Hello Backers,
We are in the last stages of getting manufacturing complete and dealing with all the nightmares we have encountered in this quest. Partially, the reason for not posting more updates is definitely sue to the abusive flaming we receive when we post.
We are truly sorry for the delays - ALL of which have been completely unexpected and unanticipated by us. However, we are committed to getting the BeerGater out and to our backers as soon as we can. We recently dealt with an issue relating to the CO2 where yet another government agency insisted on getting involved. We had no idea they would do that.
We are expecting manufacturing to be completed within a month or two, and we are confident we will not have further production issues. This has cost us a FORTUNE and we will be forced to raise the price of the retail units significantly for future customers.
So, this is the latest update and now we expect all sorts of vituperation and complaints, but we are truly sorry that we can't do anything faster or more efficiently than our contractors and factories can do. As we have iterated in the past, we will NOT release a garbage product. The product we were delivered for production is awesome and everything worked flawlessly, so we green-lighted the production. (That was after some very serious setbacks.) Once green-lighted, we ran into a CO2 issue that is now fixed. We pray for no more unexpected nightmares.
For those who have been exceedingly patient and actually sent us encouraging thoughts, we appreciate it beyond what you know. Thank you. But we do expect a little more flaming until we are finally able to ship our backers the excellent product we invented and sincerely apologize for the delays.
BeerGater team.

We are FINALLY finished the manufacturing testing and the products are working perfectly and approved. We had some serious challenges with the injectors and also the pressure tanks were driving us crazy and difficult to manage from halfway around the globe.
Obviously, we are very sorry for the production delays, as we had absolutely no way of predicting these problems. We have basically hit EVERY possible problem known to man and then some.
However, we are not "Coolest Cooler 2.0" or anything of that nature. We will not be sending anyone used products or faulty ones, etc. so please reserve your nasty comments for other venues. It's not so easy to start a company and create a brand new product that has never existed before, and we apologize for the horrendous delays. But you WILL receive your BeerGaters. We still do not have a concrete delivery date.

Hi Everyone,
Our manufacturing is proceeding well. We are waiting for the first production sample before we can approve the actual run for thousands of units. We are dealing with different vendors, so we need to approve three different manufacturing elements before we order all the units. We will keep you posted on the results. Thanks for your unending patience!

Hi Everyone,
We have started the manufacturing process and so far things are progressing well. We are working to get our inventory as soon as we can so we can get everything shipped to our backers.
Thanks for your support and we sincerely regret that this project has run into so many hurdles. We are doing everything we can to make sure we get our backers their BeerGaters as soon as possible. You will receive pressure tanks that are better than the ones depicted in the video with a CO2 injector system that is much better than the one depicted in the video.
Thank you for your patience!
- Team BG -

Hi BeerGater fans and supporters. The BeerGater team would like to thank all our supporters and backers and let everyone know that we are FINALLY in full production with the BeerGater and the new CO2 pressure tanks. The tanks ran into some serious engineering and design challenges we had to solve to deliver a better experience to customers. The tanks have been completed and we're finally in production. Stand by for delivery estimates, but we are estimating mid March.
