Perfectly chilled drinks on tap for backyard hangs, beach days, and camping trips. No electricity, no cleanup, only good vibes.
For beer enthusiasts, party hosts, and outdoor adventurers who crave the perfect draft pour wherever they go, the Kombi Cool Tap, featured on Kickstarter, introduces a revolutionary portable kegerator. This innovative system promises perfectly chilled beverages on tap for backyard hangs, beach days, camping trips, and tailgates, all without the need for electricity or complicated setup.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Kombi Cool Tap: Portable Kegerator for Draft Beer Anywhere by Kombi Beverage Systems
What It Is: A compact, non-electric portable kegerator designed to keep 5-gallon kegs of beer (or other beverages) chilled and on tap for days, allowing users to enjoy fresh, carbonated drinks anywhere.
Key Features
No Electricity Needed: The Kombi Cool Tap operates entirely off-grid. It relies on ice for chilling and CO2 pressure for dispensing, making it ideal for outdoor adventures where power outlets are unavailable.
Keeps Drinks Cold for Days: Designed with superior insulation, the Kombi Cool Tap can keep ice for up to 5 days, ensuring your draft beverages remain perfectly chilled for extended periods.
Supports Standard Kegs: It's compatible with standard 5-gallon sixtel or corny kegs of beer. You can also use a 2.5-gallon keg for pre-mixed cocktails, cold brew, kombucha, or other beverages.
Professional-Grade CO2 System: Includes a professional mini CO2 regulator. It works with 74-gram disposable cartridges or standard SodaStream exchangeable cartridges (CO2 canister not included). A 74g cartridge is typically sufficient for one 5-gallon keg, while a 410g refillable cylinder can last for roughly four kegs.
Easy Setup and Use: The system features a straightforward setup with standard kegerator components. Simply load your keg, connect the standard D-coupler, attach the CO2, add ice, and you're ready to pour.
Built-in Drink Table: The lid of the Kombi Cool Tap features a built-in drink table, providing a convenient surface for placing glasses or other items.
Durable and Portable Design: The Kombi Cool Tap is built for heavy use and designed for easy transport, allowing you to take draft beer to tailgates, beaches, boats, campsites, weddings, parties, or pop-ups. It weighs 33.5 pounds when empty.
Reduces Waste: Each 5.2-gallon keg eliminates the need for 52 cans or bottles, promoting sustainability and reducing waste from single-use containers.
Maintains Freshness: Beer stored under CO2 pressure in the Kombi Cool Tap can stay fresh for months, thanks to the sealed system that maintains carbonation and flavor.
Versatile Beverage Options: Beyond beer, the Kombi Cool Tap can dispense cold brew, kombucha, cocktails, mocktails, and more—anything liquid you want cold and on tap.

The Idea
Concept: To bring the premium experience of freshly poured draft beverages to any location, without the limitations of traditional, bulky, or electricity-dependent kegerators.
Inspiration: Kombi Beverage Systems recognized the desire for perfectly chilled draft beer beyond the confines of a home bar or commercial establishment. They aimed to create a robust, portable, and user-friendly system that simplifies the process of enjoying draft beverages outdoors, reducing waste, and enhancing social gatherings. The Kombi Cool Tap is designed to be the "holy grail" for those who love their brewskies in the Great Outdoors, making them the "MVP of every gathering."
