What type of temporary draft system is known for being portable and easy to set up?

The jockey box is recognized for its portability and ease of setup, making it particularly popular for outdoor events, parties, or any scenario where a temporary draft system is required. It typically consists of a portable cooler that contains a coil of beer line running through ice or a refrigeration unit, allowing the beer to be chilled as it is poured. This system allows for quick assembly, can be used in various locations without needing extensive plumbing or electricity, and generally serves a wide range of beer styles with a fresh draft experience.

In contrast, a refrigerated keg system is generally more permanent and stationary, requiring electrical connections and significant setup effort. A normal keg may also be portable, but it typically assumes a more permanent draft system is in place for serving. A siphon system, while simple, does not offer the same quality of a draft experience that a jockey box provides, particularly since it lacks the chilling capability that is integral to the jockey box design.
