For beer lovers, few things compare to a crisp, cold pint on draught. While this was once limited to bars or breweries, modern at-home beer dispensers have brought the taproom to the kitchen. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a dedicated craft beer connoisseur, these gadgets offer a convenient and satisfying way to enjoy your favourite brews at home, perfectly chilled and with just the right amount of foam.
Great for entertaining, many at-home beer dispensers are compatible with mini-kegs, while others are designed for specific branded canisters or even standard beer cans.
With varying sizes, features, and levels of sophistication, some are mains-operated, while others are rechargeable and battery or USB-powered. Some can even help you pour a perfect pint of homemade beer.
There’s no denying that many of these machines are pricey, but that’s why we’ve made it our mission to find a dispenser for every kind of beer drinker and budget. Here, we’ve rounded up our favourites to help you get that perfect at-home pint every single time.
How we tested home beer dispensers
Over many months, we tested a selection of the best home beer dispensers across price ranges and different types. Using our knowledge and expertise, we analysed whether a true beer lover would be satisfied – and whether each entry could stand the test of time. We also invited friends and family over to test out each machine, examining whether it was a hot topic of conversation, and – of course – worth the money.
