Have you ever wondered if there’s a logical connection between religious celebrations and kegerators? Probably not, but in fact, there are many religious celebrations where having a kegerator on hand can add to the festivities. You see, when a bunch of people get together to celebrate a major event, such as a religious celebration, there is often alcoholic beverages, or at least beer and wine present. And if there’s beer, what better way to dispense it than from a keg, housed in an attractive looking kegerator that does the job of keeping it cold and keeping the keg out of sight?

Some religious celebrations that you may find kegerators at include bar and bat mitzvahs, christenings, baptisms, holy communions and such. It is not the religious part of the celebration that warrants the use of a kegerator, but the fact that most of these religious events are accompanied by large gatherings of family and friends to celebrate the religious milestones. So, if you are throwing a party with adults in attendance for any type of special event, having a kegerator on hand to dispense the beer can be a highlight of the party.

For some, planning a celebration tied to a religious event includes selecting a professional catering venue to hold and coordinate the event. This means that your religious celebration may take place in a catering hall, restaurant, club or hotel ballroom. Often when an event is held at a formal catering facility, the facility takes care of all food and beverages served at the event, and also supplies servers and bartenders. If this is the case and beer is being served, chances are that behind the bar sits a commercial kegerator, which houses one or more kegs of beer that will then be dispensed to guests on request.

Commercial kegerators are the types seen behind bars at restaurants and pubs (actually, they’re usually not seen because they’re under the counter and out of sight, but you know that they’re there). These types of kegerators can have one or two taps or more and can allow the dining establishment to offer multiple types of draught beer on tap to its patrons.

If you are coordinating the planning of the festivities for your own religious celebration and it will not be occurring at a restaurant or formal catering facility, you may have to arrange to have your own tables and chairs on hand and to set up an area for food and beverages. You can rent the items you need from a party rental company, complete with the long tables required to set up a buffet of food (along with the sterno and serving dishes) and a bar (along with a kegerator full of beer). You can hire your own servers and bartenders, or sometimes the rental company can even provide them for you so you can save yourself the extra step of having to hire wait staff separately.

However you choose to celebrate a religious milestone with your family and friends, you will find that having a keg dispenser can be a handy accompaniment to your celebration. You might never have thought before about the connection between religious celebrations and kegerators – and you might never again – but when it comes to planning a party or celebration, you will quickly see the benefits of having a beer dispenser on hand, if you choose to serve alcoholic beverages at the event.
