the tire leaving. Brand new keg.
3rd keg
Back to meeting in the dark again. Behind a resturant, this time at least he is waiting there for me. Keg has a couple of dents but ok.
Is it me or does this feel like I am buying automatic weapons from the mafia? Are kegs a controlled substance? Well now thats over I can concentrate on making beer. I just hope the the cia doesnt have me on satellite surveillance now.
