Cooler Keg Expands Across the Pond: U.S. Beverage Innovation Brand Officially Launches in the UK
Patented, electricity-free portable kegerator brings beer, cocktails, wine and more on tap to UK consumers and businesses
July 27, 2026 - Cooler Keg, the U.S.-based beverage innovation company behind the patented, electricity-free portable kegerator, is officially expanding into the United Kingdom. Following its international launch in Australia, Cooler Keg is bringing its unique approach to serving beverages on tap to UK consumers and businesses, with the product expected to arrive in the UK in late fall.
UK customers can now pre-order Cooler Keg through the company’s dedicated UK website, with units priced at £895.00 and inventory expected to be available for shipping once the first UK shipment arrives.
Unlike traditional kegerators that require electricity or permanent installation, Cooler Keg is designed to take the draft experience wherever the gathering happens. Its patented system uses CO₂ to dispense beverages without electricity, allowing users to serve beer, cocktails, wine, soda, cider and more—cold or hot, still or carbonated—anywhere on tap.
“From the beginning, we knew Cooler Keg had the potential to be much bigger than the U.S. market,” said Anthony Bernas, Co-Founder of Cooler Keg. “We created it to give people a completely different way to entertain and serve beverages, and seeing that idea resonate internationally has been incredibly exciting. After launching in Australia, the UK was a natural next step.”
The UK launch opens Cooler Keg to a wide range of outdoor and entertaining occasions, from garden parties, BBQs, camping and glamping to weddings, celebrations and outdoor events. For businesses, the portable draft system offers a new way to serve beverages for hospitality, restaurants, hotels, caterers, mobile bars and event professionals without relying on traditional fixed draft systems or electrical hookups.
“Cooler Keg is unlike anything else we’ve seen in the UK market,” said Jon Ryan, Director of CK Distributors UK Ltd. “It combines the convenience of a cooler with the experience of having drinks on tap, without being tied to electricity or a permanent setup. We’re excited to introduce it to UK customers and see where they take it.”
Cooler Keg’s utility patent has been granted in the United States, with a European patent application pending.
“Cooler Keg was built around a simple idea: why should having a drink on tap require a power outlet, a permanent installation or a trip to the bar?” Racine Gruberman, Co-Founder of Cooler Keg. “We’re taking something people already love and making it possible almost anywhere.”
The Cooler Keg is now available for pre-order in the UK at £895.00, with product expected to arrive in late fall.
