Poker Night Is A Great Time To Tap The Kegerator

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

For many guys across the nation, poker night is a night to get together with a bunch of buddies to shoot the breeze, drink some beer, maybe smoke some cigars, and of course, to play poker.  For those that have a home kegerator, poker night with the guys can be the perfect excuse to tap the kegerator and toss back a few beers while relaxing and having a few laughs.

Home kegerators provide the great tasting draft beer taste that you can otherwise only get at an actual bar.  They keep the beer cold and fresh and dispense the beer through a tap, just as the bartender would at your favorite watering hole.  The great thing about scheduling poker night at the house of whoever owns the home kegerator is that it can make you feel like you’re actually playing the game at your local casino, or in the back room of your local bar.  This can make “guys night” feel that much more authentic and can add to the ambiance surrounding your favorite card game.

In addition to the draft beer you’ll all enjoy from the home kegerator, poker night wouldn’t be complete without some good food.  Pizza is often a favorite of poker night, but depending on how much effort you want to put into the food at your get together, you may also want to opt for a barbecue, where you can make Guinness  sliders, hot dogs, ribs or steak.  Of course, you can also order in wings, Chinese food or some other favorite ethnic food.  Or, everyone can simply bring a snack or two and you can make do with whatever winds up on the table.  For the most part, everyone will be more interested in the great tasting beer than what kind of food is on the menu, so planning the menu doesn’t need to be too big a deal.

If your poker night games include a bunch more guys than would play in any one game at a time, you’ll probably notice that the extras that aren’t in the game will have no problem sitting out if they can hang out around the kegerator and have a beer or two when they’re not playing.  It’ll give friends time to shoot the breeze, tell a few jokes or catch up on each other’s lives.  If there’s also a dart board or a pool table nearby, that’s another good diversion for those that are not playing cards and will surely be a welcome addition to poker night festivities.

Of course, poker night doesn’t only have to be a guys-only night out and can be an equally fun night when there is mixed company or when it’s a ladies-only night as well.  And, whether poker night consists of guys only, girls only or a mixture of the two – and whether it’s a singles night or a night that those who are married get a break from the usual routine, poker night is sure to be a much anticipated night out for all.  Adding in some great tasting draft beer and some good eats are sure to add even more to the card-playing fun!

DOWN WITH OVERPAYING!

Stop ordering expensive beers every time you go out to the bar! Pour ‘em at home!

“I’m telling you, Bill, it feels so good to not depend on local bars and big box chains for my beer. Now that we’re pouring beer at home out of our Magic Beer Machine we picked up, I feel like we’re making a difference.”

“By dispensing beer?”

“Yeah, by dispensing beer! These things are perfect for us; they don’t take up a lot of space, cost per beer is lower, and we can also use it as a fermentation chamber for making our own beer at home!”

“Well that’s a great way to save some money and help ease the burden on the local bars in this country.”

“PLUS we get to stick it to Wally World and the like! No more overpriced tasteless brews! Hell no, BYO! Keep your rice out of my life!”

“Right. The companies responsible for bringing the lowest possible prices to customers in human history. Those are the guys we want to stick it to.”

“Don’t you read the Internet? THEY’RE EVIL!

Housewarming Parties and Portable Kegerators

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Welcome To The Neighborhood!

Welcome To The Neighborhood!
Looking for a great way to welcome in the new neighbors down the street? Host a housewarming party for them! You can invite a bunch of people from the neighborhood so that the new family can feel welcomed and can get to know the people that live on their street.

Another way to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood is to plan the party at their house (with their permission, of course!) and have each person in the neighborhood bring some food or drinks so that the new family is more the guest than a host.

If you want to plan a housewarming party at either your own home or the home of a new neighbor, having a portable mini kegerator (and bringing the mini keg with you to the party) is a great way to add to the festivities. A portable kegerator is basically a small sized appliance, about the size of a coffee maker, which houses a mini-sized keg of beer and dispenses it from a tap. Because of its small size, it is easily transportable, so you can take it with you when the party is somewhere other than your own home. And since a mini kegerator holds as much beer as a bunch of cans or bottles, it is an easy way to show up with the beer for the party, and also serves as a gathering spot for guests during the party.

By setting up a portable kegerator at a housewarming party, it serves as a place where people can gather and can get to know the new neighbors. For some reason, the kegerator becomes the spot to “hang out”, much like you would sit around the bar in a restaurant. Maybe it’s just the great tasting draft beer than no one wants to be far from or maybe it’s just the fact that a mini kegerator is a cool conversation piece that draws attention to a crowd. Whatever it is, having a mini kegerator to gather round is very different than if everyone just takes his or her own can or bottle of beer from a cooler and then disperses. Even better? If you neighbor has a keezer (freezer converted to hold kegs) then you my friend have hit the jackpot!

If your neighborhood is extremely social and generous, and always enjoys having a good party, you and your neighbors may even want to consider chipping in a few dollars apiece to buy the new neighbors a mini kegerator as a housewarming gift from the rest of the neighborhood. Check out a cool service call Pay It Square. You can collect/pool money online for a gift.

Of course, before you do so, you should try to find out if the new neighbors even enjoy drinking beer, because if not, this gift may not be very well received. But if they do, it can be a rather unique gift that says “Welcome to the neighborhood! We look forward to spending fun times with you in the future.”

If you’re looking to buy a mini or portable kegerator for the new neighbors as a housewarming gift, you can find models that range in price from around $100 or so to upwards of $300 or more. Mini kegerators often come in a sleek, stainless steel design, so they are sure to go with most any décor and look great on a home bar or kitchen counter. Most can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet at home or can be converted to an adaptor that plugs into a car, truck or RV for those that like to take their party on the road.

Housewarming parties are a great way to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood, while also being a great way for old neighbors to catch up with one another. Gathering around the portable kegerator – or chipping in to supply the new neighbors with their very own mini kegerator as a housewarming gift – can really be a thoughtful way to let your new neighbors know that you are happy to have them in your neighborhood.
