Before you call there are a couple of questions you need to ask yourself:

1. What beer do I what?
2. What beer do I normally drink and am I open to suggestions
3. Over how many days and how fast will I be pouring my beers?
4. Do I want it delivered or do I want to do a self pick up at UNAB?
5. What type of environment and temperatures will you be pouring in?

1. Preferred breweries are usefully on hand same day, all others min 72 hours to bring it in.

1. Yes, any unopened liquor returned to us is subject to a 20% restocking fee.

1. NO!!! only the Breweries can fill kegs. Our job is to pick up and distribute the kegs from the Breweries, then return the empty keg to them for cleaning and refilling.

1. Not on site, but we do have tanks for exchanges. That’s why the tanks have a deposit on them. NOTE: all our CO2 gas is “Food Safe”

1. For a basic keg package with a hand pump NO.
2. For and Advanced Package with CO2 equipment YES!!!

1. See our Keg Tapping 101 series complete with videos.

1. Hand Pumps are for pouring over one or two days at most. Hand pumps push air onto the beer which makes it go flat and change the flavour over the long term.
2. CO2 is always better, but is designed for multiple pours in a row or in the long term it keeps the beer from going flat.

1. All of our rentals are a week long. There is no need to rush to finish the beer be safe take your time.
2. You can also extend your rental for another week if needed. Just call us to get an extension on your agreement (added fee may apply).
