10 Best At-Home Beer Taps UK 2023 | Krups, Philips and More

Ticking all the boxes in terms of features, value for money and countertop appeal, our top recommendation is the latest model of the PerfectDraft by Philips. It expertly balances size and practicality with its 6-litre capacity and sleek design, which also features a clear LED display with adjustable temperature and freshness counter.

PerfectDraft kegs are readily available too, with more than 40 classic and craft beers to sample including everything from Leffe, Stella and Tennets to those by smaller British breweries like Tiny Rebel. Simple to set up, operate and clean, it's the best way to enjoy beer at home!

As the demand for at-home beer taps rises, it's great to see more bundles like this one on offer. The Sub by Krups is highly rated as one of the best on the UK market, and is a fantastic smaller option that keeps 2 litres of beer chilled for up to 15 days. 

Once you've gotten through the four 'Torps' of Heineken that come included, re-ups are readily available online. Owing to the dispenser's popularity, there's a wider range than many, from fruit beers to lesser-known craft lagers and even good old Strongbow! 

Unlike other big-name dispenser systems, the BeerTender is compatible with top-connecting 5-litre kegs from a range of brands and breweries. You'll need to purchase a tube or hose to connect kegs to the dispenser, but these can be easily added to your order.  

If you're looking to invest in a premium product with a larger capacity, Blade's beer tap is as good as it gets. Attractively designed and able to keep 8-litre kegs fresh for 30 days, it's a must-have if your home bar is the new go-to venue in town.

You'll have to order Blade-specific kegs online, but there's a decent range as they're owned by Heineken, including IPAs, German blonde and wheat beers, and Apple Fox cider. Offering easy setup, user-friendliness and professional quality in one, this is a great tap if you've got the cash to spare. 

Berlin-based brand Klarstein always offer a fantastic quality-to-price ratio when it comes to their household products, and their beer dispenser doesn't disappoint! Using a quiet thermoelectric cooling system, you have the choice of 6 temperature settings, so you can chill to an ice-cold 2 degrees or enjoy darker beers at 12 if you prefer.

It also comes with a universal 5-litre keg fitting, including an adaptor for Heineken barrels, as well as adjustable CO2 pressure. The only thing that lets it down is that once tapped, kegs will only stay fresh for 7 days. 

With its three-month carbonation and freshness guarantee and 3.7-litre capacity (about 6 and a half pints), NutriChef's growler-style keg is ideal for smaller households or those who only drink beer occasionally. 

You'll have to keep it chilled in a fridge, but it's very compact and has a pressure gauge to keep an eye on the PSI. This dispenser is popular with homebrew makers as well as those who like to fill up at a local micropub, though it might be a little too small for some. 

Cheap, cheerful, and with multicoloured LED lights thrown in for good measure, this tower is the perfect party companion. The cooling element can be filled with ice to chill without diluting the contents, or removed to maximise the capacity. It's really easy to use and clean up afterwards too. 

Sure, it's not going to appeal to serious beer buffs, but if a multipurpose dispenser you can use for various drinks and occasions seems like a wiser way to spend your money, this may well be just what you were looking for. 

Growlers – those American-style glass containers used to take beer home from a pub or brewery – are a great alternative to grabbing a crate of cans for a party or a few bottles for a picnic. Enter the uKeg, a double-wall vacuum-insulated steel growler that keeps beverages chilled for up to 9 hours. 

Better yet, it'll keep your beer fresh and carbonated for weeks thanks to a CO2 charger (which you will need to buy separately). So, not only is it ideal for taking on the go, but it's a great way to add some fizz to your homebrew – even if it is a little pricey for what it is. 

Not looking to spend a lot, but still want the draught beer experience at home? Powered by two AA batteries, this beer tap transforms your favourite 330 ml, 440 ml or 500 ml cans into a pub-worthy pint. 

Seeing as there's no keg involved, it's also much more compact in size than many – you could even pack it in the car for a camping trip. The only thing to be aware of is that it won't chill your beer for you, so you'll have to make sure any cans of lager or cider are already cold.
