So whether you’re a home brewer, or simply want to add a bit of fun—and a perfectly poured beer—to your evenings, there are some brilliant options to choose from.
Here are the best home beer dispensers available today.
Q: Are Beer Dispensers Worth It?
Not only can you impress your friends by providing IPAs and craft lager on tap, but you might also just improve the flavor compared to drinking out the can.
It uses low-cost food-grade CO2 cartridges to keep beverages carbonated and comes equipped with two of these to get you started. The carbonation cap can be adjusted from an off position all the way up to 15 psi, depending on what you’re keeping inside. And a pressure gauge lets you keep tabs on pressure levels inside the growler to ensure the integrity of your beer is adequately preserved.
Keep your growler in the fridge for weeks at a time and enjoy a crisp, cold beer whenever you wish, or take it with you and enjoy delicious cold beer for up to six hours. Easy to assemble and use pretty much straight away, with a lockable tap for easy no-spill transportation; this 64-ounce beer dispenser keg is the perfect remedy for warm, flat beer on the go.
This Fizzics beer dispenser is very versatile and will work all cans and bottles up to 750ml in size; whether they’re lagers, beers, stouts, IPAs, porters, sours, and so on. Its DraftPour design enhances all three stages of pouring a beer with the perfect head: from nucleation to beading and then maturation.
Running on a USB charging cable or two AA batteries, this home beer dispenser offers a 25% faster pour than previous Fizzics models, which is good news for thirsty mouths! A great choice of draft beer dispenser for any budding cicerone that can be used inside or outside for the perfect head every time.
A pro-pour tap gives you plenty of control while you’re pouring, letting you hone your bartending skills to the delight of your guests. Beverages are kept cold with the aid of the Hammer & Axe ice rod, which needs to be put in the freezer beforehand. Once frozen, it’s easy to install inside the beer tower and it will keep things nice and frosty.
A sturdy weighted base keeps this tower standing proud and stops it from falling over and spoiling the fun. It can be easily detached for cleaning purposes, or for refills! A great budget beer tower choice to keep that amber nectar perfectly chilled for a perfect night in.
It works with 16-gram CO2 cartridges and each cartridge will pump around 128 ounces of beer before it depletes. Unfortunately, these are sold separately but are easy enough to get hold of. It’s compact enough to be stored in a refrigerator and is made from scratch-resistant powder-coated stainless steel to protect it against damage.
Easy to assemble and easy to clean, the NutriChef is a good choice of growler beer dispenser for anyone looking for a slightly less costly option. Great for keeping beer fresh at home, and safe and portable to take with you. Your own personal keg for bar-quality beers every time.
There are no expensive CO2 cartridges needed here, just two standard AA batteries. It’s simple to use too, just insert your can or bottle and pull the tap forward to begin pouring. Push back the tap when it’s time to top your beer. Detachable freezer packs are placed inside the unit prior to pouring to ensure temperatures stay as Arctic as possible, and the whole thing can be easily disassembled for hand cleaning.
A great addition to any home bar, this Green House beer dispenser is a surefire way to inject an extra bit of fun into the proceedings. Every great beer deserves to be served ice cold with a foaming head, and this handy home unit happily delivers on both fronts.
Like some other growler models, this one works on screw-fixed 16g CO2 cartridges, which are not included in the kit. However, once installed, these will keep the interior of the keg pressurized, and will help the beer stay carbonated for longer. A pressure regulator on top keeps CO2 out of the growler and keeps the contents nice and fresh.
Made from stainless steel, you can rest assured there’s nothing here to adversely affect the flavor of your beverages. And an insulated keg cooler jacket means your beer is as cold as ice at room temperature for a three-hour stretch. A solid choice of beer dispenser keg for home use, at a reasonable price.
Each tower has a removable ice tube that needs to be frozen before pouring in the beer (or juice, for that matter). And each is equipped with a steady-flow tap that can help you fool your guests into thinking you have the bartending skills of a trained professional. For an extra bit of fun, each beer dispensing tower has built-in multi-colored LED lights, to add a bit of pizzazz to the evening.
Each tower has a wide, non-slip base, which is good news as accidents can happen, right? And you will need six AAA batteries to run both towers. This may seem a little simplistic in design compared to other beer dispensing towers, but depending on what you’re looking for, this could be the ideal choice for your dinner table.
A beer dispenser is basically like having a mini keg of beer, like you’d get in barrels at the pub, on draught in the comfort of your own home.
Q: Do Home Brew Kegs Need to Be Refrigerated?
Yes. The majority of the time, the beer inside your keg has not been pasteurized, so it’s important to keep it cold.
Q: What Is the Largest Amount of Beer Consumed in One Sitting?
You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period, Andre drank 119 of them.
