Food Poisoning from Draft beer?

A friend Suggested to me that I could get food poisoning from Draft Beer. I said I didn't think it was possible because the Keg system is 'closed' and there would be no way for bacteria to enter the system. Has anyone ever heard of Food poisoning from draft beer? If so please give links

    its just a myth; beer flows constantly through those lines and is always being flushed out. many bartenders will also drain the first few ounces of a beer before pouring into a glass if the tap has been sitting for a while. this is more to remove beer that has warmed up in the lines than anything else.

    No, the only way is it's very old and taken from cool to hot many times. Some people's stomaches can't handle some beers, this is true.
