The Economic and Earth-Friendly Beer Keg…

Your kegerator saves you money!

Everyone knows there is nothing better than beer-on-tap.

And every kegerator owner knows the value of draft beer when you consider the economics of dispensing draft beer at home, and the benefits the beer keg delivers in protecting our environment. After all, the beer keg has been around since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, and its still going strong.

The eco-friendly beer keg wins out every time; it not uncommon to find a beer keg 30 years in service delivering brewery fresh draft beer and costing anywhere from 3 -5 cents per ounce! In fact over this 30 - year period a single beer keg will dispense over 20,000 pints, that is the equivalent to over 27,000 cans and bottles requiring disposal.

The beer keg is returnable, refill-able and recyclable! And when it comes to the experience of tapping some of world’s finest draft beers, you realize – it doesn’t get better than this, the best of the brewer’s art at your fingertips in the comfort of your own home – in a keg package that reduces solid waste. The beer keg definitely walks the walk.

There is no doubt the take-home pint is a good deal especially now when managing personal budgets and savings is a top priority. You can easily save 30-40% each time you pour a draft, compared to the cost of bottles and cans, and for specialty or craft beers in keg the savings can be over 50%!

In some respects I guess we can call the beer keg the brewing industries contribution to offering an economic stimulus package (I know, a bad joke) but in the end it is about saving money and enjoying your favorite beer on tap.

For the veteran kegerator user we are preaching to the converted and for those looking for ways to save money we suggest you take your garage refrigerator or get a used refrigerator and tap into the value of draft beer and start saving today. There can be a strong argument made for opening up a “kegerator savings account” - take the savings from enjoying draft beer in your home and put it away for a rainy day.

We know there is no substitute for going to the pub with your friends and enjoying a cold one on tap - but it is also good to know that there are options on those days and nights when this is not possible. Just think of the time and gas you’ll save, just a little more humor!

In the end it’s about getting the best quality at the greatest value and this is why the number of kegerator owners continues grow by the thousands each year. By far, the kegerator owner is the most discriminating consumer and through experience has learned that the best bang for your buck is “On Tap”.

Get ready for summer and take advantage of the savings to be gained from dispensing draft beer from your own kegerator all year round… and by the way it is a great way to make friends and influence people!

Cheers!
