A direct draw kegerator puts the kegs directly under the tower, so beer lines stay under 5 feet. No glycol required, simple to balance, low install cost. A remote system uses a glycol-chilled trunk line to run beer 20–200+ feet from a walk-in to the tower. Direct draw is the right call for bars pouring under ~10 kegs per tap per week; go remote for heavy volume or when the cooler can’t sit near the bar.

Flexibility. The cabinet ships with pre-drilled mounting holes on the stainless top so you choose the tower, faucet count, and drip tray that fit your bar’s layout and brand aesthetic. Howdy Brewer carries Perlick, Micromatic, and Krome towers in 1, 2, 3, and 4-faucet configurations.

Glass is a merchandising tool when guests sit across the bar — servers don’t have to open the door to check stock, and craft selection is visible at 15 feet. Solid doors are more energy-efficient, give better condensation control in humid rooms, and keep bottle labels from UV-fading — the right choice for service-side or back-of-house coolers that guests don’t see.

Capacity is listed two ways: cases of 24-count 12-oz longneck bottles, or cases of 12-oz cans. Cans pack tighter so you always get more case capacity with cans. A 65" Serv-Ware bottle cooler, for example, holds 25 cases of longnecks or 34 cases of cans. Size on the format you stock heaviest.

Yes — every Serv-Ware commercial unit on this page is NSF certified for commercial food and beverage service and UL listed for electrical safety. That’s the certification most health inspectors and commercial insurance policies require. Residential-grade refrigeration will fail a commercial inspection.

2-year parts and labor on the full unit, plus a 5-year warranty on the compressor — the single most expensive service component. The extended coverage is why we stock this line.

Yes. Every unit ships fully assembled and pre-charged via LTL freight. Plug in, level with the built-in corner levelers, and you’re running. Bottom-mount compressor breathes through the front grille so the cabinet installs flush against walls and adjacent equipment — no side or rear clearance required.

Standard North American commercial: 115V / 60Hz / 1-phase with a NEMA 5-15P plug. Any 15A or 20A commercial receptacle will power the unit. No dedicated circuit or 208/230V service required.
