Beer Fridge Buyer's Guide

Best Beer Fridge for a Countertop

Frigidaire 6-Can Mini Retro Beverage

In the same realm as Smeg in terms of retro look, this Frigidaire mini fridge is built for a countertop. It holds six cans, perfect for a quick six-pack chill when space is at a premium in the main refrigerator. It can also be powered by a 12-volt cigarette lighter in the car for those long road trips that need an extra supply (for those not driving, of course).

Best Beer Fridge for a Kegerator

Edgestar KC2000TWIN

Rather than simply buying an extra fridge for cans and bottles, a true beer fan might prefer to have their favorite brewery’s flagship, or their own homebrew, on tap at all times. The great news for that is kegerators are easily found nowadays. With a large portfolio of options, a great option is EdgeStar. Make the move for the Edgestar KC2000TWIN, a dual tap kegerator that can fit a full-size keg.

Best Walk-in Beer Fridge

US Coolers The Brew Cave

For beverage fans with just a little bit too much time on their hands and money to spend, The Brew Cave needs plenty of room. This walk-in, standalone fridge option is perfect for regular entertainers because it holds more than 30 cases of beer and multiple kegs — it has a tap handle on the outside! The Brew Cave is made by US Coolers, a company that mostly makes coolers for commercial use, so this home cave is the highest-caliber beer fridge one could get for home usage.

There are myriad beer fridge options for devoted beer fans, some of which even resemble famous guitar amplifiers, as you can see here:

Just remember, while a chilled home is certainly important for your beers, it's the beers themselvses that are the star of the show.
