How to Tap a Keg

I'm too lazy to write a full guide myself, so I'm just going to direct you over to the guys at Wired who seem to be on a beer kick lately. They have a step by step guide to tapping a sanke keg (the standard tap). This shouldn't be anything new, anyone who knows what a solo cup is should have learned to tap a keg by now. If you're behind on the curve, this is for you. It also has a few things to think about for veterans.

One thing they forget to mention, don't actually roll the keg (they say something like "you just rolled the keg in"). Put it on something, like a dolly, that rolls.

Enjoy.

Ps. For those of you interested, I've been drinking a lot of beers from California lately. If you're looking for something new, you can never go wrong with any variety of Bear Republic or Stone. As a warning, more of there brews are heavily hopped than not. If that worries you, go for a pale ale or something that claims it's light and summery.
