And while the rental division at Beer Tech is, as Ken explained, more of a charity than anything else, it’s getting the name out there through a cli- entele that wouldn’t otherwise be interacting with draught systems technology. “If you’re going to a cottage or camping or fishing, that kind of thing and you want to dispense some draft we offer units called Jockey Boxes for rental. A Jockey Box is essentially a cooler with a 120-foot cooling coil inside of it. You fill it with water and ice and get the coil nice and cold and then when the draft is dispensed from the keg it travels through the stainless steel coil and cools it and it comes out cold. You don’t need any power, any electricity, for the Jockey Box so you can dispense anywhere you want. If you have enough people and the beer is going to be consumed, it’s a lot easier to carry your beer in a Jockey Box rather than hauling around cans or bottles. It’s also a lot more environmen- tally friendly because this way you’re not leaving a bunch of trash behind. It’s also just neat to be able to dispense beer at a get-together or on a fishing trip. It definitely has its advantages.” “We also have Kegerators, which are single-door keg fridges,” he continued. “We rent those out
for weddings, stag parties, bachelor parties, and beer events because some of the smaller brewer- ies don’t have mobile units. Most of the time it’s breweries and restaurants who are heading to a beer or wine show and they need a unit and more often than not we end up just loaning it to them.” For more information about BeerTech’s draught system technologies, including eco-friendly water systems, visit beertech.ca.
