Where I used to live there was a place that my friends and I had trained
pretty well. They would bring a fresh pitcher just before we needed it.
Perfect. Unfortunately the same place would bring the receipt once the three
of us reached six pitchers. Something about two pitchers per person rule or
some bullshit like that. :-( WTF?

I'm definitely down for doing this with some Cincy folks. With any luck I
should be able to debut the 1/4 keg with CO2 tank in a cooler contraption
that I'm planning at Winter Beater Wars, well before Cincy. I'd be happy to
bring a 1/4 keg and perhaps some bottles of some fine potent brew to share.

As for food I don't eat much pork (ribs are on my no-no list) and don't care
for brisket but I'm sure I can find some alternate form of chunks somewhere.
