The Chicago-based company recently debuted the “Home Draft” — a $20 1-gallon box of its biggest brands — Miller Lite and Coors Light — that fits upright in a refrigerator and stays fresh for 30 days. The nation’s second-largest brewer began testing the draft-beer system — designed to be consumed periodically rather than for one-time use — in a half-dozen cities.

But gosh now that I hunted I don’t really think I can eat them–this is the weekend for my detox fast.
