My beer fridge is finally all re-gasketed, sealed and ready to get rolling again.  This thing has six taps on it (Five CO2,  One nitro),  and the only thing I need right now is some kegs with beer in them.  I'm still missing some brew equipment so I can't fire that up just yet,  so I need some commercially available stuff.

Someone was telling me that in Michigan,  the law says a distributor cannot sell to the general public,  but breweries can.  I have confirmed the brewery part and most will sell me kegs direct,  but I'd rather have one location to pick up from with a broad selection.  However,  all I can find is party stores...  Which not to knock capitalism,  but they all want a 50% or more markup on kegs,  defeating the purpose of even running a beer fridge.

So,  good sources of kegged beer without a giant markup,  preferably downriver, but I'll drive anywhere east of 275 and south of 8 mile if it's a good deal.

Our local brewery (Witch's Hat) sells kegs directly, but South Lyon isn't exactly downriver

I ended up stopping at Motor City Brewing and got a few kegs from them.

I'd still like to find a one-stop shop for all brands though.

Any grocery store or party store can order kegs they come on regular delivery trucks. There really isn't a mark up on kegs $5-$10 over cost unless they are assholes.
