Thanks for that but I have dug out my Home Brew barrels and have 80 pints on stock (probably 70 now) and a pair of kits ready to go as soon as barrel 1 is empty
I have been tempted by home deliveries for various places and the above looks ok but there are many people doing it including Doncaster Brewery Don Valley Brewery Imperial Club (Mex) and Bradfield Brewery
BB are delivering almost everywhere and if you buy £60 worth its free delivery. They do Thorne on a Thursday I think it is but literally they go all aound their area within a 50 mile radius it seems.
The other good thing is the price is similar to what you would pay for them in a Supermarket

Good old BB.

Nice one DW

I had a delivery of Select from the Hall cross a couple of weeks ago and it was a little flat.
It might have been a one off but not too impressed
-
I am not as wise or as experienced a drinker as some of chaps, my beer comes 1 pint at a time, so how big is a 36 pint box? Sounds like a barrel?
-
The ones on the bottom line here are 23 to 25 litres so that is what you would get size wise
Edit whoops missed link off but yes it would be barrel sized
I am inclined to leave the Boxes alone as Knockers says they tend to be flat though I have seen people on Youtube demonstrating how to get / keep a head on their Pints and it always involves a hand blender !
Mini Kegs are 5 litres and here is another one delivering https://acorn-brewery.co.uk/buy-our-beer/ (https://acorn-brewery.co.uk/buy-our-beer/) and 5 litres is a bit easier to polish off
If you have serious bucks to throw away (invest) then Perfectdraft is another way to improve those 5 litre kegs
This is an example of one that chills and dispenses Beer / Lager with a Head but shop around if anyone wants one because the prices have rocketted https://www.expondo.co.uk/royal-catering-beer-dispenser-with-cooler-10010978?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI98bJ_7ea6QIVbIBQBh1T8gDxEAQYASABEgKQnvD_BwE (https://www.expondo.co.uk/royal-catering-beer-dispenser-with-cooler-10010978?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI98bJ_7ea6QIVbIBQBh1T8gDxEAQYASABEgKQnvD_BwE)
The good thing is you will be able to find your favourite brew be that Taylors Landlord / Leffe / Jaipur / Lowenbrau - you get the picture the list is endless

I’ve ordered from Bradfield and delivery is normally the next day, great service and it works out at £1.46 a bottle.
-
Are you still socially distancing ? If so I can sit onn our Garden wall lol
See they are brewing Belgian Blue as well - as they say strange times call for strance brewing decisions - might be a bit too strange for May / June
-
Bit of a tangent but had some really nice cider Lily the Pink that someone bought for me, can’t seem to get it anywhere now though - if anyone comes across it on their (limited) travels please let me know
-
Found it on Amazon but out of stock and Beersofeurope but only 5 left
Buy direct ? £62 for 20 Litre Bag in Box ? £1.75 a Pint ish

With free delivery lol

Hilltop Brewery at Conisborough are also delivering cans and bottles.
I put a big order in with Brewdog early on in lockdown which took 3 (three) weeks to arrive! Not sure if they've sorted their issues out yet.
Bad Co. have got some great beers available https://wearebad.co/shop/
KayGees are good for more obscure beers https://kaygees.co.uk/

No problem DW I’ve got a big enough front drive, I didn’t know they were brewing Belgium Blue, looks like I need to put another order in

Ha yes - I knew the advert stuck out - and made me remember it
