IPA, XPA, Lager or Stout: Keep Your Favourite Style Brewery-Fresh

Hoppy beers taste best in the first few weeks after they’re brewed, and oxygen is their enemy. Fill a keg at your local brewery, keep it under CO₂, and pour it the way the brewer intended.

Beer kegs and filling gear

Why freshness matters

Hops fade fast

IPAs and pale ales lose their aroma over weeks, especially warm.

Oxygen ruins beer

A flushed, sealed keg under CO₂ keeps air out.

Straight from the source

Fill at the brewery for the freshest pour you can get at home.

Less packaging

Refill the same keg instead of buying cans.

Buying guide

Beer styles explained

IPA (India pale ale)

Strong, hoppy and aromatic, usually 6–7% ABV. West coast IPAs are clear, bitter and piney; hazy IPAs (NEIPAs) are cloudy, juicy and soft. IPAs are the most freshness-sensitive style, so drink them young.

Pale ale and XPA

A pale ale is a lighter, more balanced hoppy ale, usually around 4.5–5.5%. An XPA (“extra pale ale”) is an Australian style that’s lighter in colour and body, with bright, fruity hops — very sessionable.

Pacific ale

An Australian take on the pale ale: light, cloudy and tropical, built around local hops such as Galaxy.

Lager and pilsner

Crisp, clean beers fermented cool. Pilsners are a hoppier, drier style of lager.

Stout and nitro stout

Dark, roasty beers. Poured with nitrogen, a stout gets the creamy, cascading head you know from the pub. The iKegger 2.0 tap handles nitro without changing spouts, and the optional Pub Tap Add-On takes a stout-style spout if you want the bar-tap look. We recommend pure nitrogen bulbs for stout.

Keeping beer fresh in a keg

  1. Clean, sanitise and chill the keg before filling.
  2. Flush it with CO₂ so the beer doesn’t touch oxygen.
  3. Fill from the bottom with a hose, or use the Auto-Stop Filler for a counter-pressure fill.
  4. Keep it in the fridge at about 12–14 psi.

A carelessly filled keg of craft beer can start to go off within 48 hours; a sanitised, flushed and carefully filled one keeps for weeks. Find a brewery that fills iKegger kegs on our filling page.

Please enjoy alcohol responsibly. Kegs ship empty and we don’t sell alcohol.

Questions

Frequently asked

What’s the difference between an IPA and a pale ale?

An IPA is stronger and hoppier, usually 6–7% ABV. A pale ale is lighter and more balanced.

What is an XPA?

An extra pale ale: an Australian style that’s lighter in colour and body than a pale ale, with bright, fruity hops.

How long does beer last in a keg?

With a sanitised, CO₂-flushed and carefully filled keg kept cold, craft beer stays fresh for weeks. Hoppy styles are best drunk sooner.

Can I pour stout with nitro at home?

Yes. Use pure nitrogen bulbs. The standard iKegger 2.0 tap pours nitro stout without swapping spouts; the Pub Tap Add-On with a stout-style spout is an option if you prefer a pub tap.

Nothing beats coming to the beach with a 4L Aperol spritz ready to drink. 2 more tours to the beach in Barcelona and the payback is completed 😁

Great quality product also easy ordering and delivery, initially bought one 5L insulated keg but it looked lonely in my fridge so had to buy another, currently sampling the delights of draft beer at home from some of my local Margaret River breweries watching the World Cup, life is good😀⚽️🍺
