Jockey Box

An insulated container (typically a cooler) containing ice and water used to cool beer being served on tap in temporary locations.

Jockey boxes can have a cold plate set up or a coil set up. A jockey box using a cold plate uses ice to cool beer flowing through the cool plate, whereas a jockey box using a coil set set up uses ice and water to chill beer flowing through the coil.
