WHAT IS
DRAFT?
Draft beer is a recognized form of tasty, refreshing
and flavorful beer on tap from a keg system. Typically,
this form of beer is served at pubs, bars or restaurants
to guests looking forward to flavorful and inexpensive
beer. The word draft is actually English for the word
“draught” which meant ‘to pull’
from a cask of conditioned ale dispensed with a hand
pump. Draught beer often refers to beer ‘on
tap’ that comes from 5 gallon containers or
less. Click here to see
other sizes, less than 5 gallons, that keg beer comes

The specifics and differences of keg vs. bottled beer
should be recognized. The major difference between
bottled / caned beer and keg beer is the pasteurization
process. Keg beer is almost never pasteurized and
that means the keg MUST be kept cold. And ultimately
this is the way the brewers wanted you to taste and
enjoy their beers; not from a pasteurized can. Pasteurized
beer, bottled beer, is packaged at very high temperatures
that kill the flavor of the beer. Don’t get
me wrong I love beer out of a bottle or can, however
a beer out of a keg is an extra treat in flavor.
Drink
Fresh Kegerator Beer.
The brewers
and handlers of beer spend a lot of distribution dollars
to keep kegs at the proper temperatures after leaving
the brewery. This also includes getting the keg to
the consumers within the freshness date of a keg.
A keg of beer is usually considered ‘brewery
fresh’ between 30 to 45 days after leaving the
brewery and it is the responsibility of the product
stream to ensure this happens. Ultimately, the result
is a much higher quality, brewery fresh taste and
body out of the beer served from a kegerator.
Save Money
Drinking From A Kegerator.
Draft beer is also a treat most people do not have
access to at home. So for many beer drinkers they
can only get the quality, fresh, easy drinking flavors
from draught beer at bars or restaurants, and beer
on tap is excellent. When people drink good beer they
have good times; enjoying good beer is essential to
a beer drinking experience. When enjoying good beer
why should we have to pay more for it? Why not enjoy
a quality drink for half the cost? Why not drink from
home out of your own draught beer system and pay pennies
for the beer your drink, all while avoiding strict
DUI laws and penalties? Draught beer saves you money
with each beer you drink. Think about the $3.00 (plus
tip) draughts you have ordered from a bar before;
now think of drinking from your OWN draft beer system
and spending only 85 cents – or less - on those
same draughts beers. Do your own math per keg and
discover how much you can save from pouring your own
keg draft beers.
Draft Beer Saves The Planet.
Not only does drinking beer save you money to spend
elsewhere, but it also shows you care about the environment.
Keeping bottles and cans out of the landfill and recycling
centers saves resources. Be kind to our planet and
drink from reusable cups. It’s easy, you have
plenty of glasses around, wash them and reuse them.
Every little effort for the environment helps.
