Why Kegerators Can Improve Fundraiser Results

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Fundraising events can be any type of event in which the primary purpose is to raise money for a specific cause, charity, organization or individual. The events can range from anything from a small get together among friends to a large formal gathering, complete with formal attire and a formal sit-down menu. But, whatever type of fundraising event is planned, and whatever the size, you’d be surprised by how much having a beer kegerator on hand can improve the results of the fundraising efforts.

Why would a kegerator filled with beer improve fundraising outcomes? The answer is pretty simple – and pretty obvious. It’s no secret that people are a bit more relaxed and open to parting with their money if they’ve had a few drinks. That’s why almost all fundraising events offer some type of alcoholic beverages during the event, and much the same reason that casinos offer free drinks to those who are gambling. That’s not to say that you should deviously aim to get people drunk at your next fundraising even so they will donate more money. It’s just that when people are out having a good time, have had a drink or two, and know that the money they donate will help a good cause, they are more likely to contribute.

If you’re holding a fundraising event at a bar, restaurant or catering establishment, chances are that there’s already a kegerator on site, dispensing draft beer. Most bars and dining establishments that have a liquor license already own a commercial kegerator that sits behind the bar. Kegerators, which are basically like refrigerators that are made to house a keg of beer and keep it cold, are a necessary appliance for any establishment that serves beer out of a keg. This is because kegs of beer not only need to be kept cold so the beer tastes good, but so the beer keeps fresh. Then a tap or two is placed on top of the kegerator or on top of the bar to dispense the beer.

If you’re organizing a fundraising event at a location that would not already have a kegerator, then you may want to consider renting one for the event. Kegerators can be rented out so you can then purchase a keg of beer and have enough alcohol flowing throughout the whole event, even if you’ve got a big crowd. Of course, beer doesn’t need to be the only type of alcoholic beverage that is served at a fundraising event, but if you’re looking to keep costs down so you can keep the amount of money that goes towards the fundraiser’s bottom line up, then beer is your best option. See how much beer you would need for your fundraiser with our Beer Calculator.

Another way that a kegerator can improve the outcome of your next fundraiser is by using it as a raffle or auction item. In this case, we’re not talking about a full sized kegerator, but rather one of the smaller mini kegerators that can be a great addition to any home. Mini kegerators are unique small appliances that house a small 5 liter mini keg of beer and can sit on top of a home bar or even a table or kitchen counter. The beer keeps cold and is dispensed through a tap, just like a real kegerator.

You can purchase a mini kegerator for around $100 – $300, depending on the model, but can then use the kegerator to get people to part with their money. Have the mini kegerator be an auction item or use it in a raffle drawing if your crowd enjoys beer. The amount of money you get in raffle tickets for the appliance or bidding may far exceed the cost to buy the appliance – and since a mini kegerator is not something that most people would think about going to a store to buy, they will enjoy bidding on such a unique novelty.

So, although it doesn’t seem like an obvious combination, kegerators, whether full sized or mini, can be a great way to add success to your next fundraising event!

Have an Outdoor Kegerator? Bring It To Your Next Block Party!

Block Party Kegerator

Block parties are a great way to get out and have fun with your neighbors. Typically held in the summer, although they can also be held in the spring and fall (even if the winter if you live in a climate where winters aren’t cold and dreary), block parties are often held outside on the street where you live, in a cul-de-sac at the end of the street (if there is one) or in a front or backyard of one (or a few) of the neighbors. If you or someone on the block happens to have an outdoor kegerator, then you will surely be the hit of your next block party.

Outdoor kegerators function in the same way as indoor kegerators do. They consist of a refrigerated compartment that can house a keg of beer. The exterior of the kegerator compartment then has a single or double tap that dispenses the beer. Outdoor kegerators are available in different sizes that can house full kegs, half kegs and quarter-sized kegs. The only real difference between an outdoor kegerator and an indoor kegerator is that the outdoor model is constructed to withstand the elements outside.

If you have an outdoor kegerator built into an outdoor kitchen in your backyard, then the block party will have to come to the kegerator – meaning, the block party will wind up in your backyard because that’s where the good beer is. But if you have an outdoor serving cart with a kegerator, you can most likely bring the kegerator to the party, since most carts have wheels to make them easily transportable. This means that you can simply roll your outdoor cart and kegerator to a more central location in order to let all of your neighbors share in the good fortune of the great tasting draft beer you can offer.

Of course, a block party isn’t simply about the beer and how it is served, so you’ll also want to consider food, games and entertainment for the kids. Food at a block party is usually best handled by having everyone bring a dish to eat, or you can assign different types of food to different families. If you often plan block parties on your street, you may want to consider having a different theme each year or at each party to keep things interesting. So, you can plan a Mexican fiesta one year, an Italian festival the next and a German Octoberfest yet another (that’s clearly a themed event where you’ll want the outdoor kegerator to take center stage!). These are just a few ideas, but there are certainly many others – and one of the best ideas is just to have a good ol’ fashioned American barbecue, complete of course with good ol’ American beer along with the hotdogs and Guinness sliders.

Some block party coordinators find it easier to plan the entire menu, purchase all the food, drinks and beer and then just charge each family or person a fee to join the party. This is one option available to those who are planning a block party. Another is to just let each family contribute something to the party. However it is planned, you can be sure that having an outdoor kegerator on hand to dispense cold, fresh and great-tasting beer, will be a hit at your next block party!

A Kegerator Wedding: Start Married Life Off Right

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The “big day” is arriving soon and there’s lots to do. Of course, there’s the much coveted wedding dress to pick out by the bride, along with countless other decisions to make such as where to hold the festivities, what the invitations should look like, and who should be a part of the wedding party. Then there’s the food and drink to think about, the entertainment – and by necessity, the budget. So, with all this going on, how do kegerators fit into the picture of this blissful day?

Kegerators can be a great choice for meeting the “adult beverage” requirements for those interested in having a more informal wedding reception. Not quite for the white glove service crowd, kegerators can get the party rolling by providing great tasting, cold draft beer for the wedding guests – on a budget. The kegerator can be placed behind a bar with a paid bartender to dispense the frothy ale, or if you want to keep the party even more informal (and want to cut down on the cost of hiring a bartender!), you can simply leave the kegerator out for guests to help themselves. See how much beer you will need for your wedding using our wedding beer calculator.

Although having a kegerator at a wedding may not seem like the classiest of options, the truth is that everyone who attends a wedding is there to have a great time. Most people enjoy a party where there is some good tasting beer – and many more wedding couples are choosing to limit the alcoholic beverage selection at their weddings to beer and wine only, or even just beer, to keep costs down while still keeping the fun up. So, in fact, a kegerator can be a great way to handle the dispensing of alcoholic beverages in style at your nuptials.

For those hiring a bartender or a catering service that also handles the alcohol, a kegerator may even be something that the bartender or caterer brings or has on site. Many catering establishments already have under counter kegerators set up in their bar areas. If you are having the party at a restaurant or other dining facility that has a liquor license, they very well may have a kegerator as well and can provide you with the option of offering draft beer to your guests.

If, on the other hand, you are planning a party in a different type of venue, such as in your own backyard, in a tent outdoors, or in another non-traditional location, you may be forced to bring your own supplies – including tables, chairs, serving pieces, and even the necessities for setting up the bar area, such as a kegerator. If that is the case, and you are not using a catering company to do the work for you, you can rent a kegerator or two to supply the beer you need for the party. Very often rental companies, the same ones that will bring and set up your tables, chairs and even the tent, can rent and set up the kegerators for you, too. They may not be allowed to supply the keg that fits in the kegerator, due to laws about liquor sales in your state, but if not, you can easily ask a friend to do the honors of picking up and setting up the keg or kegs in the kegerators so they are nice and cold when it’s time to celebrate.

So, if you are looking for a way to plan a wedding to celebrate with friends and family while keeping your budget in check, consider limiting your alcoholic beverage options to only beer and wine, or beer only, rent a kegerator or two (or ask if the caterer can bring them) and get on to the fun. The expense of providing alcoholic beverages at a wedding can be one of the heftiest components of a wedding budget, but there are ways to still throw the party of a lifetime to get your new life together as a couple started without breaking the bank. Simply rely on a kegerator or two to keep the cold beer flowing!

Celebrating Labor Day With A Kegerator

Celebrating Labor Day with A Kegerator

Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer and with that rite of passage comes reason to party. Just as many people love to celebrate the start of summer on Memorial Day and mid-summer with the 4th of July, getting together with friends and family as the summer winds to a close is a great way to say goodbye to the relaxation that summer often brings. If celebrating is on the agenda this Labor Day holiday, one way to really get the party started is with a kegerator.

A kegerator is basically just a refrigerator made to house a keg of beer. It keeps the beer chilled at the perfect temperature so that each and every glass dispensed is fresh, as well as refreshing. Kegerators are great to use at parties and on holidays, such as on Labor Day, or for use as an everyday (or occasional day) option for dispensing delicious tasting, cold beer.

So what are the benefits to using a kegerator for your Labor Day celebration? Well, for one, kegerators can hold a lot of beer. A typical half keg of beer contains about the same amount of beer as 165 cans of the frosty brew. If you had to go out and buy those 165 cans to quench the thirst of your friends during your Labor Day celebration, you’d be laying out a pretty penny. In contrast, a half keg of beer is a much more economical way to imbibe with a crowd without having to reach too far into your wallet.

Another benefit to celebrating Labor Day with a kegerator on hand is that the beer just plain tastes better. Ever go to a bar and taste the difference between a draught beer on tap and one in the bottle? That’s because most breweries do not pasteurize keg beer. Almost always you’ll agree that the draught beer just tastes more like what a beer should taste like. It is fresh, it is cold, and it just tastes good, plain and simple.

Need another reason why you should opt for a kegerator, whether you are planning a big Labor Day party or just love to have a few beers after a long day of work? It’s environmentally friendly! Think of all the cans or bottles you can save by simply ditching the six-pack and instead, keeping a keg of beer on hand.

Kegs, when emptied, are typically returned to the beer distributor, cleaned out and refilled, so they are a very eco-friendly way to house the malty brew. In contrast, if you buy enough cans or bottles to equal the amount of beer contained in a keg, you will be using up five pounds or more of aluminum or glass. Those are precious resources that are wasted, and even if you are a big recycler, it takes a lot more resources, as well as effort, to return the bottles or cans, recycle them and get them to a state where they can be reused again.

So if the Labor Day celebration will be at your house this year, pull out your kegerator and let the party begin!

Kegerator Robots

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Beer and robots are a great combination. As industrial America has disappeared, industrial art and hobbies have sprung up, utilizing the tools of the bygone industrial age. Now, we can count along with the many technological wonders of the modern age, beer launching robots, beer serving robots, automated home breweries, and even robot kegerators. A beer-launching robot has even been seen on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Kegerator Robot
Wired has a kegerator robot that serves beer

Robot building just goes better with beer. There are few hobbies that don’t go better with beer – granted, it may make hobby more dangerous, but with danger comes excitement. With excitement, danger, and beer, usually there is blood as well. It follows naturally that roboticists making robots in there spare time, drinking beer, would make such robots as the ‘killer’ robots pictured here. These robots, the Subjugator, Drunken Master, and Spiderbot, were made by Christian Ristow in association with RoboChrist Industries.

A decline in industrial manufacturing and industry in the United States has not meant a decline in inventiveness in the United States. This is especially true when it comes to beer and robots. Coming out of the home brewing revival in the 1970s was also a revival of the D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself) mindset. It took a while for D.I.Y. beer and D.I.Y. robots to meet up, but finally, we are there. Sadly, most beer LAUNCHING robots can still only fire commercially produced canned beer, and not home brew. However, these two hobbies come very close with robots such as Wired’s Beer Robot – a robot kegerator.

The engineers over @ Yelp.com took a keg and tap, an Arduino, an RFID reader, and an iPad and turned them into an amazing kegerator robot. The device not only tracks who’s been drinking but also tracks information about the beer as it’s poured, including the temperature and ratings of recently poured drinks (so you’ll know when the keg is on a roll). They even put together a bookmarklet to monitor and track the keg remotely.

 

 

It should be noted that the recent wave of D.I.Y. robot building has even taken the term “home brew” to describe many garage style hobbies. This term is often used to describe a hobby interest that comes from a technical or industrial field, but is made at home, such as home brew computers, home brew robots, and even engines. This is further proof of the connection between beer and robots.

One great moment of inspiration and promotion of home brew robotics was when the Late Show with David Letterman had a special guest: the Beer Launching Fridge. Also, the beer launching robot’s maker, John W. Cornwell, Duke University graduate. The Beer Launching Fridge that Mr. Cornwell invented launches beer up to 20 feet, and is remote controlled. In a blog post, Mr. Cornwall expressed the possibility that he may make his Beer Launching Fridge commercially available, and with improvements: the new design would allow a user to swivel the robotic armature with the remote, effectively aiming the launcher.

The phenomenon of beer and robots is not only confined to the garage and DIY inventors. Asahi has built a little robotic bartender that stores and pours beer. This invention can be seen at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tXmGYk_A_c This robot seems to be built more for cuteness than efficiency, though. It takes about three and a half minutes for it to pour a beer, and it spills some, too.

One great take on the beer launcher is a mechanical unit which is foot pump operated. The ‘Ultimate Tailgating Machine’ holds 12 cans of beer and was the final group project for three student of a Design Class at U of I. See it in action at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCIGIe2T4j0 Brought to the world by Dan Larson, Justin Tobin, and Steve Walker.

As we can see, beer, kegerators and robotics are a great combination, with potential for great fun.

Decorate Your Kegerator For Independence Day

Decorate Your Kegerator For Independence Day

Independence Day, which is celebrated on the 4th of July each and every year, is a day to celebrate America’s independence, as well as all things that makes this country great. The holiday is observed by most businesses and is a federal holiday, which means that not only can you celebrate the freedom of our country, but you can celebrate your freedom from the workplace, at least for one day. Independence Day is a big day for parties, parades, BBQs and celebrations.

And, where there are celebrations, there is a place for kegerators. If you own a kegerator and are hosting this year’s 4th of July festivities at your house, you can supply cold, fresh tasting beer to your guests right from the tap. This is usually a big hit, since an icy cold beer on a hot summer’s day is not only festive, but refreshing. Even if you are not hosting this year’s Independence Day celebration, you can still bring the cold draft beer (make sure it’s a domestic brand!) to the party if you have a portable mini kegerator. Your host is sure to appreciate that!

When July 4th rolls around, no matter where the social gatherings take place, there is almost always plenty of red, white and blue to go around. You’ll find flags flying, red, white and blue balloons blowing in the wind, red, white and blue paper goods and decorations, and even some red, white and blue food. So, why not join in the patriotic spirit by not only filling your kegerator with great tasting, American beer, but also decorating the appliance in red, white and blue so it can become a centerpiece of the celebration?

Decorating your kegerator in patriotic colors is fairly easy to do. Depending on the size of your kegerator, as well as the exterior surface material, you have a few different options. For example, if the exterior surface of your kegerator is metal, you can attach magnets in the form of American flags on it. You can wrap your kegerator in red, white and blue boas, leis, or even crepe paper. You can even use patriotic looking tablecloths to cover your kegerator – all you need to do is to cut them down to size. Using vinyl tablecloths is best so any drips from the kegerator do not ruin the decorations.

If you really want to get into the holiday spirit and decorate your kegerator in a patriotic motif, whether just for the 4th of July holiday or all year long, you can buy a kegerator wrap that is custom made specifically to fit the exact specifications of your kegerator. Kegerator wraps are made from vinyl wrap, the same type that is used to wrap cars and trucks with advertising graphics, and can be the perfect way to customize your kegerator and proclaim how proud you are to be an American. See our post on Halloween Kegerators.

There are many ways that you can decorate your kegerator for Independence Day. And while it is not necessary to do so, a few red, white and blue inspired decorations on the exterior of your kegerator can subtly enhance the appreciation of the great tasting, refreshing American beer that’s on the inside.

What Does Dad Want For Father's Day? A Kegerator, Of Course!

Father's Day Kegerator

Just like Mother’s Day comes along once a year to celebrate moms all over the world, Father’s Day is a day reserved for celebrating dads. In the United States, Father’s Day is designated as the third Sunday in June, although in other parts of the world, it may fall on a different day.

Like Mother’s Day, many people take time on this day to spend time with their dads, to tell them how special they are and to give them gifts to show their appreciation. The problem is that many are often stumped as to what to buy dad for Father’s Day, other than a tie (which he probably doesn’t really need.) Moms are a little easier – they are often happy with flowers, candy or a gift certificate to a spa or restaurant. Buying for dad can be a little trickier sometimes.

If your dad or your husband likes to drink beer, the perfect Father’s Day gift may be to buy him a kegerator. A kegerator is the ultimate in man-gifts for those that love beer. It’s a novelty item that he may not buy for himself, and is something he probably doesn’t already have. So, unlike another tie that will hang in his closet unworn, the gift of a kegerator will be appreciated, enjoyed and used over and over and over. In fact, giving dad a kegerator may be one of the greatest gifts he’s ever received – except of course the gift of having you as his child.

Kegerators come in all sizes and with a variety of different functions. There are single tap kegerators and multi tap kegerators to choose from, depending on how much variety you want to give dad for his beer tapping pursuits. There are kegerator-fridge combos, so if you know that dad likes his beer, but mom prefers wine and would be more inclined to let dad keep the kegerator if she could chill her wine right beside it, then you may want to opt for this option. There are even mini kegerators that can be put on a table top or that dad can take with him if he enjoys going camping, boating or tailgating. Or if he simply needs to leave the house in order to enjoy his beer.

Along with a variety of sizes and functions, there is a variety of kegerator prices as well. Mini kegerators can be bought for around $100 or more, while some of the bigger kegerator models can cost as much as a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. How much you are willing to spend so dad can have his very own draft beer dispenser will depend on your budget, whether you are chipping in with others in the family, and more, but rest assured that at least the money you spend on a kegerator will be money well spent. Dad will get much more use and enjoyment out of a kegerator than he will out of another tie, or a tool set, or something that he doesn’t really want or need.

So, if you’re stumped about what to get dad this upcoming Father’s Day holiday, make your gift something that really shows how much you appreciate him by getting him a kegerator.

This Memorial Day, Bring the Kegerator To The BBQ

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The last Monday in May, known as Memorial Day, is a date that is anticipated by many throughout the United States all year long. This is because while this federal holiday was enacted as a way to honor all those brave individuals that have given their life during military service to our country, Memorial Day also signifies the “official” start of the summer season.

Memorial Day Kegerator

Memorial Day is a big day for parties, social gatherings and barbecues. It is a day to hang out outdoors, assuming you are lucky enough to have some nice weather where you live, and to revel in the fact that this outdoor celebration is just the beginning of a fun-filled and sun-filled summer. Of course, it is also a day to take some time out of our busy schedules to honor our fallen heroes. So, if you’re headed to a BBQ this Memorial Day weekend, why not bring along your portable kegerator?

Very often summer BBQ’s are low-key and easy going. Everyone brings something to join in the fun, so the day can be spent enjoying each other’s company outdoors rather than having to slave away in the kitchen. Someone may bring the potato salad, while another guest brings corn on the cob or watermelon. So, for your Memorial Day barbecues, as well as just about all summer outings, why don’t you make yourself known as the Kegerator Guy – the guy that brings along his portable kegerator? Being the Kegerator Guy is probably a sure-fire way to make it on many a summer BBQ guest list.

The great thing about bringing a portable kegerator to a Memorial Day BBQ is that you have an easy and convenient way to dispense cold, fresh beer while enjoying yourselves outdoors. No need to keep running back into the house to grab a few cold ones from the fridge, and no reason to have to clean up all those cans and bottles at the end of a warm summer day. Just tap your portable kegerator and you can have cold, flowing beer all day long without ever leaving the sun.

Portable kegerators are generally known as mini kegerators. They are given this name because they are smaller than standard size kegerators and because they are designed to fit mini kegs in them. A mini keg is a 5 liter keg, although some mini kegerators will even hold 6 liter mini kegs as well. All you need is an outlet to plug the appliance into, and your mini kegerator will keep your beer chilling at a perfect 38 degrees Fahrenheit all day long. Just tap the keg for some cold draft beer whenever you’re in the mood, and continue with the enjoyment of the day.

The great thing about a portable or mini kegerator is that it’s portable. Since the device is small enough to fit a mini keg inside, it makes it also small enough to easily transport with you wherever your social plans take you. All you need to do is to bring along your portable kegerator, along with a mini keg or two of your favorite beer (you can store extra mini kegs in the fridge until they are ready to be called into service), and you’ve got an easy and much anticipated contribution to any Memorial Day barbecue. And if you haven’t tapped out the keg by the end of the day, you can just bring the extra beer home with you for your own future enjoyment.

This Mother's Day, Let Mom Tap The Kegerator

Let Mom Tap The Kegerator

Mother’s Day is a day set aside for honoring our mother and is celebrated almost all over the world. It began as a U.S. holiday, being celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year, although over the years the holiday has been adopted by many other countries, and the timing of the holiday may differ depending on where in the world you are. In some countries, Mother’s Day is tied to a specific religious date or has been combined with dates that were already designated to honor mothers, such as Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom. But no matter where you or your mother may reside, the holiday is always celebrated sometime in either April or May.

When Mother’s Day rolls around, many people try to find ways to make their mom feel extra special and to give her a chance to relax from the everyday rigors of being a mom. This may include such niceties as bringing her breakfast in bed, sending her flowers, or taking her out to eat so she gets a day off from being in the kitchen. In some households, mom is given an opportunity to totally relax and to be pampered, such as taking a trip to the spa or sharing a quiet drink undisturbed by the kids after dinner.

If your mother, or your wife, the mother of your kids, enjoys having a beer or two on occasion, why not give her the chance to tap the kegerator and enjoy some delicious, fresh tasting beer on this special day? Her enjoyment of the kegerator, which has long been your coveted home appliance, can be one enjoyed in solitude or with a crowd, depending on her desires.

If your wife or mom can use some uninterrupted time, along with a drink to unwind without the kids around to bother her, then give mom the gift of relaxation by taking the kids out for the evening so she can enjoy some solitude in the comfort of her own home. A little “alone time” and a trip or two to the kegerator may be all she needs to rejuvenate herself and to get her ready to dive back into motherhood once you and your brood arrive back at home.

If, however, your mom or your wife prefers a more social celebration on Mother’s Day, why not gather the family for a nice family meal? While many opt to take mom out to a restaurant so that she doesn’t have to cook, you know how crowded restaurants can get on this, one of the busiest days of the year in the restaurant business. So, instead, why not invite the rest of the extended family over to your house? Order in some food, or better yet wow mom with the culinary skills of the men in the family (just be sure to clean up to so mom can relax!), and then spend the afternoon or evening sitting around the kegerator, having a few drinks and a few laughs, and letting mom know just how special she really is.

Now, while you may think that suggesting a drink from your coveted kegerator is an extra special gift, just be sure that your mom or wife can appreciate your kegerator as much as you do. If you know that you mom hates the fact that you own a kegerator, then it’s probably best not to draw too much attention to it on this day. If your wife prefers wine to a draft beer dispensed from a kegerator, then by all means break open a bottle of wine, and save the kegerator tapping for a day set aside to honor the men in your family, such as Father’s Day. Letting mom tap the kegerator, either alone or as part of a big, noisy family gathering, can be a great way for her to enjoy the day, as long as you know that the suggestion will be met with a positive reaction. After all, Mother’s Day should be all about making mom happy!

Is A Mini Kegerator An Appropriate Gift For Administrative Professionals Day?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓
Gift For Administrative Professionals Day

Formally known as Secretary’s Day, Administrative Professionals Day falls on a Wednesday during the last full week in April each year. It is not a legal holiday, or even a federal holiday, but has become an unofficial holiday that is recognized by corporations and businesses, both large and small, as a day to show appreciation for support staff. Administrative professionals generally include administrative assistants, secretaries, and receptionists, but can also be expanded to include anyone in an office that offers a supportive role and that deserves to be recognized for their efforts once a year.

Administrative Professionals Day is often marked by giving gifts to your assistant or support staff as a show of your appreciation for all they do for you all year long. While these gifts often tend to be in the form of flowers, candy, gift certificates to restaurants and spas, or even an extra day off, many business professionals try to find a gift that is more unique and looks like some thought was put into personalizing the gift.

So, with that being said, is a mini kegerator an appropriate gift for the administrative professional in your life? That depends. If you know that the gift recipient enjoys a glass of beer once in awhile, then it can be a great gift. A mini kegerator not only dispenses just any old beer, but good beer. Just like when you go to the bar and opt for the draft beer because it tastes so much better than the selections in a bottle, a mini kegerator provides that great draft beer taste right in the comfort of your own home.

One nice thing about giving a mini kegerator as a gift is that it may be the type of gift that your assistant may not buy themselves. It is a touch on the pricey side when it comes to novelty gadgets, so a mini kegerator can be an indulgence for someone on a modest salary. Therefore, you may be surprised by how excited your assistant is to have their very own mini draft beer dispenser!

Another reason that a mini kegerator can be very appropriate as a gift on Administrative Professionals Day is that it is a gift for your assistant or secretary that allows them to relax and unwind. Very often, business professionals look for gifts like that to give on this holiday, since their assistants work so hard all year long. That is why gifts like spa gift certificates, restaurant gift certificates and extra time off are so often given, as well as coveted. A gift of a mini kegerator can have the same effect on someone that enjoys unwinding at the end of a day with a nice cool drink.

Mini kegerators are also attractive to look at and are a great addition to home bars, game rooms and even gourmet kitchens. A mini kegerator is also a great idea for those that love to entertain outside, whether by the pool or in the backyard – and for those that like to party on the go, such as by tailgating at sporting events or concerts or going camping. So, if you know that your support staff person is someone that loves to entertain, and they are not a teetotaler, then a gift of a mini kegerator can be a unique gift that shows that you appreciate the hard work they do for you all year long.
