A keezer is a chest freezer converted to a fridge that keeps your beer cool as a kegerator would.

Often you can find kegerators for sale at Costco, sams club, and even Walmart. I have seen them on Amazon.com as well.

Draught and draft are the same and pronounced the same (draft). It means serving beer from a keg.

What is draft beer vs tap?

Draught beer is a beer stored into kegs and served straight from the tap. The tap can be pressurised or pumped by hand. There are several reasons why draught beer has superior quality than other types of beer. First, the keg blocks sunlight away, eliminating degradation from light.

When you buy a kegerator for your home, you’re not only able to conveniently store large amounts of cold draft beer, but you can also save approximately 40-60% in costs, compared to buying the same volume of beer in cans or bottles. The savings can be even greater for some brands of beers, as well as various keg sizes.

Is a keg cheaper than cans? Whether a keg is cheaper than cans depends on what brand of beer you purchase. The keg itself may be less expensive than buying individual cans –but you have to factor in the cost for cups.

The Old English dragan (“carry; pull”) developed into a series of related words including drag, draw, and draught. By the time Bramah’s beer pumps became popular, the use of the term draught to refer to the acts of serving or drinking beer was well established and transferred easily to beer served via the hand pumps.

Beer freshness has an immense impact on the brew’s flavour, which is why the beer poured from a keg is likely to be fresher (and tastier) than what you’d sip from the bottle. This is because hoppier beers degrade in flavour over time, so the fresher the beer – the better the taste.

Q: Is draft beer always better? A: Draft beer is definitely better than bottled, but canned can be better than draft. Draft beers usually move faster, and if you’re replacing kegs more often, that usually means fresher beer. So, in terms of quality and turnover, it’s draft, then cans, then bottles.

2. Drink Cheaper Beer. Draft beer at a bar is almost always cheaper than its bottled equivalent. And the consensus of beer experts seems to be that draft beer is theoretically better.
