Wrong brand, but how about this beer delivery system for when you are laboring in the fig orchard and get thirsty? __________________ WillsC's new fig forum: http://www.Ourfigs.com (and blueberries)

PS, to get Guinness on tap is a very involved process, we learned as we went along,,,,, Since Guinness is not an American beer, it does not take the same beer gas as the US do beers do, and ever bars that have Guinness on tap do not have the beer set up right. So, we had to purchase a "special mix" tank of gas to begin with that is different than US beers. The special Guinness gas pours slower than regular American beer gas. Next, Guinness needs to pour out slower than any other beers to get its authentic flavor and taste, so we had to get an authentic handle/pour set up for the Guinness conversion on top of the gas conversion as well. So, Guinness is very difficult to "Americanize" on tap authentically. We did not know at the time that we could not just buy a keg and put it on a beer tap just like any other beer. So now we have spent the time to go through the real Irish process of making sure the Guinness from our tap is exactly as it should be. We invite any of our Guinness/Fig friends to sample it! LOL! Bullett08, you are welcome anytime!

Guinness uses nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide. it's give finer, smaller bubbles that give that famous thick and creamy head :) __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.
