IF you, like us, have ever craved a smooth, fresh-from-the-barrel pint on long-haul flights, you could be one step closer to that dream.
The trolley and keg are 3D-printed, and uses air pressure instead of carbon dioxide to keep the cold beer flowing from the tap even in pressure-controlled airplane cabins.
Conventionally, carbon dioxide is used to keep beer flowing from the taps, but for safety reasons, carbon dioxide canisters are prohibited on-board.

I always said, the day an airline would serve me a good cold beer and amazing bread they´d conquer the skies... KLM…
On top of that, the airline pre-cools the keg before take-off by placing it in a specially insulated container which helps maintain the keg’s optimum temperature.
The costs and labor associated with building the custom-designed trolley, however, means there’s only one draft trolley for now, and we hope to see the option on KLM flights in Asia.
In recent years, airlines have been diversifying their beer menu with craft beers, micro distilleries and custom blended brews.
