Midwest Supplies recently had a pin lock keg promotion, and included this in the marketing email:
"Ball Lock Kegs are soon to be a thing of the past! Most shops are already completely out."
Is there any truth to this? I assumed that both types of kegs would become harder to come by, since soda distributors have switched to plastic bags, but it didn't occur to me that one type would be harder to get than another.
(As a sidenote, II've always been told that ball locks are more common, but based on my casual monitoring of kegs on craiglist it seems to me like they're roughly evenly split. That's a totally unscientific study, of course, but what's the basis for the "ball locks are more common" wisdom?)
