How much is a kegerator and where do I get one? I am liking this idea. Why would you bother with generic beer in a keg other than llfor a large party…ie bud, coors, miller…you get the idea. They are bottom tier beers that are cheap for a reason, get a keg so you can have REAL draft beer at home…not bud light, you might as well call the culligan man to fill your keg! I have a double tap in my home bar and love it. I think I about break even on my commercial tap but come out way ahead on running home brew from the other.
FYI- in the authors chart above Guinness Draught comes in a Do it because you want to, not because it can be shown to be cheaper. It really isnt cheaper. There are so many more costs not listed above. That being said I have a kegerator and I love it I also homebrew. Yes it makes the most sense for microbrewed beers. With your yearly savings you could buy top of the line perlick or high end micromatic taps..
Hey to each his own….. Some breweries even advocate drinking their winter warmers and bocks above 50 degrees. Specialzed keg tools? Keep it simple …. While this arguably leads to more door opens increasing electricity, it is still less than operating an additional unit. Heck, even PBR is more expensive than Bud in a keg. Ultra and you claim taste…..? I presently have a porter and a scotch ale on tap.
Frankly, I suspect my annual beer expense is about the same as bottles, because we happily consume a lot more beer. In Michigan, we return bottles, so not returning a bottles a year is a huge side benefit and clean up after a party is a breeze. I like it for convenience and fresh draft beer.
I usually drink Revolution Anti-Hero. The cost is about the same. Is a keg worth it in that case? Factor in how fast you will drink it, and how long it will stay fresh, and for now, cans win over kegs. I thought the more quantity you pay, the cheaper it is. This is not the case in Reno, NV. This is crazy.. Somebody needs to rethink the pricing of Kegs. You are the only one to bring that fact up? I think what it comes down to is how much you enjoy keg beer — because anyway you slice it, you are going to spend about the same.
You will for sure spend more upfront for the kegerator, co2 and supplies. I would bet the cost to cool the keg is more electricity as well, vs. AA may be the answer! Obviously beer is much more expensive in Tennessee than every other state. Each to his own is correct. There are no savings when it comes to the cost of draft vs.
One with 3 taps in my lake house where I live 6 months out of the year. Who really cares. Bottom line, if anything, is convenience not economics. Going green — yes. The trash thing — absolutely. Storage — most definitely. The rest — BS!! I had three kegerators on my Hatteras. One in the salon, one on the bridge and one aft adjacent to the fighting chair. Non of which eliminated the need for bottled beer. The second time I ran dry while fighting a world record bill fish the kegerators went overboard.
Fired 8 if the crew as soon as we returned to port on my island. Since making the change I have never come close to running out of beer on a fishing trip. Admittedly, we have a bit of a bias here, but we recommend shopping for your kegerator at kegerator.
Your chart here might be even more useful if you had a few representative microbrews from around the country. Not everybody drinks mainstream; doubt I need to tell you that! Where do you buy your kegs? We had a kegorator 10yrs ago.
My consumption skyrocketed. Average keg lasted 18 days. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Additional costs:. Some refrigerators are specially made for housing and dispensing kegs. The units typically have a tap installed in the top to dispense the beer and store the keg in a chilled environment. Kegerators can keep a keg fresh for up to two month and do not come with the keg included.
Kegs can be rented for extended periods. Generally, at least two bags are needed; more for larger keg sizes. Beer pong is a popular pastime at parties with kegs. Beers are typically discounted around major holidays such as Fourth of July and Memorial Day.
Those might be times to find discounts on keg-size quantities. Shopping for a keg:. Kegs can be heavy, so make sure to have someone capable of carrying the weight. Each gallon of beer weighs about 11 pounds, so for a full-size keg be prepared to carry up to pounds. Comments 2.
