Kegstand Keg-On-Wheels is Great for Weak Frat Boys, Bloggers

7:20AM Benny Goldman | I once had a job delivering beer to bars but I only lasted a day, mostly because my body is built for blogging and not manual labour.

This tub-on-wheels makes the keg easy to roll around, has a snap-on–and hopefully watertight–tub that can be filled with ice to keep your brew cool, and a drainage spout to empty out all that nasty beer water at the end of the night. Sadly, you’ll still have to keep pumping iron if you want a keg at your next party–it’s just a concept for now. [The Greener Grass via Core77] More »
