Two options when you're done:
EXCHANGE - Bring in your empty Pig and we'll sell you another full Pig for $50
RETURN - Bring back your empty Pig and we'll refund your $40 deposit (but really, why would you want to do that!)
I don't understand the attraction in buying beer by the keg. I thought it was cheaper than by the bottle or can, but at $50/ 25 bottles, it is about the same. Is the experience of draft beer over bottled beer really worth the hassle of getting a keg, tapping it, having to drink it all at one time, the trouble in keeping it cold, the foam you can get from it, the wasted beer, the inconsistent quality than many have spoken of here. It sounds like way too much hassle when I can just pick up a few dozen beers for my party.
