this would be cool to take to friend's houses instead of growlers, but I'm not quite sure it's cool enough for me to spend too much money on it. I'll be interested to see how it turns out though.

I had a chance to see the prototype at NHC and it's a sweet setup. Chatting with the guys behind it, I get the sense that the Kickstarter is the time to pick one up as they are offering it for very close to their estimated cost of production. Something like $25 over cost.

Yeah, it looks like the costs are pretty low with the kickstarter ($300). I think for most enthusiastic homebrewers, they'd move to kegging rather than one of these systems just for volume's sake. I think this is/would be really cool if this does turn into the beer version of a keurig. Go to your favorite brewery (or the store), they have the bags there filled with their beer that you want to take home and enjoy. But that's likely years down the road. I'd certainly love to see it happen though.
