Fresh on Tap at Quayside Pub – A Kegerator Installation That Changes the Pour
Quayside Pub in the Port of St Francis Bay has always been known for its relaxed seaside vibe, great food, and ice-cold drinks after a day on the water. Now the experience has been taken up a notch with the installation of a brand-new kegerator system – bringing perfectly poured draught beer straight to the heart of this popular local spot.
Why a Kegerator?
With the pub getting busier each season, the team wanted a solution that would deliver faster service, consistent quality, and that unmistakable taste only draught beer can offer. Bottles and cans have their place, but nothing beats a fresh pint with a creamy head and the ideal temperature from first pour to last.
The kegerator installation allows Quayside Pub to:
-
Serve beer at the optimal temperature all year round
-
Reduce waste from bottles and packaging
-
Offer customers a wider selection on tap
-
Speed up service during peak times
-
Maintain consistent flavour and carbonation
The Installation Process
The project began with assessing the pub’s bar layout and available space. Because Quayside has a unique coastal setting, durability and energy efficiency were key considerations. The unit was positioned to allow easy access for staff while blending seamlessly with the pub’s rustic, nautical aesthetic.
Professional technicians handled everything from gas line setup to tap calibration, ensuring the pressure and temperature were perfectly balanced. The result? A smooth, crisp pour every time – exactly what locals and holidaymakers expect when they walk in after a day at the beach.
A Win for Customers and the Coast
Beyond better beer, the kegerator brings environmental benefits too. Fewer bottles mean less glass waste, and reusable kegs reduce the pub’s overall footprint – an important step for a business located in one of South Africa’s most beautiful coastal villages.
Regulars have already noticed the difference. Whether it’s an ice-cold lager with fish and chips or a craft brew while watching the sunset over the harbour, the new system has added to the laid-back Quayside experience.
What’s on Tap?
The pub plans to rotate a selection of favourite local and international brews, with seasonal guest taps to keep things interesting. It’s all about offering choice while celebrating the social tradition of sharing a great pint in a great location.
