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.

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.
