The dream of efficiently delivering cold beer for an outside event has been a driving force behind human innovation for many years. Few now remember that the atom bomb, the space shuttle and the iPod were all spin-offs from technologies that were originally developed to keep beer cold in yeast-unfriendly environments.

There are crude solutions that we can live with, if you can even call that living. A cooler full of ice and bottles is quick and easy, but buying beer by the bottle is an expensive proposition, glass is breakable and the labels inevitably slide off leaving you with a frustrating game of Brewer's roulette.

The Keg sitting in galvanized metal tub of ice is more economical per pint, but goes through ice like nobody's business and never really gets the temperature right.

My friends, the time has come to put aside the childish make-do solutions of yesteryear and to embrace the Kalamazoo outdoor keg tapper, available from those northwestern wizards of e-commerce, Amazon.com.

Using the awesome power of electricity, this device can keep an entire keg of beer at perfect serving temperature for the whole of your event. You might even be inspired to throw away those stupid plastic cups.
