Keg Shop closed
- Thread starter StateThrowdown
- Start date
The Keg Shop has been under the same owner since the early 90's. As far as the firesale mountain of beer, it's probably mostly due to the distributors keeping closer tabs on their supply in the market.
All firesale beer was in the first place was beer that was getting close to going past date and they knew the Keg Shop would be able to move it quickly. It was better for the distributor to sell the beer to the keg shop for a couple bucks off each case instead of dumping it.
i remember one particularly great fire sale where they had 12pks of old mil for 2 bucks.... needless to say, i needed a dolly to carry it all out.

We went in there a few months ago and I was saddened by the lack of inventory. I hope they get back to "normal" soon!
Last time I went there, after BB game last year they had Fat Tire and Mothership big bottle cases on fire sale... Bought 6 of them, couldn't pass that up!
We had a keg shop dolly at our house on Welch. The Keg Shop was nice enough to let us "borrow" it so we wouldnt have to drive the half block!
I went in there last September and they had leinenkugel sunset wheat kegs for $40.. We bought 3 of them.
I heard they ran into the same licensing problem that Sgt. Peppers ran into. Something about they didn't have the proper license for liquor and were closed down for a bit..

I am so happy that Peppers is back open. The atmosphere of that place may be the best in Ames.
The Keg Shop was/is one of the greatest things in Ames for students. From buying a case of beer for $4.99 to getting pony kegs of Bacardi Raz for the younger female crowd that place is amazing.
Probably 48% of ISU students best stories start with, "So we went to the Keg shop to see what was on fire sale....."

$5.99 cases of Brewski and Brewski Light in the mid-90s. I didn't mind that beer at all.
Edit: I see someone beat me to it. Good times!
Is it the smell of sweat or the dangerously slick floors that attract you to Peppers?

I went to Sgt Pepper's for the first time last weekend (it was Phuel when I was in school) - what's the deal with the floor? It was like they waxed it and sprayed it with WD40, people were crashing all over the place. Is it always like that?
