T-fal BeerTender is perfect for home entertainment and enjoying premium Heineken beer. Great for gift giving or have fun enjoying the ultimate at home draught beer experience yourself. Indicator lights up when beer has reached the ideal serving temperature. The DraughtKeg utilizes an internal carbonator pressure unit that releases Co2 each time the tap is opened. This innovative technology ensures beer remains fresh for us to 30 days. The BeerTender keeps the DraughtKeg chilled and allows for a crisp quality beer with the right head of foam and the right ‘bite’. The BeerTender works exclusively with Heineken and Heineken Premium Light DraughtKegs which are sold separately…. More >>

I am picky about the freshness of beer. I rarely drink beer unless it is out of a tap just because I don’t like taking the chance of getting an old beer. Even worse is canned beer. So the Beertender is the perfect solution for me. Heineken has a reputaion of being skunky, so I was concerned the first time I tried one of these minikegs. The beer is perfecly fresh and tastes every bit a good as a draft beer from the local pub. No Skunky flavor and Heineken is actually very good when fresh. The temperature is also very cold, much colder then a typical fridge.
Always remember to use a cold glass to get less foam. Otherwise this is a simple as it gets. Chill over night and enjoy! Only downside I can see is having to buy the non-reuseable beer line that sells for about $1.50 each when bought in bulk. NEWCASTLE is also now available in Draughtkegs!
I love this thing!

First off I will say that I have always wanted one of these but have always cringed at the price tag, now that the price tags have dropped on virtually all the Beertender models I feel this machine is a worthwhile investment. Besides the price drop another noteworthy update to this device is the fact that now other, non Heineken beers are available to be used with these machines, A VERY BIG PLUS. Go to any good beer store and you’ll see differing kegs around, they just need to be 5L or lower & pressurized. Here in MI there’s even a couple smaller breweries with mini kegs available (BELLS OBERON!). My next point is this, even with the price drop, stick with this unit. It does the same job as the more expensive Krupps models at a quarter the cost. Hey I admit the digital readout, clock and symbols on the Krupps models make the whole unit look more techy and futuristic but in the end they all cool to the same proper level and all dispense brew at its best. I’m not even a big Heineken fan, I always found it to be sort of skunky, but my bud had one of these and when I tried it I was hooked. There’s just no substitute for that true Draught taste. Also if you store your keg in the fridge before you drop it in your Beertender it’ll be at optimum temp in a couple hours, not overnight. It’s one of the greatest new at home bar devices. Many will swear allegiance to the “kegerator” with its added CO2, gauges and tubes but they’re just too big and bulky for me & my bar. This thing is perfect for me, drop in keg, attach tube and drink, SWEET! Don’t get lazy and not look for deals on these too, I found one locally new, at a chain store for $55, yeah that’s right, for that price you can’t go wrong.

I typically am not even a big Heineken fan, but my wife got this for me, and I figured what the heck. The 5L mini-kegs sell for seventeen bucks at my local grocery store, and you throw one in, let it cool overnight and you are good to go! It’s not cheaper than buying ‘regular’ beer cans/bottles but the novelty, convenience, COLDNESS and a great draft pour are why I usually keep a second (or third) mini-keg in a small refrigerator just in case a party breaks out. The only reason this is not a 5-star review is because you can only get Heineken & Heineken Light currently…I hear Newcastle Brown is in some test markets though, so hopefully that will change soon.
