Where are MillerCoors Light Home Draft units available?

MillerCoors used to sell Coors Light Home Draft and Miller Light Home Draft "kegs" at my local grocery store, but I have not seem them in a long time.

The reason I ask is because these units are very similar to the Tap-A-Draft, which is designed for local brewery take-home as well as for home brewers.

If you can find a way to get rid of the Miller or Coors beer, it's a much better deal to just buy the full one at the grocery store for $18, since a tap and empty bottle at the home brew store is $43 plus shipping. But alas, they have disappeared from stores in Charlotte, NC.

I think that in at least selected areas, distributors report the MillerCoors product has been discontinued. But the product still shows on the Wal-Mart site, and shows on the MillerCoors "Innovation" page.

Does anyone live near a store that still carries these?

Thank you for contacting MillerCoors.

Unfortunately, Coors Light Home Draft was discontinued due to lack of consumer demand. 
Sales simply did not warrant production. It was good of you to share your interest in this 
product and perhaps you may be interested in trying another MillerCoors brand.

We appreciate your interest in our products.

Sincerely,

MillerCoors Consumer Affairs Department
