As long as you don't have a bunch of right angle turns in the run, an air cooled blower solution should work for an 8.5' or 6.5' run. You just need a blower with a bit more horsepower than the cheap PC fans many use for short 3 or 4 foot runs. But with an attached below ground garage, I don't think you need to worry about freezing anything. You would insulate the exterior of the beer line run.

be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
