Economics of Draft Beer
Friday, April 24th, 2009 by MikeIn these uncertain financial times, you may want to consider the advantage of serving draft beer from home.
Kegworks sells a variety of keg fridge conversion kits that will allow you to serve fresh draft beer from a spare fridge in your home; Right now our popular C240 Kegerator Conversion Kit is only $159.95, and it includes an empty CO2 tank that you can get filled at a local welding supply place.
Let’s say your household drinks 2 cases of beer a week, with the cost of a case of beer at approximately 20 dollars.
The average cost of a half keg of the same beer is about 55 dollars. That works out to about 8 dollars per case for the same amount of beer out of the keg.
So your weekly savings would be about 24 dollars a week, so the conversion kit would pay for itself in about 7 weeks.
Not bad, considering the enjoyment factor of fresh draft beer versus bottles or cans.
Cheers!
