Clue explained
A kegerator is a refrigerator fitted to keep a keg cold and dispense its beer through a tap. The name blends “keg” and “refrigerator,” and home brewers use one to serve beer without bottling every batch. A basic setup connects the keg to a tap with a line, so the beer pours chilled and ready to drink.
