Can you still get mini 5L kegs that have their own taps?

    I remember a few years ago you could get mini kegs which didn't require any extra apparatus - they had their own taps which would pop out when opened. Tesco had Heineken and Lidl had Graffenwalder, among others.

    Haven't seen any of these in a loooooong time - is there anywhere you can still get them, and if so which beers can you get and where?

    Not seen them in a while but my experiences of them was poor. Always too much gas/foam.

    The Graffenwalder ones from Lidl were grand as long as you chilled them, and then let the tap run for a few seconds, discarding this initial beer before pouring a pint. The remainder was always grand, or at least that was my experience.

    Maybe if your experience was the norm though, they discontinued out of unpopularity?

    Would love to get a keg like this if any companies still sell them. Not looking for any specific brands, if there are a few different ones I'll pick one from whatever there is.

    Northbound release them every so often. Maybe drop them a tweet.

    I've only really seen them in the summer time. perhaps that's the reason they're not around at the moment.
