Break Out The Kegerator, It's Bachelor Party Time!

Let’s face it – bachelor and bachelorette parties are a time to have fun, let loose a little and enjoy a last wild night before the wedding.  There are many options of what to do during bachelor and bachelorette parties, but most options include drinking, in some shape or form.

One way to really get a bachelor or bachelorete party rolling is to break out the draft beer dispenser!  Because of its small size, you can take it with you just about anywhere you go (assuming it is legal to do so!)  That means you and your buddies will have cold tasty beer with you, available at a moment’s notice, to keep your spirits high throughout the night.

So, what’s the point of bringing a mini portable kegerator with you during a bachelor party?  Well, the answer is simple – you can have access to beer wherever you are.  Many guys opt to rent a limo for the evening to take them to their destination (or destinations) during the bachelor party so they can live it up, and drink it up, without having to worry about who’s driving or how they’re getting home.

If you’re driving around in a limo, then chances are that you want to have a few beers along the way – and what better way to do that than to bring along a mini kegerator with you so you can dispense the beer yourself as you head to your intended destination.

A mini kegerator is sized to fit one of those small 5-liter mini kegs of beer.  This size is probably perfect for you and your buddies for the night (or if not, you can bring a few) and provides the same great tasting, draft beer that you would get at the bar you’re headed to, for a lot less money.  This means that you can have a few beers along the way and save some cash when you hit your destination, since individual beers at bars and clubs will cost way more than the price of the beer in your mini kegerator.  If you’re headed somewhere rather far away, such as a casino, it also means that you can get the party started before you get to where you’re going.

If someone attending the bachelor party doesn’t already have a mini kegerator to bring along to the party, buying one for the groom-to-be can be a great gift.  You can buy a mini kegerator for around $100 – $300 and fill it with a 5 liter mini keg for the bachelor party.  The guys at the party can even each chip in a few bucks and make it a group gift that the groom will surely appreciate.  The guest of honor will have a great gift to start his new married life with – and you will have a reason to head over and visit!  Mini kegerators are a great addition to any home bar, and because they are portable, they can be taken to parties, can be used out by the pool or on the deck, or can be the centerpiece at tailgating parties.

Girls can get the same benefits from using a mini kegerator at the bachelorette party as guys can.  Just as during the bachelor party, girls can take a mini kegerator with them in the limo while heading out for a night on the town so they can enjoy some great tasting beer along the way.  Some mini kegerators even dispense wine.  The nice thing about having a mini kegerator is that wherever the bachelorette party may go, there is some free-flowing fun along for the ride.

So, when planning your next bachelor or bachelorette party for a friend, think about bringing along a mini kegerator to add to the fun – and to lower the cost of buying drinks at the bar.  It’ll be an addition to the party that all participants should truly appreciate!

It's Tailgating Season with Draft Beer!

Wings. Chips. Hot dogs. Beer.  There’s nothing like the fun – and the food – involved in tailgating before the big game.  Tailgating parties are not only a prelude to the football frenzy, they are part of the football frenzy.  If you love to tailgate, then having a portable beer cooler or a mini beer kegerator is an added bonus that will surely make you one of the most sought after attendees at your next tailgating party.

This is for the professional tailgater – $4,999.99 from Poplin Fabrication

Beer is almost always a big component of the tailgating tradition.  Whether in bottles or cans, football fans want their beer cold and they want their beer fresh – no matter how low the temperature may drop outside.  Even when the windchill starts to dip, no one wants to drink warm beer.  That’s why having a portable beer cooler can make you lots of friends at your next tailgating extravaganza.  Portable beer coolers come in a variety of different sizes to house different quantities of beer.  They work by plugging their 12V cord into the car’s cigarette lighter or alternate power source so the interior contents can stay cool.  Portable beer coolers are versatile because they not only chill cans and bottles of beer, they can chill snacks as well.

If you really want to be a hit at your next tailgating party, consider bringing a mini kegerator instead.  There’s nothing like the taste of genuine draft beer when you’re celebrating before the big game, and no matter how many cans or bottles of beer a portable beer cooler may hold, nothing beats the taste of beer on tap.  It’s pretty hard to bring a full keg to the parking lot outside of the football stadium, so bringing a mini kegerator can do the trick instead.  Mini beer kegerators fit the mini-sized, 5 liter kegs of beer, such as those sold by Heineken and other brands.  The kegerator keeps the beer cold and dispenses the contents of the mini keg from a tap, just like a larger keg of beer.  This gives you all the benefits of draft beer taste, in a convenient ‘take-it-with-you’ package.

If you are having a large gathering of people at your football tailgating party, you may need more beer than what is housed in one 5 liter mini keg, so you can simply bring along extra mini kegs to put into your mini kegerator so that you can keep dispensing great tasting draft beer throughout the duration of your tailgating party, rather than running short.  That makes it easy to transport the amount of beer necessary to satisfy all participants at the tailgating party, without having to lug a heavy keg or tons of cans and bottles.

The good news about opting for a mini kegerator filled with a 5 liter mini keg of beer for your tailgating party is that it is environmentally responsible way to drink your beer before the big game.  Using the mini keg saves on the many cans and bottles that would otherwise wind up in the trash or in the recycling system otherwise.  With a mini keg, all you need is a cup for each person, which can be refilled.

So, the next time you’re heading to the field for a tailgating party, don’t forget your mini kegerator or portable beer cooler.  You’ll be the hit of the party!
