Party in Style.

Take your next event to the next level of hospitality by reserving one of our unique draught beer trailers! Our trailers are great for company outings, fairs, carnivals, or any gathering requiring bulk dispensing of beer. Trailers are completely refrigerated to keep kegs cool and ensure draft beer is served at optimal temperatures for optimal refreshment. We deliver and pick up the vehicle at your site, as well as prepare it for dispensing. A temporary permit from the State Liquor Authority is required, please reference the NYSLA website for more information. There is a trailer usage fee predicated on the order quantity.

See below for additional information and other special equipment we offer.
