I'm having an casual event in a few weeks and initially looked into getting a keg but it seems as if they're viewed as premium items here, mainly obtained for formal events thereby garnering a marked-up, premium price, making them rather cost-prohibitive assuming cost is your primary motive for purchasing in the first place - at it was for me.
I'm just looking to pick up 7-8 cases (24pk) of 7-11 type offerings, Tsingtao, Singha, etc.. The local Welcome marts are sufficiently cheap but I was wondering if there is a distributor type place - akin to the walk-in retail distributors that are rather ubiquitous in the US - where I can grab a few cases at closer to wholesale prices.
