GPS To Track Alcohol - Beer Kegs Go High Tech
Beer Kegs Go High Tech
 Published: Sep 3, 08

The tough economic times have produced a market in which a typical 18-pound keg is worth about $35. It’s not the stale beer but, the stainless steel that boosts the price.

To combat would-be thieves from scarfing the kegs, Cincinnati distributors are installing GPS-tracking devices into the kegs. Is this really theft prevention or just an underage drinking squad?
