Found alot of German Beers....looking for Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors..."normal" beers.
the 5 liter keg is for the 5 liter keg cooler I have...with no beer for it. I will have to try the suggestions. I have found Coors Light but thats the only one so far. Thank You for the suggestions.

are you going to franchise type liquor stores. if so go to a high end or family owned liquor store for this product, they will even order it for you.
i am surprised but learn new things each day.
also if you want bud or coors. go to the yellow pages under beer distributors. get a name and call tell them what you want, they will gladly tell you what store they supply their product.

good luck, sorry you have to make some phone calls.

Beer Kegs Specifics | Beer Pong is Good

After reading the reviews I was nervous but I’ve been very happy with it since I received it. I’ve used it with the retail german minikegs and also my own homebrew using new minikegs. It works great on both and I’ve had no issues with flat beer or leaks. The cartridges work very well and have lasted the length of the keg. Beer could stay a little colder but it’s not a problem, and most Americans drink beer too cold anyway. For the homebrewer this is a good intermediate stop before full kegging.

REVISED: Many people here have asked how to convert a paintball CO2 tank for use with this item. You will need to go to [...] and purchase their Regulator Converter for $[...]. The converter fits into the metal part of the Avanti regulator and then is screwed on the paintball tank. Works like charm.

This was a great Christmas present, or so I thought. Unfortunately, the thing broke right away. The plastic piece that holds the CO2 cartridge cracked under the pressure of the CO2. That is only half of the problem. It got worse after contacting Avanti to report the problem and seek a replacement part. Too make a long story short, I contacted them in January of 2009. Since then I have dealt with unapologetic customer service reps that have promised that the part would be sent the following day. I was told that for 3 weeks. No part ever showed up. Then was told a new order from china would be there in in 2 weeks. Been told that for 2 months. Still no part. Today is March 31, 2009. Still no part. No estimate of when I will get a part. No aplology or a care in the world from the customer service reps. Great product. Good idea. Delivered by a company that could care less about ripping people off. Shame on Amazon for selling this comapany’s products. From reading other posts about [..], I am surprised the Florida Attorney General (where they are located) has not been contaced about this fraud of a company. Don’t buy anything from Avanti. This is a true ripoff company.

A keg is a container that is cylindrical in shape and is often produced from stainless steel. It is especially made to store and serve beer. The typical design of a keg was thought of in order to keep the beer at a stable pH balance of more or less 3.5. In addition, since a keg is used to transport beer as well, its durability is guaranteed. By using a keg, you can be certain that no beer will get spilled in case it is mishandled or, worse, dropped. Generally, kegs can be divided into three parts. The bottom part of the container is where the beer is stored. On top of it is the place for nitrogen and carbon dioxide. If you are wondering why there should be an allotted space for nitrogen and carbon dioxide, it is simply because these two maintain the beer�s correct pH level. Also, it keeps the beer keg pressurized so the tap is able to function properly. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide can be used separately or hand in hand depending on the type of beer. For example, for a creamier beer, Guinness beers are pressurized with nitrogen. The last will be the floor of the keg. This specific part is slightly raised in order to prevent the beer from going lower. Without the floor, the beer will just go to waste seeing that there is no way it can be poured out from the keg in case the keg is almost empty. There are two ways of tapping a keg. You can use a party pump or you can choose a gas tap instead. There is a key difference between the two. Party pumps use outside air to pressurize the beer while gas pumps use carbon dioxide, sometimes nitrogen, again depending on the type of beer. Because party pumps use outside air, the beer must be consumed within 24 hours at most, otherwise it will be foul-tasting. To the contrary, beer stored in gas pumps will still be palatable up to 2 months if properly refrigerated.
