Errrr. No.

People have been setting up kegged beer dispensors
for ages. There are even a number of sites showing
how to set it up permanently in a frigerator.

The bullshit about dispensing soft drinks was
pointless, beside the point and irrelevant.

You can carbonate beer in a keg, or dispense it
from a keg, or carbonate it in a keg and bottle it.
This is what is important. Ignorant blather
about soft drinks is simply irrelevant to kegging
beer which can be done easily if you are willing
to put out the $$$$ for the gear.

The OP was asking about dispensing homebrewed beer
from a keg it looks like. No prob. Rack beer from
the secondary to a keg hook up the CO2 carbonate
in a fridge, dispense from a hose and nozzle
when the beer has adequately carbonated to desired
carbonation level.

Google: Homebrew beer, keg

What the OP did not want was an irrelevant and
pointless lecture on soft drinks.

There are dozens of sites that tell how it is
done and sells the kegs and accessories.
Once one knows it can be done with cornelius kegs,
its a matter of deciding if the cost is warranted
for what you want to do.

Many people keg beer, many homebrew suppliers
sell the gear. That is what the OP wanted to know.

No ****, Sherlock. Rather than blather ignorantly
about soft drinks, speak to the subject. Beer
and cornelius kegs. Dispensing beer can be done.
Cornelis keg systems is how its done in the homebrew
world.
