How to Serve a Mini Keg

Serving a mini keg is usually simple, but a few basic tips can help you get the best pour.

First, chill the mini keg properly before opening. Warm beer will foam more, and nobody wants half a glass of froth unless they’ve specifically ordered a cloud. Once chilled, follow the instructions on the keg, open the vent if required, and pour slowly with the glass angled.

Mini keg serving tips:

• Chill before serving
• Keep the keg upright
• Follow the instructions on the keg
• Open the vent if required
• Pour slowly
• Tilt the glass to reduce foam
• Keep refrigerated once opened
• Check product guidance for freshness after opening

Different mini kegs can have slightly different serving instructions, so always check the individual product details before opening.
