Fact #1. Beer or ale has been sold in wooden casks for centuries, usually to major restaurant or tavern owners. The majority of these establishments maintained some type of cooling system. Individual beer drinkers had no way to keep tapped kegs from going skunk. During the second half of the 20th century, the household refrigerator became an everyday appliance. The aluminum keg began to replace the more traditional wooden barrel.
Fact #2. The keg fridge has evolved over the past fifty years, particularly with the proliferation of in-house gaming rooms and basement bars. You're likely to find at least one in every frat house, and a lot more in shared apartments of collegiate undergrads. Beer fridges have become especially popular due to the fact that buying one keg is a lot less expensive than buying the equivalent amount of cans.
Fact #3. To understand what this device is, you first have to deconstruct the word. We define the keg as a vessel that holds a large amount of beer, while a refrigerator is designed to keep anything inside it cool to prevent spoilage. The kegerator, then, is essentially a refrigerator with a protruding tap or faucet connected to an internal keg through which fresh beer may be dispensed.
Fact #4. One of the kegerator's main benefits is its ability to keep beer fresh for extended periods of time. A well-pressurized keg, for example, can keep beer fresh for up to four months. The next obvious benefit is its ability to maintain consistent temperatures.
Fact #5. You should decide whether you want to rent, buy, or build your own unit. For a one-time event, it might be worth the rental expense. If you plan to use it in your home all year, then buying or building one may be best. Many local retailers sell pre-made kits for easily modifying an existing fridge.
