Well St. Patty’s day came a touch early. My Irish Ale. This turned out well. Some caramel some roast and can drink more than one.
What are you drinking right now?

I will withhold my other billy goat comment...
The Trex I used for my front steps is not at all slippery when wet. Have not yet stepped on it with frost, but I am forewarned! We don't use the front steps much.

First beer pour from my keg
Kölsch-ish
Carbed enough, I think. Could be a bit colder. Reallly working on getting another fridge or freezer operational.
Slight sweetness, little bit fruity but very drinkable. I think it will still change quite a bit in the next week.
I was scared of too much foam with the first pour. Hence the big glass (good excuse hey) and the beer not having good foam
Note to self. Make sure the connectors are a little moist before connecting as you wont get them on bone-dry

Looks super tasty
So are all of those picnic taps leaking? I have four and not one leaks at all.

Mine will drip when you turn it upside down, but not technically leak as it will stop. I have very little room at the top of my corny keg, and it would drip if under high pressure before I tightened down the clamps. There was a lot of stuff in that pic, and you need to tighten down step by step.
Yeah they shouldn't drip!
I ran one on a keggerator for a couple of years no drips it just gummed up a bit from beer stone/crud.
Easy way to stop it dripping is disconnect from the keg.
A little helpful tip the liquid disconnect can gum up a bit from beer around the slieve so a squirt with sanitizer should help.
Edit hope I don't come across too harsh here is a pic of mine disassembled
So the beer comes up through the hole on right and this silicone type plunger should just seat back on that opening once tap is released
So maybe take the tap apart and check for anything fouling the seal.
It's a pretty simple setup so I can imagine if your running high pressure you just might be able to bypass this plunger
