About Us
Welcome to PumpKeg where nostalgia meets innovation in the most simple way possible!
After spending two decades swirling, sipping, & speaking poetic about tannins in the wine industry, I decided it was time for a change. I ventured into the world of liquor. It was here, amidst a sea of spirits & cocktails, that inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning (or maybe it was just a really strong margarita). My new world consisted of non-stop batching fresh margaritas for outdoor festivals & distributor meetings; where fast, consistent (& delicious) spicy margs were in high demand. I was introduced to a BEER growler keg that used a complicated C02 tap adapter to force out the NON-carbonated cocktail. It was great; until it wasn't. While wine was simple to pour at these same type of events, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing —
I noticed an obvious need for a new type of cocktail container that didn’t rely on CO2. Everyone used glass jars & threw away their leftovers. I needed something better; something different but I didn't have the need for complicated setups nor C02 cartridges weren’t reusable (plus I wasn't batching sparkling margaritas (even though that sounded amazing)).
And just like that, the Pump Keg was born. Inspired by my college days, I integrated the classic pump propulsion system. Remember those epic parties with keg stands that required a bit of elbow grease? Yep, that’s the magic we’ve captured, but with a modern twist. Pump Keg never needs C02 but even better, if you have a leftover keg of cocktails, all you need to do is remove the tap, there is no pesky lid you need to seek to re-seal your keg (you probably lost it anyway). The Pump Keg is also a self-sealing device & Oxygen never gets in until you tap out or choose to empty. Finally, the inside isn't a mildew-prone plastic tube; the inside of Pump Keg is a stainless steel spear. So much more sanitary & everything is easy to clean. Re-tap, drink, enjoy; even weeks later. Your contents will stay drinkably fresh for well over 1 month (scientifically tested)!
So here we are, offering you a way to enjoy your favorite batched beverages with a dash of nostalgia, a splash of innovation, & zero CO2. Because life’s too short to drink boringly—and who doesn’t love a good throwback?
Cheers to pumping up the party, one keg at a time!
