A portable kegerator is a compact draft system that keeps beverages cold and serves them on tap—without electricity or bulky gas tanks. Think of it as a mobile bar in a box. The ColdOne™ combines an insulated shell, a 2-gallon keg, a built-in CO₂ system, and a stainless steel tap into one easy-to-carry unit. It’s small enough to take camping, tailgating, or to the beach, yet professional enough for commercial service.

In this guide, we’ll cover what a portable kegerator is, how it works, the benefits, and why the ColdOne™ has quickly become a favorite for bars, mobile bartenders, and party hosts.

Meet the ColdOne™

The ColdOne™ Portable Kegerator is available in 1-tap and 2-tap (ColdOne™ X2) models.
