A few weeks ago, an old building in downtown New Albany was being emptied, and an old "Golden Gate" keg was among the flotsam. It bore an Anheuser-Busch engraving, poor thing. In the early days of the Public House two decades ago, these already were becoming rare. As shown in the photo below, there was a separate coupler for the CO2 and draft lines (not visible in my hurried photo) and a bung for filling. The kegs stood upright. CO2 went in the top, and beer came out the bottom. I seem to recall Rogue XS series ales, like the immortal '96 Old Crustacean, as the ones we saw most often in these kegs. Are any still out there?
