If thats what your meaning how much do you get out of them?

I mean, based on i_got_a_mohawk's numbers, you've got 10.5 US pints of beer. Any respectable beer glass holds at least a pint, so you're looking at 5 beer for 2 people, 3.5 beer for 3 people, 2.5 beer for 4 people, etc.
It's entirely doable.
Come on now.  |

I stand by it. |

Be aware that it won't be the same experience as normal draught Guinness. Guinness is typically pressurized with a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide (instead of just carbon dioxide like many other beers), and Guinness taps have a special restrictor disc before the tap nozzle to help create the foamy head. They try to compensate for this in the bottles and cans with a nitrogen ejector, but I'm not sure what the mini keg would have. |

Not worth it IMO, just buy a case.

A few of the guys on our knife/gun forum pre-ordered them. They got theirs a few weeks ago and love them. I just put the Kegs in my shop fridge. I really don't see the need for the self contained tap thing
I guess if you dont have fridge space it would be cool. It LOOKS nice |

Knifemaker I believe most coolers, like that one, are be able to receive any 5L kegs but that one been from heineken probably won't. All of the 5L kegs I have seen are the same shape, size and use the same system, except probabley from the Krombacher one which requires a special system.
