Tap-a-Canadian-Draft

[BigE]

I've been reading a lot about the Tap-a-Draft product and for me it looks like it would be a great buy. I'm not ready to make a full out kegerator right now but do have a fridge with lots of room and would rather bottle less. However, trying to find this in Canada on-line or from a place that will actually ship to Ontario without crazy cross border fees is all but impossible?
Does anyone know of any place in Canada that sells these things?

I would talk to the fine folks at Paddockwood. Normally they can get anything you want from 3B's catalogue. Since it would come in as part of thier big shipment duty et al. shouldn't be too bad.

I don't think this is what you are looking for, but it might be useful down the road.

I tried to contact them via their website but could not find an email address anywhere? I guess I could call but in this day and age I almost forget what a phone looks like?

Thanks, definitely something I'm considering in the future.

Finally got in touch with them, however they said all they have is what's on their site and they cannot get anything else....great, just great....Canada sucks for homebrew plain and simple.

I know you are disappointed, but those tap-a-draft systems are kinda half-assed. I have asked them about other similar "budget" products, and Paddock Wood is only interested in carrying quality homebrew products; for which I give them credit, as most local homebrew shops carry the cheapest crap around. I got laughed out of one store when I asked for bitter orange peel ("this ain't a grocery store" I was told).

I've ordered some products from the US, and if you shop around and do your research on shipping charges, some good deals can be found.

Thanks man,

Matt at Canadian Homebrewing Supplies did say he could hook me up with a corny system at a decent price, may just wait for the new house and build a kegerator?!
