Draught Beer/Lager at home?

Regy53 · 24 Nov 2019 at 20:37

if oakham or beavertown ever got involved I would be a poor poor man...

Beavertown specifically

So I've decided. I'm getting one but will hold out to see what the week offers on price as I'm sure it'll go down. If it doesn't I'll just suck it up.

So what would you recommend as some kegs to start on? I'm getting a clwb for sure as I like my hoppys but other than that I've not tried many others on their site. After a few more nice ipas and a decent pilsner or lager.

Lagers a big one as one of my mates only drinks lagers (peroni, birra morretti, estrella, so atleast decent ones)

On the hoppy side

For the Lagers

Jupiler

Do it. What you got in the basket, machine starter bundle with 6 kegs?

Works out less than that for most beers

£30 a keg, less 20% = £24
2.40 beer tokens on purchase and £5 on keg return

so final is £16.60 a keg / 10.56 pints = £1.57 a pint

They don't have guest beers but new ones come along occasionally and stay

On the hoppy side

Goose IPA
Goose Midway
Jaipur
Clwb Tropicana
La Virgin 360 (not tried this yet)

hoping to see some more from Tiny Rebel soon

Would love to see some real craft stuff NEIPA / DIPA etc but no sign at moment

Is the 20% off if you buy 4 kegs? Is this a regular offer?

Rotty · 26 Nov 2019 at 20:56

10% off 2 and 20% off 4

Seems to be a permanent deal

Lakeland · 26 Nov 2019 at 21:02

Just bought a shed load of perfect draft kegs, all stocked up for Xmas
