TURBOCHILL

THE EVOLUTION OF COLD BEER TURBOCHILL

Been to a tailgate party where somebody hands you a room temperature beer and it takes everything in you not to say “No thanks!” Bags and bags of ice, constant pumping, way too much foam, warm beer; this has all gone the way of the dinosaur. TurboChill is the Evolution of Cold Beer. Imagine going to the beer distributor, buying a couple kegs for your tailgate party, throwing them in your truck and sitting back before the start of your party. No ice bath, no worrying about keeping it cold. Sounds good right? TurboChill takes the annoying parts of having draft beer and throws them right out the window. With these simple ingredients: any size keg, one large bag of ice, a small CO2 container and the TurboChill, you have just cooked up ice cold 35 degree draft beer for the entire day of tailgating – no electricity required. Now here is the bonus: It – Is – Fast! 2-3 seconds for a pint of beer with a perfect head of foam. You didn’t misread that, 2-3 seconds for each pint at 35 degrees, the ideal temperature for your best draft beer.

The secret behind this perfect pour is a two-part answer. First, the beer is flash-chilled through the 35 lb. cast aluminum chilling unit bringing the temperature down to the perfect 35 degrees. Second is the Turbo Tap. One of Time Magazine’s Most Amazing Inventions of 2005 the Turbo Tap (Turbo Tap.com) can be found in America’s biggest bar, Wrigley Field, and countless professional sports stadiums as well as bars and night clubs around the country. Turbo Tap also gives you an astonishing 99-100% yield out of your kegs. The typical keg yield is around 70-80% and that means that without using TurboChill you are wasting up to 30% of your beer. Not to mention the added bonuses of not having to lug case after case of beer all the way to your event AND if you pair TurboChill up with bio-degradable cups, you are helping the environment! Not too many times have you been able to say, “Hey, have a beer and help the environment”.

So let’s review, saving money on bags and bags of ice – CHECK, saving time and energy in not having to haul case after case of beer out – CHECK, getting 99-100% out of your keg – CHECK, no bottles or cans from your event sitting in a landfill – CHECK, perfectly cold 35 degree beer poured in 2- 3 seconds with the perfect head – CHECK!
