A clean and simple retro fridge, the Northstar Brew Master Refrigerator comes with a built-in draught system that includes a tap dispenser, coupler, connections, CO2 cylinder, and drip tray. You even have the option of having the keg and fittings removed to utilize a full fridge capacity.

Priced between $3,000 and $5,300, the Northstar Brew Master Refrigerator is available in three styles: 1950, 1951 and 1952.
