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!

I have the Beertender and while in SoCal last month managed to snag a Newcastle Draughtkeg. (They don’t sell it in NorCal Yet).
The Beertender is the BEST way to enjoy this, it keeps the Beer at the right temperature, shows how much is left and you have beer on tap any time you want!
Having tried this compared to bottled and traditional draught “Broon” I have to say it’s the best way to enjoy Newcastle at home, you can even taste the slight sweetness in it which is completely lost in the Bottle variety…
Thanks Mark! I was hoping to hear a favorable review. I am looking forward to trying it myself! I am excited that with the Beertender you have your choice of 3 DraughtKegs: Heineken, Heineken Premium Light, and Newcastle Brown Ale, all imported by Heineken USA. I think the Broon is my favorite but it is nice to have choices!
“Really interesting article, thanks!”

This is great, I love Newcastle and being able to serve it with a BeerTender is fantastic. I’m looking forward to it’s availability moving to the northern part of the state.
It is a good beer Scott. Even better from the DraughtKeg. Almost like being in a pub! Plus I really like the fact that it sits right in the door of my refrigerator.
