known as American Sankey. It is used by all the major
breweries - Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Molson-Coors, and Labatt
as well as most craft breweries.

Both the gas line from the CO2 tank / regulator and the beer
hose to the beer faucet attach to the coupler.

Tips on enjoying your keg:
• Let the keg settle for 20 minutes before tapping.
• Only pump tap when neccesary, as your beer will
flow better and you will cut down on foam.
• Keep your keg as long as you like, as there
is no extra charge for using our taps extra days.
• Don't forget cups and ice while you are here!
• Please order your favorite beer ahead of time
(2 days minimum).
For last minute parties or emergency run outs we carry
Bud, Bud Light, Labatts, and Michelob Light in the store
at all times. And, we are open until 2 AM seven days
a week.
Be sure your beer is fresh... Draft beer tastes great
fresh from the brewery, therefore, we get deliveries
weekly. We sell more kegs, so your beer is always fresh.
