Kegerators for Offices: Built-In Beer Taps vs Mobile Kegerator Systems

More and more companies are installing beer taps in the office as part of modern workplace design. Whether it’s for Friday socials, client events, or simply creating a more relaxed company culture, an office kegerator system provides a professional way to serve draught beer on site.

At Rent a Keg, we specialise in bespoke office beer tap installations, working with office management companies, workplace designers, and corporate clients across the UK. Every system we install is designed specifically for office environments, prioritising reliability, safety, and ease of use.

If you’re considering installing beer taps in your workplace, there are two main options.

Built-In Beer Tap Systems for Office Kitchens

For many companies, the most popular option is a built-in draught system integrated into office kitchen cabinetry.

Our in-house design allows the system to fit neatly into standard cupboards, creating a clean and professional finish that blends seamlessly into the workspace.

As a general guide, if you're using standard 600mm kitchen cupboards, you will typically need:

• One cupboard for the cooling unit
• One additional cupboard for each keg

The cooler cupboard requires ventilation, which we install using a discreet grill that can be colour matched to your kitchen design.

Tap positions are fully customisable depending on your layout, allowing the system to integrate perfectly into new or existing office kitchens.

For companies planning a new office fit-out, we can also design more compact setups using custom cabinetry to maximise space.

Mobile Kegerator Systems

If cupboard space is limited, a mobile kegerator can be the ideal solution.

A kegerator is essentially a dedicated beer fridge with taps mounted on top, typically fitted with castors so it can be moved easily within the office.

This makes it perfect for:

• Flexible office spaces
• Event areas or breakout zones
• Offices without kitchen installation space

With kegerators, kegs typically require 4–6 hours of cooling time between changes, which is why most clients choose a two-tap system to maintain continuous service.

Professional Pour Quality – Just Like the Pub

All of our systems use brewery-specific equipment, ensuring the quality of pour matches what you would expect from a well-maintained UK pub.

Our systems are also designed to keep kegs fresh for significantly longer than standard pub-style installations, thanks to our keg jacket cooling system, which simulates cellar conditions and maintains optimal serving temperature.
