Mini Keg – compact, portable, and bottle-free!

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:42:39 +0000

The mini keg – compact, portable and bottle free is perhaps my most favorite invention of the twentieth century. Okay so maybe that is a slight over exaggeration but really the mini keg has really changed the face of drinking beer. For the longest time the only way to enjoy a beer the way it was intended was through an expensive full size keg which was just not practical for the odd drink or two. Oh sure I mean you could easily pop a bottle of Bud Light open but it just never tastes the same until the mini keg. The mini keg really allows you to get a great flavorful beer without the crazy high prices and, when coupled with the mini kegerator will last for a long time.

I remember the first time I saw a mini keg in the store and knew right away I had to buy it. Of course at the time I had no keg tap or mini kegerator so that became a separate journey around town trying desperately to find a way to drink my precious brewski! Needless to say I ended up buying a mini kegerator which has enabled me to keep my favorite mini kegs on tap for any occasion. The beauty of the combination of the mini keg and mini kegerator is that it does not require constant ice or maintenance and whenever you want a frosty beer all you have to do is pull the handle!

Admittedly my girlfriend thought I was completely nuts buying a mini keg with no way to drink it but as soon as the mini kegerator arrived I was able to quickly hook it up and get running with it! Right away she was suitably impressed and removed any doubt she had in her mind that the mini kegs were the wave of beer drinking for the future. What I personally love about the mini keg is that it is so easy to take to peoples houses and a crowd loves it! I have known tons of people that I have personally turned onto the mini keg lifestyle who now enjoy plenty of fresh tasting great beer every day (well I do not recommend drinking every day you catch my drift!)

So in essence the mini keg is everything that the bottle of beer is not. It’s fresh, tasty and always cool (so long as you use a mini kegerator) and provides an exceptional head every single poor. Grab your mini keg today!

Buy a Mini Cooler

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 04:44:01 +0000

So you want to buy a mini cooler do you? Haven’t got the slightest idea where to buy a mini cooler? Well you have found the right place let me tell you! We here at Best Mini Kegs have done all the research for you to help you buy a mini cooler you will simply love! Mini coolers are some of the best ways to keep your frosty brew cool and delicious – the way they were intended to be!

When looking to buy a mini cooler it will be important to establish a few guidelines such as the price you want to pay, the size you want and any extra features that are important to you. Now of course mini coolers do not have to be used just for beer they can be used for just about anything you can think of. Personally I have used my mini cooler or portable cooler (as some people call them) on cross country road trips and even just going over to a friend’s house to watch the game.

It can be tough when you go to buy a mini cooler for me to tell you exactly how much to pay because there are just so many variables involved in the whole process. However whenever you look at portable coolers make sure that you spend the time to figure out what features you are getting for the price and compare them (or you can take our advice and grab the featured mini coolers below which we think has the best price to features ratio).

One specific feature I always like to suggest to my readers of Best Mini Keg is that they grab a portable cooler that has a 9 volt connection for their car because that feature alone has been indispensible for me! I loaded up a six pack (of soda because there is no way I condone drink driving!) and drove about 10 hours through the heat of Arizona and New Mexico. Now in a normal cooler the ice would have melted and probably turned warm thus causing my soda to become warm. Not so with my mini chiller. The mini cooler I had bought was plugged into the cigarette lighter and kept my drinks cold! What a life saver!

So to summarize when you want to buy a mini cooler grab one that has a good price to feature ratio (like the one below) and furthermore one that has a way to keep your drinks cool in the harshest of conditions!

Check out some of the mini coolers below!

So to start with, when you buy a keg tap you have got to make sure that you have the right type of keg tap for the mini keg dispenser that you own and also the type of frosty brew you will be serving. Different types of beer can require different keg tap configurations to dispense properly. Take for instance Guinness. Guinness needs a nitrogen/CO2 mixed blend to push the beer through the lines and maintain the proper Guinness consistency. The nitrogen/CO2 blend comes in an all-in-one air tank that contains 75% nitrogen and 25% CO2. The nitrogen is what gives Guinness its world famous head and you have got have the right keg tap for it. If you have gone to the trouble of getting a really nice mini keg dispenser, a really nice beer and then buy a keg tap which is really awful you will sincerely regret it.

Inevitably once you know how to buy a keg tap the next question is always do you know “how to tap a keg?” and that question is a little more involved. For this we recommend the following video from CHOW:

Buy a Mini Keg

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 04:42:53 +0000

I remember when I went to buy a mini keg for the first time way back in my college days I honestly had NO idea what on earth I was talking about. I wanted to look cool and hip so I asked the guy at the local liquor store for a mini keg of Bud Light. He went into the back of the shop for a minutes and came out with it and I felt proud that I had gone out to buy a mini keg. I got back the party and produced the mini keg. At this point the whole party busted up laughing and I could not figure out why. It had to have been at least twenty minutes before someone took pity and asked me where the tap was. You see I had no idea how to buy a mini keg and everything I needed to make it work so I just said to the clerk “I want to buy a mini keg” and that was that!

Fortunately you can learn from my mini keg buying mistakes and buy a mini keg being fully informed and well versed in the ins and outs. Right from the get go you need to determine if you will be going with a domestic mini keg or an international mini keg as this makes a difference in the tap selection that you make. If you get the wrong tap for the kind of beer you will soon be covered in spilled beer and certainly not the most liked person at the party.

Once you have figured out the type of mini keg, ascertain if you will be able to use a mini kegerator such as EdgeStar Mini Kegerator & Beer Dispenser (see below) which will make the whole process much easier. If you will not be using a mini kegerator then make sure you have some sort of mini keg dispense such as a tap that matches the beer product. Mini kegs really do not have to be that complicated and often times it is quite easy to buy a mini keg.
