Wyandotte? I can't even give you a recommendation on where to look.

For example, I sent him a 4 pack of the 2011 14.5% ABV Goose Island BCS, and a $21.99 bottle of North Coast Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XIV, and he hooked me up with a case of Arcadia Bourbon Barrel aged Shipwreck Porter.

Brooklyn Black OPS
North Coast Old Stock Ale 2009
North Coast Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XIV

How many cases are in a 1/4 barrel? I can't remember... 3 1/2?

Also, can you a keg of a micro brew at a liquor store? Is that common?

Pretty sure it's 3 1/2.

If it helps, 5 gal=2 cases

You might have to order it depending on what you want. I don't think they keep craft kegs on hand.
