We also carry a number of Craft Beer 1/6, 1/4 and 1/2 kegs in stock.  The selection of these Craft Beers varies from week to week.  An updated list can be found by going to the “Kegs” section of our website, followed by a selection of a store and then scrolling down to the “On Deck” section.

We suggest calling your store of preference for a selection.  If we do not have your keg in stock, we recommend 7-14 business days notice for us to special order a keg for you.

How much beer do I need for my part?

Use our Party Calculator to determine the amount of beer you may need, give or take a few.

What type of tap does my keg need?

Micromatic has a great section on their website for determining the type of tap needed for different styles of beer.

What is a Cold Plate System - and why would I need it?

A cold plate system is a cooler that contains a stainless steel plate with a very small stainless steel line running throughout. The beer travels through this line and cools very rapidly.  You must still surround your keg with ice to keep it cool.  The colder the keg the better the beer will pour.  The stainless steel plate must also be covered with ice.

 

A cold plate system allows you to draw beer from a faucet, similar to those at a bar.  Cold plate systems are typically used at larger gatherings like a New Year’s Party or Wedding.

There is a $300 deposit on the cold plate, a $200 deposit on the CO2 tank, and a $10 3 day rental fee.  Single faucet and dual faucet cold plate systems are available.

Do you deliver?

We deliver to weddings and other events depending on location and date.  The minimum order is $500 for a non-Thursday and/or non-Saratoga Springs delivery.  The delivery fee is calculated based on the location.
