I didn't find a thread addressing this, so I'd like to get opinions.
I am now kegging most of my brew. I want to be able to take some brew with me to gatherings to share. I've been looking at pressurized growlers like the uKeg 128 and similar, but at that price I could also buy a cannonball keg, pop tap, and bring my spare CO2 tank for less. As I see it:

I am now kegging most of my brew. I want to be able to take some brew with me to gatherings to share. I've been looking at pressurized growlers like the uKeg 128 and similar, but at that price I could also buy a cannonball keg, pop tap, and bring my spare CO2 tank for less. As I see it:
Mini keg:
- Holds more beer, 1.75 gallon
- standard parts for the faucet and gas supply
- refill the CO2 tank instead of buying disposable cartridges
Pressurized growler:
- Coolness factor
- Coolness - keeps the beer cold longer
- Integrated gas solution, don't have to lug the tank along
- smaller than a mini keg
What are your thoughts?
