Keg Compatibility

Works with all 5 standard UK connectors

Every keg sold in the UK uses one of five standard connectors โ€” called couplers. Just tell us what beer you're serving when you book and we'll include the right one.

How do keg connectors work? A coupler is the fitting that connects your tap line to the top of the barrel. Different breweries use different types โ€” Guinness uses an A-type, Carling a G-type, Heineken an S-type, and so on. When you book, just tell us which beer you plan to serve and we'll include the correct coupler for your keg. No guesswork, nothing to buy separately.

Not sure which coupler your keg uses? Simply name the beer at checkout โ€” we'll look it up and confirm before we dispatch. Or ask your keg supplier when you order โ€” they'll know straight away.

FAQ

Questions answered

It depends on the pace of your event more than the guest count. The Solo Tap works well for up to around 40 guests at a relaxed gathering โ€” a garden party or birthday where people aren't all queuing at once. The Twin Tap suits up to around 75 guests in a similar setting. If you're expecting non-stop high-volume service โ€” like a busy wedding bar where everyone drinks at the same time โ€” you'd be better off with our dry hire bar setup, which is built for that kind of throughput.
Local drinks wholesalers, off-licences and breweries are your best bet โ€” most will deliver direct to your door. Your nearest brewery or local trade drinks supplier will usually have a great range. Not sure where to find one near you? Just ask us when you book โ€” we're happy to point you towards local suppliers. Make sure to tell us the beer you're planning at checkout so we can include the right coupler.
No external gas is needed. The unit has a built-in air pump that provides the pressure to dispense, plus built-in refrigeration to keep the beer cold. Just plug it in, connect your keg and you're ready. No gas bottle, no chiller, no expertise required.
Very straightforward โ€” full printed instructions are included with every unit. Plug in, attach the coupler we've included for your keg, connect the beer line and switch on. It cools down quickly and you'll be pouring in no time. Most people are set up in under 10 minutes.
All standard UK keg types โ€” A-type (Sankey), G-type (Grundy), U-type, S-type and KeyKeg. This covers the vast majority of commercially available beers, lagers and ciders. If you are unsure which coupler your keg uses, your supplier will be able to tell you.
Minor wear is fine โ€” we inspect each unit on return. Accidental damage is assessed and deducted from the deposit before it is returned. Serious damage or loss of the unit may result in additional charges beyond the deposit, which is why we ask you to confirm your liability at checkout. Solo Tap replacement value is ยฃ799. Twin Tap replacement value is ยฃ999.
Once the unit is collected and checked โ€” usually the same day or next day โ€” we process your refund immediately. It typically appears in your account within 3โ€“5 working days depending on your bank.
Get in touch before your hire date and we can discuss availability. Extensions are possible but subject to the unit not being booked for the following weekend. Contact us to arrange.
