Our verdict

A commercial style kegerator for a small bar, tasting room or serious home setup that wants beer cold all the way to the faucet. The direct draw kit is sold separately, so it cannot pour out of the box.

Overview

A small bar, tasting room or backyard patio can run this Kegco kegerator as a single tap station that rolls into place on locking casters. A compressor chills the steel interior, and a fan pushes cold air up into the draft tower so beer stays cold to the faucet.

Tower cooling earns it attention, with forced air meant to hold beer cold right up to the faucet. Sanitation listings make it usable in a business setting. It ships without the direct draw kit, and keg compatibility is not stated, so plan to source the tapping parts and confirm the keg fits.

Who it's for

Restaurants, tasting rooms and well equipped home bars that move the unit between spaces benefit from the casters and sanitation listings. Buyers who expect to tap a keg the day it arrives without extra parts should wait until the direct draw kit is sourced.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fan-forced air cools the tower
  • Locking casters ease moving
  • Steel interior is easy to clean
  • Built-in drip tray
Cons
  • Direct draw kit sold separately
  • Keg size compatibility not listed
  • Only one tap
  • Door hinged on the right

Performance notes

Draft temperature at the glass depends on the tower as much as the cabinet, and here a fan forces chilled air from the cabinet up the air-cooled tower. The compressor sets how quickly a warm keg comes down to serving temperature, while the steel interior and drip tray govern cleanup after service.
