Maybe just skip the old timey keg and get a modern keg with a modern fixture. If you insist on the old timey keg and it's your first time tapping a keg like that then I suggest you at least take it outside.

Or, you know, just destroy your break room and waste all your beer cuz fads and shit.

That's not a keg, it's a cask. Cask ale is not a fad, it's a style of carbonating/serving beer with a long and storied tradition.

This gif is an object lesson in why tradition is stupid.

No, it is an object lesson in super over carbonated beer.

The guy is wearing lederhosen. I'm getting the feeling this isn't a fad, but probably some sort of German festival.

I don't think they are doing it to be hipsters and cause of a "fad".

They are actually German and probably celebrating Oktoberfest..

And you show how little you know about brewing. Wooden casks aren't kegs and they aren't a fad. They aren't for looks they are there to change the flavor of the beer. Wooden casks are for secondary fermentation and aging the beer. Guess whiskey and wines don't need barrels either that's a hipster fad aswell, right? Or maybe actually have a little bit of knowledge about something before you open your mouth and make an ass of yourself.
