I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any other companies like Microstar out there. I have looked hard, but have come up empty. Any help would be appreciated!

What does Microstar do?

They are in the business of keg management. SO if you want to use kegs but dont want the overhead of keg storage/ownership/management and maintenance, they will do it for you. You basically rent the kegs on a per/use basis. It a great idea, however they have 500/keg per month requirement, terrible customer service and high prices. I find it hard to believe there is no competition, even on a local and smaller level. I am in the North East.

This is such a good idea I would even consider it as a business. Does anyone see a need for this type of service?

I think we can all agree, good vendors are worth there weight in gold. And what better vendor then someone who knows the industory challenges and the tough business of microbrewing.
