FAQ - Stadium Backpack Info
The Carbonated Backpack

With a small amount of training, you can set up carbonated backpack stations all through your venue capitalizing on more sales.

You want to let your patrons know that every time they come to your stadium or venue, they'll be served a fresh draft beer or soda.  The main trick is to make sure the beverage is pre-chilled. This will also make for smooth keg transfers.

As we just mentioned, you'll need to do a proper keg transfer. Keg Club supplies all the necessary tools and equipment you need to make it easy and fast. The Keg Club transfer kit is economically priced. The best feature is that it can be used for beer or soda and is easily adaptable for cleaning all in one unit.  Therefore you can easily sell soda in the morning and beer at night just making sure you do a proper cleaning between beverages.  Contact a Keg Club representative today for more details or click here. keg transfer kit

The Can & Bottle Backpack

This our most popular model for stadiums and arenas. With this backpack all you have to do is fill the backpack with your beverage can or bottle of choice and  sell. It works like this.

The backpack is designed like a vending machine. You unzip the lid and you will see the interior is divided into 2 sections.  You place your can or bottles in each section.  

You put the backpack on and you're ready to sell.  The backpack has 2 dispensing chutes at the bottom, one for each side.  All you have to do is reach down to the chute, pull one of the cans or bottles out. The next one rolls into place and is ready to be sold.  One of the main features of this backpack is that you can sell 2 different types of cans or bottles out of it.  That's why it's divided into 2 sections.  So for example you could have a regular cola on one side and a diet cola on the other side or you could have cola on one side and beer in the other.

Another great feature is the trash pouch. There is a trash pouch that attaches to the bottom of the backpack which allows the vendor to pull out a beer from the backpack, pour it into a cup and then discard the empty can in the trash pouch. 

The vendor simply then gives the customer the beer in a cup and discards the empty can in the trash pouch under them.  Then they empty the pouch when they go in for a re-fill. If you do want to do it this way, then don't forget to ask for a cup dispenser. Cup dispensers aren't included as a standard feature for this model.

The Non-Carbonated Backpack  

This backpack is great if you're selling cold beverages like juice, water, iced tea or hot beverages like coffee, tea or hot chocolate. 

All you have to do is to have some premixed and pre-chilled beverage available.  You simply take the lid off of the keg that we supply for the backpack and then pour your contents into that keg. You then put the keg in the backpack, zip it all up and put it on. Our non-carbonated backpack is designed with a hand pump at the side, which you would pump in order to pressurize the keg.

Due to the fact that the beverage is non-carbonated, you don't have to worry about co2, therefore our simple to use hand pump is more than sufficient to pressurize the keg. What this means is no more co2 tanks and regulators or air compressors. 

Pre-chill your beverage !!!

I'm sure you have noticed in all of these descriptions that we consistently mention to make sure your beverage is pre-chilled. Our backpacks aren't portable refrigerators so you want to make sure that the beverage is good and cold before you go out to sell. What our backpacks are, are great insulators to keep that beverage cold and a very unique and practical method of selling beverages. All the backpacks are designed to maintain the quality of the beverage.
