We will contact you the week of your event to give you a delivery window. Please let us know on booking if you have any time restrictions for delivery (for example you are hiring a venue). Just let us know on booking if you're after an extended hire period.

If you haven't finished your kegs you can hold onto your kegs and use them at a later date. Ensuring these are stored correctly opened kegs can last around a month (dependent on use by date and brand).

A standard beer keg contains 50 litres of beer which equates to around 175 pots or roughly 5.5 slabs.

You may consider: 10-20 people 1 keg 20-50 people 2 kegs 50-100 people 2-3 kegs >100 people 3-4 kegs ​ We're happy to help you work out how many you'll need, just get in touch.

- A keg coupler - A keg tapping system - A gas bottle View our keg tapping equipment options here. All commercial kegs require a keg coupler which is a special fitting used for attaching and detaching the keg. The coupler connects to the top of the keg, and you connect the gas line from your gas bottle as well as the beer line from your system to it - this lets the beer leave the keg! Different breweries use different types of kegs, and each type requires a specific coupler. All of our equipment hires include all of the equipment you need to dispense. If you are hiring the keg by itself and you aren't sure what coupler you need please let us know and we will be happy to help!

It's easy to set up a keg yourself in 5 quick steps. 1. Connect your beer and gas lines to your keg coupler 2. Attach the keg coupler to the keg (either twist or slide depending on the coupler) 3. Add ice to your keg tapping system (Skip if using a powered system) 4. Turn on the gas and check gas pressure 5. Turn tap on to let the beer flow! If you are picking up a keg and equipment and setting this up yourself we will give you a quick demo of what to do and provide you with detailed instructions to take with you. You can also watch our handy 2 minute video demonstration here.
