Kegerators Blog

When buying your first kegerator, most of us opt for the cheapest solution available. This is very understandable, as the cost of a kegerator is rather expensive, but keep in mind that you may want to upgrade your kegerator later down the road.

Take for example that I bought a single tap tower kegerator about two years ago and only used it for commercial kegs for gatherings and parties. Now that I have entered the world of home brewing there has been many opportunities for me to utilize my kegerator as a storage, chilling and dispensing tool.

After waiting almost a year, Sears has finally agreed to list their Kenmore kegerator in the Kegerators.com catalog. It seems Kenmore is one of the last brands that was missing from the over 20 brands of kegerators in the catalog already.

The Kenmore kegerator is very similar to the Haier and Sanyo model and is priced right under $600. If you are doing some searching around for information on this unit, you will find that most of the information is about converting a Kenmore compact refrigerator and using a conversion kit.

Who better than Viking to create a weather-resistant stainless steel kegerator for elegant outdoor kitchens and charge over $3,000 bucks for it! I think it is funny that they charge so much for these units when you can get a no name brand with all the same features for a fraction of the cost.

None-the-less the Viking brand line of kegerators made it into the catalog on Kegerators.com. I wouldn’t want to keep anything from you guys :). My advice is to compare them to some of the other stainless steel outdoor kegerators and decide if the name "Viking" is worth an extra $2k.

I wanted to let everyone know how great the kegerator contest is going. I have received over 1000 entries in less than 13 days. I’ve received emails from troops in Iraq, teachers in Ohio and homebrewers from all over the U.S. This is really exciting to think that someone will actually win this keggerator and someday be pouring a cold one from it.

I also wanted to clarify that I have the option to pay or not to pay the shipping on the prize. I put that in the contest rules just in case the winner is in Hawaii or Alaska, but most likely I will pay the shipping if the winner is inter-continental since I want the winner to really feel the joy of a completely free kegerator.

I recently released a 10-part series on the history of the kegerator entitled "The Rise of Cold Beer Drinking" and have been getting some nice comments back on the research that was done. The articles explore the history of refrigeration and how the the kegerator came to be.

Beer.com has published all ten articles in the series on their website and I also was asked to do an exclusive  interview for the Beer.com PodCast (8MB). The guys over at Beer.com were nothing but awesome about publishing the series and I look forward to working with them in the future.
