Kombucha in Kegs
The following information is available for only the following areas:
Dallas to Austin to San Antonio
We cannot Ship Kegs.
If you reside in those areas we are excited to announce our refreshed keg program effective Jan 2nd 2018!
If you are a retailer please click here or email orders@buddhasbrew.com for more info - this site is for direct keg sales and keg rentals.
Our 1/2-Gallon Glass Jugs go by such names as Growlers. They are a perfect way for multiple servings for when you don't need a keg but need more than 16 oz.
Our 5-Gallon Ball Lock Kegs go by such names as Homebrew, Soda (Pepsi) and Cornelius Kegs. They are a cost effective and environmentally-friendly way to serve Kombucha. With kegs there is a bit of set up involved so visit here for all the info you need.
There are three potential set-ups:
1 - a no-frills approach with keg in ice bucket or mini-fridge with a picnic spout
2 - a stand-alone kegerator set up for corney kegs
3 - the tap set-up for a location with a tap system in place.

Make sure the Kegerator you purchase supports 5-gallon Cornelius/Soda/Homebrew kegs!!
Another option (cheaper) is to buy a mini fridge and take out the shelves so the keg can be placed inside and then connect a picnic spigot and co2 tank to the 2 connectors.
