There have been many kegs that have been cutting edge, but none are quite as attractive and slick as the BeerTender Black Edition.
Normally when one thinks of a keg, the image is of a barrel made from steel or aluminum. The BeerTender Black Edition, however, is made from ultra-fine-grade leather. Contrasting the slick material are a beautiful silver handle and four LED screens on top. The screens are there to "indicate the stages of production of the beer inside," according to Bornrich. For example, users will get information on the readiness of the beer and when it should be changed.
When it comes to kegs, it doesn't get any classier than the BeerTender Black Edition. This does come at a price; it'll set you back $578.
