You know that Queen/David Bowie song “Under Pressure”? Well, basically, that’s the anthem for your keg. Without pressure (or, more aptly, the right amount of pressure), you can kiss your dreams of draft beer dispensing goodbye.

Too much pressure and you’ll spurt a river of foam from your faucet. Too little and you’ll be met with a weak trickle of foam and flat, dull beer. Sounds tough, right?

Luckily, we live in a world that features the dependable performance of draft beer regulators. A regulator is an essential piece of your draft beer dispensing arsenal that helps manage the pressure so that you can pour pint after perfect pint.

The ins and outs of draft beer regulators are not exactly common knowledge, however. That’s why we created  this video all about ’em! So sit back, hit play, and learn everything you need to know about keeping cool under pressure. Enjoy!
