PortaPint 25C Draught Beer Dispenser – Single Tap Portable Beer Cooler
The PortaPint 25C Draught Beer Dispenser is a compact single-tap portable beer cooler with a built-in air compressor, designed for parties, home bars, smaller events and temporary draught drinks dispense.
Capable of cooling and dispensing up to 25 litres per hour – approximately 45 pints – the PortaPint 25C provides a straightforward way to serve chilled draught beer, cider and other compatible kegged drinks.
Its dry cooling technology requires no water bath or ice bank, while the integrated compressor can provide dispense pressure for compatible keg systems.
PortaPint 25C Single Tap Beer Dispenser
The PortaPint 25C combines the beer cooler, single compensator tap and air compressor within one compact unit.
It is particularly suited to applications where only one draught product is required and the capacity of a larger twin or triple-tap dispenser is unnecessary.

Up to 25 Litres / 45 Pints Per Hour
The PortaPint 25C has a rated output of:
- 25 litres per hour
- Approximately 45 pints per hour
This capacity makes it particularly suitable for smaller events, private parties and temporary bars where a single draught product is being served.
Actual performance will depend on incoming product temperature, required serving temperature, ambient conditions and dispense rate.
Built-In Air Compressor
The integrated air compressor provides dispense pressure where compressed air is appropriate for the keg system being used.
This removes the need for a separate external air compressor and makes the dispenser particularly convenient with KeyKeg and compatible bag-type keg systems, where the driving air remains separated from the beverage.
Using the PortaPint 25C with KeyKegs
The PortaPint 25C is well suited to KeyKeg dispense.
With a KeyKeg, compressed air applies pressure outside the internal product bag rather than coming directly into contact with the drink.
This allows the PortaPint's built-in compressor to provide the driving pressure without introducing compressed air into the beverage.
The usable life of an opened KeyKeg will depend on the beverage, storage conditions and manufacturer's recommendations.
Using Conventional Steel Kegs
The built-in compressor can also be used with compatible conventional steel kegs for short-term dispense, such as a party or event where the keg will be consumed quickly.
When compressed air is used with a conventional steel keg, oxygen comes into contact with the beverage.
For longer-term connection, use the correct CO2 or mixed beverage gas recommended by the brewery or keg supplier.
Dry Cooling Technology
The PortaPint 25C uses a dry cooling system, so there is no water tank to fill or conventional ice bank to build before operation.
The beverage is chilled as it passes through the internal cooling system before reaching the dispense tap.
This makes the unit practical for temporary installations where straightforward setup, transport and storage are important.
Compensator Beer Tap
The single dispense point is fitted with a compensator tap featuring adjustable flow control.
This allows the flow rate to be adjusted at the tap to suit the connected product and dispense setup.
Correct product temperature, pressure and beer line configuration are still required for a properly balanced draught system.

What Else Will I Need?
The additional equipment required will depend on the keg being connected and may include:
- Correct keg coupler
- Beer or product pipe
- Air or gas pipe
- Push-fit fittings
- External CO2 or mixed gas regulator where bottled gas is required
Always confirm the keg valve type, dispense method and recommended operating pressure before selecting the associated equipment.
Important
The built-in compressor supplies compressed air, not CO2 or mixed beverage gas.
Compressed air is particularly suitable for KeyKegs and compatible bag-type keg systems. With conventional steel kegs, use compressed air only for short-term dispense where appropriate.
For longer-term steel keg dispense, use the beverage gas recommended by the brewery or keg supplier.
For best results and a long shelf life (8 weeks or more) use keykegs and the built in air compressor of the dispenser. Lots of keykeg products can be found here The Keg Company
