I just found out that my home kegerator has become practically illegal in New York state. Starting Nov. 22 all kegs purchased must be "registered" with a $75 deposit. If you don't return the keg within 30 days you forfeit the deposit.
I do enjoy my (15.5 gallon) keg beer, but dispensing 66oz per day is a consumption rate that I'm not really comfortable with. I imagine that the breweries must be laughing their backside's off about now though.
What other product could you say: And by the way, if you buy this drink, you have to consume it at a minimum rate of half a gallon per day
-- NY state law.
My guess is Coke and Pepsi are going to want a piece of this action too!
So I'm looking for other disgruntled New York beer/keg drinkers. Rumor has it there's strength in numbers. So if you're out there, or you know someone who is, please let me know. If there's enough of us who feel a state mandated minimum consumption rate set at nearly a 6-pack per day is just a little too weird, maybe we can do something with our collective voice.
