Newcastle Brown Ale's New DraughtKeg
Beginning next month one of our favorite beers, Newcastle Brown Ale founded in 1927 in the Northeast of England, will launch its new portable DraughtKeg in select markets initially including Southern California, Minneapolis and Chicago. Featuring the same technology originally created by Heineken, the Newcastle DraughtKeg is a pressurized recyclable mini-keg that serves up to 10 pints (5 liters) of Newcastle draught beer for the ultimate at-home pub experience. The suggested retail price is $22.99.
The DraughtKeg's pressurized draught system utilizes a patented internal CO2 mechanism with a mini tap which helps keep the beer fresh for up to 30 days. It's also compatible with the Krups BeerTender, which chills the DraughtKeg and maintains its ideal temperature.
