BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Buying a keg for your next party is a little more expensive. Large breweries have complained about losing thousands of beer kegs a year in Michigan because retail beer customers have been selling off the stainless steel barrels at scrap yards rather than returning them to stores to get their $10 deposit back.
As a result, state alcohol officials have boosted the deposit from $10 to $30, The Bay City Times reported Sunday.

They initially asked it to be jacked up to a $90 deposit....

Shit, I would throw a part and drive all the way up there for $80 per keg profit.
