Northern brewer beer cubes

[Sepanik1986]

Has anyone used these? I know most of you guys would say go straight to kegs but I really would rather not. Figured I would give this a try but would like some input from people who have used them if anyone has.

Are you talking about beer boxes?

They look like a pain to clean.

If you cant get a dedicated kegerator and are short on fridge space I'd go for 2.5 gal corny kegs before I bought some beer boxes. Additionally 3/5 stars on northern brewers "we filter out bad reviews" system isn't confidence inspiring.

Size and shape is nice, but I'm not personally a fan of natural carbonation for kegging, it's also much more than the tap-a-draft systems

2 plastic containers, 3 picnic taps a piece of tubing, a co2 injector and 5 cartridges for $200 + $7.99 shipping ????? I'll pass!!!!!

At most that is about $50 for them! What a markup!!!! Plus the reviews of the boxes failing??

You can get a 2 keg setup for not much more!!!

Sometimes I feel like Northern Brewer is really good at coming up with solutions to problems that don't exist :\

For $200 you could a corney keg, co2 tank, regulator and Shank/faucet?

This to me is a good idea, poorly executed. The containers are not what I would want and the price is??????

I remember early users posting that the sides (and maybe the tops and bottoms as well) bulged out when the beer is carbonated so the boxes tip over and take up more room. The response from the manufacturer or the seller was effectively " yeah, that happens. too bad"

Thanks everyone for all the input. Looks like I'll get a keg at some point. After reading more and more about them they just seem like garbage
