Best Kegerators





In the world of toys for boys, or dolls for dames, there is an article of consumer cocaine that hits the right bell in our cerebral cortex. One all mighty product that makes us jump with glee, exhilaration and all manner of happy feelings in our nether regions.

No matter our line of job, our socio-economic stepping stone, no matter our preferences or our buying options, the second we see one is the very second we want one.

And what pray-tell is the coveted consumer good? The one, the only, the very pinnacle that tells everyone we’ve finally hit the top of the mountain and fulfilled out destiny on this planet… the KEGERATOR.

“The what?” You possibly go and ask.

Well, for those luddites not in the known, let’s etymology the hell out of that word. Let’s put our linguistics professor hat’s on and plug the stem of that unit of communication.

Keg: – noun. Origin, 1585; cag (Old Norse) A small cask or barrel, usually holding from 5 to 10 gallons. Also, in modern times, a pressurized metal barrel with a valve at one end, used to store and dispense beer.

Erator: Suffix of Refrigerator.

So that, boys and girls, now getting the gist of this sorority flashback inspired article, is what a Kegerator is… Basically the late Jim Belushi’s bestes bud  and quite possibly that one item of home appliance that might end up gifting you with more glee than your new HD television.
