My father, who has become a big time Rolling Rock fan (and I’ve posted regarding this previously) decided he’s giving up his kegorator in exchange for a healthier workout regiment and diet. Fortunately for me, he unloaded the kegorator onto his third born son for a very fair price.

Included in the deal was the kegorator, the CO2 tank, and whatever was left of the Rolling Rock 1/2 barrel. I was thrilled, and it didn’t take me long to finish off what was left of the 1/2 barrel.

The next big question was what to replace the Rolling Rock with. Sure, I’ve grown to like the Rolling Rock somewhat, but I wanted something a little more. There are plenty of beers out there I like better. My initial thought was that I wanted to get Smithwick’s, but after looking into pricing, I decided that Smithwick’s and Sam Adams were a bit steep for my “Keg beer”.

After contemplating local distributors, gas prices and the price of beer I decided to go with Michelob Amber Bock. Mr. Porch joined me on my journey across town to pick up my new beverage of choice, and shortly after we tapped the new keg, we pulled one off and enjoyed a tall Amber Bock in the tasting booth with a 5 Vegas Shorty.
