Questions people ask us
Straight answers about ordering, delivery and kit. If yours isn't here, ring 07860 470824 or send a message.
Is delivery free?
Delivery is free around Barnsley, Wakefield, Castleford and Pontefract. A small fee may apply in other areas, and we will tell you before you commit to anything.
Do prices include VAT?
Yes. Prices are fully inclusive of VAT. What you see is what you pay.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the day you order and what you're after. Some products can be same day, others within a day or two, and some need ordering in. We confirm the lead time when we get in touch about your order.
Can you get other products?
Yes. We can get anything that's available in kegs and in stock. Just ask. There is a box on the order form for anything that's not on the list.
Do I pay online?
No. Nothing is charged on the website and there is no deposit. Send your order request, we get in touch to confirm stock and the date, and you pay on delivery.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash or bank transfer, paid on delivery. There is no deposit and nothing to pay until your kegs arrive.
What do I need to pour a keg?
A keg needs a pump or cooler unit with a tap and the right coupler for that keg, plus gas to push the beer through. If you do not have your own kit, we hire single and double pump units and a full mobile bar. Tell us what you are ordering and we will make sure it all fits together.
How long does a keg last once tapped?
Longer than you might think. Plenty of websites say a tapped keg only lasts a week or so, but with the right set-up and a bit of care we regularly see kegs stay fresh and enjoyable for six to eight weeks. We have kept one on tap for nine weeks and it still tasted much as it did on the first pint. Keep it cold, keep it under gas and keep the lines clean, and it will look after itself.
What happens to the empty keg?
Kegs stay the property of the brewery, so we collect empties after your event. We will arrange collection when we confirm your order. There is no deposit on kegs or hire equipment.
How long is the hire period for pumps and bars?
Hire prices are per hire. We will agree drop-off and collection times with you when we confirm your order, so tell us the date of your event and we will work around it.
Do I need to be 18?
Yes. You must be 18 or over to order, and we operate Challenge 25 on delivery, so please have ID ready if you look under 25.
How many pints are in a keg?
A 50 litre keg is about 88 pints, a 30 litre keg is about 52 pints and a 10 gallon keg is about 80 pints. Every product page has a calculator that works out how many kegs you need from your guest numbers.
