Review on Keg Cap Accessory Kit For Craft Beer Growler - Maintains Freshness Of Carbonated Drinks, By DrinkTanks by Justin Spence

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Love / Hate Relationship

I've used the Keg Cap for about 10 months on about 20 64-oz growler fills. I want to love this product, but it has not lived up to its full expectations.Pros:- The CO2 preserves beer for longer than an unpressurized keg.- The "kitch" factor is awesome, until you get to the actual act of pouring beerCons:- I have never been able to obtain a good pour from this system. It's always either super-foamy or low-and-slow output- I have to recharge the growler at least once per pint pour (sometimes twice)- There's always some residual leakage from the tap at the end of each pourWould I recommend? At $45, not unless you already have a Drink Tank and are a beer-a-day kind of person.

Pros
  • I love it.
Cons
  • Expensive price point for a product that might not significantly improve the drinking experience
