Welcome To The Neighborhood!
Looking for a great way to welcome in the new neighbors down the street? Host a housewarming party for them! You can invite a bunch of people from the neighborhood so that the new family can feel welcomed and can get to know the people that live on their street.
Another way to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood is to plan the party at their house (with their permission, of course!) and have each person in the neighborhood bring some food or drinks so that the new family is more the guest than a host.
If you want to plan a housewarming party at either your own home or the home of a new neighbor, having a portable mini kegerator (and bringing the mini keg with you to the party) is a great way to add to the festivities. A portable kegerator is basically a small sized appliance, about the size of a coffee maker, which houses a mini-sized keg of beer and dispenses it from a tap. Because of its small size, it is easily transportable, so you can take it with you when the party is somewhere other than your own home. And since a mini kegerator holds as much beer as a bunch of cans or bottles, it is an easy way to show up with the beer for the party, and also serves as a gathering spot for guests during the party.
By setting up a portable kegerator at a housewarming party, it serves as a place where people can gather and can get to know the new neighbors. For some reason, the kegerator becomes the spot to “hang out”, much like you would sit around the bar in a restaurant. Maybe it’s just the great tasting draft beer than no one wants to be far from or maybe it’s just the fact that a mini kegerator is a cool conversation piece that draws attention to a crowd. Whatever it is, having a mini kegerator to gather round is very different than if everyone just takes his or her own can or bottle of beer from a cooler and then disperses. Even better? If you neighbor has a keezer (freezer converted to hold kegs) then you my friend have hit the jackpot!

If your neighborhood is extremely social and generous, and always enjoys having a good party, you and your neighbors may even want to consider chipping in a few dollars apiece to buy the new neighbors a mini kegerator as a housewarming gift from the rest of the neighborhood. Check out a cool service call Pay It Square. You can collect/pool money online for a gift.
Of course, before you do so, you should try to find out if the new neighbors even enjoy drinking beer, because if not, this gift may not be very well received. But if they do, it can be a rather unique gift that says “Welcome to the neighborhood! We look forward to spending fun times with you in the future.”
If you’re looking to buy a mini or portable kegerator for the new neighbors as a housewarming gift, you can find models that range in price from around $100 or so to upwards of $300 or more. Mini kegerators often come in a sleek, stainless steel design, so they are sure to go with most any décor and look great on a home bar or kitchen counter. Most can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet at home or can be converted to an adaptor that plugs into a car, truck or RV for those that like to take their party on the road.
Housewarming parties are a great way to welcome new neighbors to the neighborhood, while also being a great way for old neighbors to catch up with one another. Gathering around the portable kegerator – or chipping in to supply the new neighbors with their very own mini kegerator as a housewarming gift – can really be a thoughtful way to let your new neighbors know that you are happy to have them in your neighborhood.
