Newcastle DraughtKeg: A Smart Choice

Newcastle DraughtKeg

Back in 1928, in Northeast England, if you heard a man say he was “Going to see a man about a dog,” you could be fairly certain he was off to the pub to have a pint of Newcastle Brown Ale. Known by Newcastle locals as “Dog” or “Broon,” Newcastle Brown Ale is America’s No. 1 imported ale. Now with the Newcastle DraughtKeg, you don’t have to leave your own kitchen to enjoy the deep bodied, crisp taste of this fine draught ale.

If you are a stranger to Newcastle Brown Ale or if you aren’t a fan of darker beers, you should really give this ale a try. I thoroughly enjoy the refreshing taste with no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. You will be pleasantly surprised by the unique flavor. With just a hint of sweetness, Newcastle Brown Ale offers a smooth drinking experience and it goes perfect with your favorite pub fare.

The Newcastle DraughtKeg brings home the pub experience by dispensing a cool draught beer. Easy to follow directions allow you to tap the recyclable steel keg in just two easy steps. It’s small enough to carry to a neighborhood party or over to a friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Holding five liters of ale, the DraughtKeg is just the right size for a small group gathering or the perfect size for one. Of course, I am not going to drink five liters of ale in one sitting, but with DraughtKeg’s patented technology, I don’t have to. Once tapped, the DraughtKeg keeps beer fresh for up to thirty days, giving me a cool draught beer anytime I want one.

The Newcastle DraughtKeg fits nicely on the shelf inside the door of my refrigerator and I don’t have to remove it until it’s empty. I just open the door, place my glass under the spout, and pour. After pouring, I make sure to give the dispensing spout a couple taps with the glass to catch any ale remaining in the spout. I also keep a folded paper towel under the spout to catch drips and avoid a sticky mess on the shelf. I have heard if you pair the DraughtKeg with the Beertender by Krups, you no longer have to store the DraughtKeg in the refrigerator. Although I have not tested the Beertender myself, I would be interested in hearing from my readers who have tried it. The thought of enjoying a cool draught beer right from my kitchen countertop is intriguing!

Overall, the pairing of Newcastle Brown Ale and the DraughtKeg is a smart choice. It allows you to enjoy a superb draught ale while drinking responsibly from the comfort of your own home. Off to the kitchen to see a man about a dog!
