Two prong taps a thing of the past?

I heard that all major brewers (at least in the states) are switching to ball taps. The micro breweries will purchase the old two prong barrels and use them.

What the hell is a ball tap?

I have the Sankey coupler for domestic brew (as IF I might drink any... what the hey, it came with the basic keg cooler setup) and I have the hoff-stevens coupler for an occasional Yeungling's even though that's never been used. I have a coupler for Bass and, the one that's always in use, Guinness. Will a ball tap render my Sankey coupler a place in the antiquities and curios hall of the zymological history museum?

Sankey.

No, but you can forget the Hoff-Stevens for Yuengling; they're in the process of switching to Sankey.

Thanks, I've never heard it referred to as a ball tap.

Then the Hoff-Stevens coupler goes in the antiquities and curios collection.

Western Pennsylvanians don't talk funny, Lew. The rest of the country talks funny.
