Thinking about getting one of Chrimbo anyone have any contacts for a keg? Have all the gear just need the need either a Guinness or Heineken. In and around a €100 would be great
Try your local pub mate, they might sell you half a barrel or something, or a licensed sporting club might sort you out,.
When I went lookin for one in the summer they were really really expensive. In the end got one of the local and cost just over 100! But when I was in America last year you could get kegs of bud for between $60 and $70!
They are dearer than that mate for a full keg,then any pub that sells you one will add a few quid on top. Be closer to 180-200 for a keg of heiniken I'd say.
If Ye do get one (Guinness) Make sure ye get a cooler and the Gas , if ye dont have them its undrinkable total shit it happened a mate of mine
Tried a few of the above lads but I'm looking for a dishonest person just in case one exsists on Irishkop that is!
You wont get a Keg of Beer for that Price.Its a Fact.The Cost price of a keg of Larger is between 150- 160 euro.Stout is the Same Price.With Bulmers been much more Expensive.Ive worked in Pubs and Hotels for 10 years and if you can get a Keg for a 100, Please Share as the Publican would be losing out if they sold it at that Price.
Bulmers isn't that much more anymore, but if it's your local he won't sell it at cost as he will see it as your gonna take some of he's punters.
Ah but if you used to work for the owner, or are frineds with the owner, you will get it for cost price,. Thats why I suggested the local, and they would let you take the keg and charge for what you drink, half would probably do it,.
Mate of mine has a big session every crimbo night and just sticks the keg out the back garden and runs the lines in through the kitchen window. Works a treat.
Nothing better than having the proper setup, cooler, short draw on the line, pints are only savage, might as well do it right or else just get a slab of cans or bottles.
I am well aware of the cost price/selling price of a 50 ltr (88 pint) keg but hypothetically speaking "a person in the bar industry or an associated industry might just happen to know some very lucky person who may just be lucky enough to come across a full one on the side of the road who may not have the tools to use it and then might consider selling it below cost to someone who does just in case it goes out of date" Only asking on here thats all.
Ah your looking for one that "fell off the back of a lorry",. you should haave started with that,. Pay some of the local youths to do a job for you
You should have made that Part more clear then.Im sure there could be some one out there for you, or if a barman said the keg was dead and you brought it back with some left in it..Alot of If's and Buts, to save a few Quid. Go down to your Local Dunnes,or Tesco and just buy 24 cans for between 25-30 euro and leave them out the back in the frezzing cold, and get yourself a Spot class, and you wont Know the difference.
Didnt want to be advocating robbing to the good people of Irishkop lads. Its looking like the bag of cans although i have an offer of 160 at the minute.
Agreed but to have it on draught cant be beaten mind you I want to actually go out of the house this Chrimbo Although might be snowed in and us Dubs are rich
