RETAILOBSERVER.COM JUNE 2023 28 Z ephyr, the company that has transformed the kitchen with design, discovery, and customer care, expands its collection of Wine & Beverage Coolers with the introduction of the Presrv™ Kegerator & Beverage Cooler. This versatile, industry- first hybrid Kegerator & Beverage Cooler features five distinct configurations with single, double, and triple tap options and easily converts to a beverage cooler when a keg is not installed. YOU'VE GOT OPTIONS: VERSATILE, FIVE-CONFIGURATION SYSTEM For the host who knows the on-tap beverage that's always a hit with the guests, the Kegerator supports one half-barrel keg with a single tap, two sixth-barrel kegs with a double tap, and up to three sixth-barrel kegs with a triple tap. What sets this cooler above the rest is the ability to convert the unit into a beverage cooler with adjustable glass shelves. While in the hybrid configuration, the Kegerator & Beverage Cooler can accommodate one- sixth or one slim quarter-barrel keg with a single tap and two adjustable glass shelves that store up to 53 cans of alternative beverages such as hard seltzers, soda, and sparkling water – all from the at-home bar. Kegerator options are hardly the last call on this hybrid party pleaser. The unit transforms into a Single Zone Beverage Cooler – sans tap or keg – with four glass shelves to chill up to 107 cans of soda, seltzers, water, or juice. "What truly makes the Kegerator & Beverage Cooler unique is its versatility," said Luke Siow, Zephyr president. "You can customize the unit to meet your needs – whether you're hosting a big party, a game night with friends, or simply having all of the family's favorite beverages on hand. And the Kegerator & Beverage Cooler features our signature superior craftsmanship, combining high-quality performance with attainable luxury." ELEVATED INDOOR & OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING The sleek, 24-inch stainless steel unit is available in two options: an indoor model with a glass display window and an outdoor/indoor model with a full stainless-steel exterior. The Presrv Kegerator & Beverage Cooler can function as a freestanding unit, or it can be installed under a countertop. Both units include an integrated door lock. Zephyr delivers another industry first with its patent-pending built-in installation kit, simplifying under-counter installation. Single, double, and triple tap kits are sold separately and include the tap tower, tap(s), CO2 tank, regulator(s), and D-style keg coupler(s). Optional accessories include a drink guardrail, casters, beverage cooler conversion kit, and a beer line cleaning kit. Additional features include: Three-color LED lighting settings (cloud white, deep blue, amber), an easy-to-clean stainless steel drip tray, and electronic capacitive touch controls. BOTTOM LINE: HOW'S THE BEER? The Presrv Kegerator features PreciseTemp™ with multiple internal sensors to maintain accurate temperatures, offering a range from a crisp 32 degrees – one of the coldest units on the market – to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The indoor model includes a display window with a three- layer, Low-e Argon-filled glass door that further maintains optimal chill, while Active Cooling Technology offers even cooling via on-board computer-controlled fans. The unit also features a Beer Line Cooling system that blows cool air onto the beer line for a lasting chill and a foam-reduced finish to bring out the fresh taste and distinct flavors. With all the guest-enticing fun, crisp cold beer, and quality craftsmanship to satisfy modern hosts and partygoers alike, the Presrv Kegerator & Beverage Cooler by Zephyr is the ultimate upgrade for the indoor or outdoor bar.
