Keg beer anywhere?

[Clearwater FL]

We'll be up at Seagrove this Saturday. We have 18 people in 1 house and we're looking for a place to purchase a Keg. I called Emerald Coast Wine and Spirits and they claim I have to drive to Destin or PCB to get one. Anyone know of a place closer to Seagrove?

[TooFarTampa]

Did you check the Tom Thumb in Seagrove? It's been awhile since I bought a keg but I thought they were available in convenience stores.

Not too many west-central Florida folks on this board!!

[kathydwells]

I don't know where you can buy one...but if I were going to be down there this weekend, I would help you float it.

[Clearwater FL]

Thanks for the info TooFarTampa. I'll call the Tom Thumb and see. Thanks for the welcome.

[kathydwells]

:oops: Sorry.... !!!!!

Hit the Bruno's liquor store in Destin. Across from the outlets. That's where we got ours.

Try the Winn Dixie at on 98 just past Lake Powell. We have gotten kegs there before. Also if you can't get one there, try Charlie Lahan's it's on Front Beach Road in PCB. It's not that far from Seagrove. It's before you get to all the new high rise condos on Front Beach.

[InletBchDweller]

yes and after you leave charlie lahans carosel then drive about 1/4 mile east and get the best doughnuts this side of the mason dixon line.....of course this is my opinion...

No dice at Tom Thumb. I'll either bring one from Clearwater or head to Destin or PCB. Thanks for all the info. Do you know if I can get an ice tub at Bruno's or Lahan's?

We got on at the Dollar General Store on 98, in PCB. (Good Lord! I make my family sound like we are all lushes! )

We have to stick together.

I love it that someone in Clearwater is heading up to Seagrove. I thought I was the only one who would do that! The drive is worth it! Been up there before Clearwater FL?

So true. We used to try to drive up there for vacation whenever we could! And it is so weird that most locals from Tampa/Clwtr/St.Pete don't know the panhandle area at all! I feel, the less people that know, the better.

[Clearwater FL]

Thanks for all the help and making me feel welcome! I appreciate! TooFarTampa- We were there last year when the hurricane came thru. We had to camp in Jaxonville until the storm passed. It was still fun even though no beach access. We're looking forward to the beach this year.

Cheering 472- irony at it's best. I have alot of family in Louisville. 10 of our 18 will be coming from Louisville to Seagrove on Saturday.

Why oh why would anyone drink draft beer by choice? Nasty, vile stuff.

Unless it's Guinness.

Clearwater -- I'm sure you will have a great time, no matter what you are drinking. The beaches are beautiful and the tropics are quiet.

Listen JB, I have floated more kegs than I can count, and I have to say that none of it was nasty, vile stuff. Well, ok at least not while I was drinking it, but maybe the next day. OH, and I have funneled a few also.....gosh, to be young again!!!

Maybe I just drank too much of it in college, but I just think domestic draft beer is swill. Imported drafts are pretty good. Plus, if you are at the beach, why not buy cans so you can put them in a cooler and make your beer portable?

Cool, do they need anyone to help drive down? We have several Louisville posters here.

Us young guns can handle the bad keg beer. Unless it's Icehouse or Natty Light...or Bush. Which we used to drink.

I'll throw back a good ole Bud Light keg any day.

I never got in to Guinness. But then sipping and beer never went in the same sentence for me.

They have 18 people...if they drink beer like us, they'd need almost 7 cases for a single beach day! They could use (see link below) , but they wouldn't be too attractive over swimsuits and they'd have to drink fast in this heat!

I thought I could add the link in html...someone help me out here!

Damn. I just wish we'd bought more Miller Lite last year before Katrina and all of the beer headed for NOLA got dumped off here. Publix had 18 packs for $4.95 (with coupon). Daughter and boyfriend filled up their car with it. We should have filled up the owners' closets with it.

The link worked. Unfortunately, I couldn't use that device as my belly already looks like that.

We filled our trunks with it, too. Good cold cheap beer on a hot summer day can't be beat.

Wow, I completely forgot about that. Miller Lite is our beer so we were in HEAVEN! I hope it turns into a yearly special (sorry LA,MI,TX,GA). Keep the storms away and the beer coming!

About five years ago, we found two cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon in the pantry of the house where we were staying. How the housekeeper missed it I will never know. Anywho, I put a case in the fridge to chill and tentitavely opened a can and took a sip. Not bad, that PBR. I drank every last can of it.

That stuff is pretty hip now. 2 Restaurants down the street from were serving PBR $1 on tap. Or you could have a $3 Bud

We had those prices here too, but if you noticed, they had ESPN ads on them. It was during the first few weeks when college classes began -- my guess was they were trying to recruit Freshman and establish brand loyalty for the college students. Just my guess.

Oh, I never saw the ESPN ads. BTW I only saw this price at the Seagrove Publix. When we got back to GA after boarding up, the 18-pack was $12.99 (if my memory serves me correctly, which often it doesn't). That's when we kicked ourselves in the butt for not buying more at the beach.

JB, draft beer, if stored correctly, can be much better than bottled or canned. It's all about how fresh it is. A fresh keg of Sierra Nevada or Anchor Steam is a wonderful thing, way better tasting than bottles of unknown vintage.

I'll have to agree about "regular" American style beers. Nasty and vile are good adjectives.

FYI - most all beer has a born on date or expire date, if not in plain view in code. You simply have to know a couple of things about the code and get out your calendar to do the math. Most of the beer companies use the Julian Calendar in their coded stamps to either mark the expire date or date produced. It varies from company to company to keep the public out of the know.

I know what JB is talking about with the nasty keg beer comments -- been there and done that. Yes, the keg must be fresh and cold, the tap and lines cleaned, and the container in which it is poured must be made of glass and be clean. If all of that happens, your keg beer will be a "wonderful thing," as John says.

Who needs a container in which to pour it in? Just give me the hose and cut out the middle man.
