I think we can both agree that if a customer receives a beer at room temperature, they’re not going to be too happy.  While you can easily store beer bottles and cans in a standard refrigerator, it’s not that easy when it comes to serving up chilled drafts of beer. Make sure your customers beers are always ice cold by using a Keg Cooler.

A Keg Cooler, better known as a Kegerator or Beer Cooler is a draft beer dispensing device that dispenses beer that was stored in a keg. While a keg can be tapped without a Keg Cooler, the major benefit of using one, is it keeps the beer chilled and fresh while providing the signature foamy head which is ubiquitously equated with a well tapped draft beer.

Regardless of shape or size, all Kegerators essentially have the same basic components:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) cylinder
  • Carbon dioxide regulator
  • Coupler
  • Tubing (special carbon dioxide tubing as well as line for the beer)
  • Keg
  • Faucet
  • Refrigerator
Stay tuned! Tomorrow we’ll teach you how to select the right size Keg Cooler for your business.
