What was the Keg Club?
You have an extremely long memory considering the amount of alcohol involved. Back in 1992, when we bought Keg Box #1 (1992-2006) and concluded that the market might support the sale of draft Guinness on a regular basis, it was decided to keep use a clipboard to keep track of the pints consumed by regular customers, and to reward those “kegging out” with 90 Imperial pints – or a keg’s worth of Guinness. Shortly thereafter, the Keg Club was extended to Carlsberg, the second beer on draft at Rich O’s. As the customer base expanded, it became ever more difficult to keep records, so after a few months the whole idea was dropped, but not before several dozen patrons “kegged out.” Some day I’ll list them. Until then, they have their memories … or perhaps not.
