ZIPPS’ KEG ORDERING FAQS
To ensure that your reservation is processed and filled correctly, please call with any same-day or next-day requests. We do not except online orders.
Don’t see what you’re after? Submit any special orders at least 5-7 business days in advance and we can look into it!
If you wish to reserve a keg for either Friday or Saturday. You can call the store at any time, and we will take your reservation.
We absolutely do! Pretty much any size, shape and style you might need, we can procure on your behalf! We charge a small fee, as well as a deposit on any equipment that you might need.
For each keg, there is a $30 deposit (Blackstack, Surly & Urban Growler are $50), For each tap you need there is a $55 deposit, and for each tub there is a $25 deposit.
Unfortunately, we do not! We do swap CO2 canisters, but we do not sell or rent them out, nor the equipment to attach them to your keg. We do sell kegerators, if you ever get the itch!
Unfortunately, we cannot refund the purchase price on full kegs. We can hold on to your keg if you would like to use it in the next 4 weeks, but that is the extent of what we can do.
We cannot take payment for kegs over the phone, and also require registration for kegs at time of purchase. This registration must be done in person with a valid ID (per MN regulations).
GENERAL KEG FAQS
It will keep for a few days if kept cold, but it progressively changes in taste with each day it’s exposed to air. Tapping your keg with a party pump is like opening a 2-liter bottle of soda — it puts air into the container. CO2 then escapes the liquid and dissipates into the air, making the beer flat.
Best thing to do is to untap the keg and keep the beer on ice! Cold beer will hang on to its CO2 longer. Do not pump more air into it — that’ll just oxidize the beer faster.
A full keg weighs about 170 pounds, so be careful moving it! We are happy to help you load it into your car, but once you get it home you are on your own.
