Best Kegerators
Once upon a time, to get a cold, refreshing draught beer, you’d have to go to your favorite bar and see what they had on tap. These days, more and more people have jumped on the bandwagon of keeping their own kegs of beer at home, both for everyday refreshment and for catering to parties and larger gatherings. Thankfully, there's a device for that: the kegerator. As the name implies, a kegerator is a refrigerator specifically designed for a keg. Kegerators are usually just the right size to contain a single keg of beer and feature a built-in tap at the top for pouring beer right from the refrigerator or kegerator. Ready to take the backyard bar up a notch? Check out some of these great kegerators we found.
