Brewery cord is a type of electrical cable consisting of two insulated conductors twisted around each other. It differs from typical household wiring and "cab tire" flexible wiring in that brewery cord has no outer insulating jacket enclosing the two conductors. It is normally made of 14 gauge wire - the same gauge used in North American 120V residential wiring for 15A power and lighting circuits.

The common use of brewery cord is for temporary lighting, where lamp-holders (e.g. "pigtail" types that consist of an insulated screw-base socket with two short leads for connection) can more easily be spliced on at any point along the cable than would be the case with jacketed cable types.
