I also suspect local laws have something to do with it.
In the county where I live, they have they have some really silly laws:
1. no sale of alcoholic beverage at supermarkets/7-Elevens,
1030pm-630am. (630
am? so people can buy a 6-pack on the way to work?
)
2. Keg sale not permitted to anyone under
25, not 21. If you're more the 25, you can buy a keg, but the clerk is required to make a copy of your driver's license, after you paid for the keg and the deposit.
3. No person may purchase more than 24-can/bottle during each visit. (just drop off the first 24-can case in your truck and walk back to the store and buy another case.... I guess they don't want you to hurt your arms carrying too many beers?
)
Oh well.... at least I don't live in one of those dry counties...
I wonder if the US Customs has any laws that say I can't being beer in 4-liter mini kegs back? Gotta look that up first... As for the 220v plug, my electrician put one in my kitchen a couple of years ago.
