That wouldn't work so well. What about people whose cards are soon to expire? Who decide to cancel their card in the meantime, or even maxed it out? Just the first one alone is quite a significant amount of people.

they can put a hold on the card - when your card expires you get a new card, its not a new account. you're not going to be able to cancel your account with a hold on it.

people dont go renting cars, cancel their credit card, and never return the car do they? and if somebody goes to all that effort to steal a keg, its hardly worth fighting.

I think the one non-returned keg here and there is not the issue. But bars and distributors not keeping track of them

Huge stretch... come on now! Wouldn't that "reasoning" apply to any credit card transaction that involves a hold?

Are you a boxer? Because you have some reach!

That would be denied on the spot.

I mean max it out in the interim. And sure, you could apply that to any transaction that involves a hold... but 150 days (5 months) is an exceptionally long hold and the opportunity for stuff like this to happen is much higher than during a typical CC hold, that's all I was getting at.

My guess is that 99.9% of the kegs we brew in were stolen at one point in time. You are all either hypocrites or jealous you don't have keggles of your own.

Well it seems to me that breweries aren't taking this seriously. Sam himself is not staying up late at night worrying about those 5% of missing kegs. DFH is a corporation: it is up to the brewery and the destributer/retailer to set a proper deposit rental as well as cost for beer.

TL;DR and all that but keg deposits are limited by statute in most jurisdictions so, no, the brewer has no say.

I'm of the third type, I have three keggles made from new kegs.

Those of you who think taking kegs is not a big deal, call up your local package brewery and talk to them about it. I suspect your bravado will melt long before you pick up the phone to dial.

DFH Score!
