Trade
The trade list, in the open.
A landlord deciding whether to take a line should not have to ring and be sold to. Kegs, casks and cans, the prices below plus VAT with the duty in, ordered by Wednesday noon and delivered Thursday or Friday on our own van. Forty-six places stock us; the first order can be sale or return on a seasonal.

What comes with the keg.
The kit
A tap handle, pump clips for every beer, two dozen branded glasses, and a shelf-talker for the cans. Replaced when they walk, which they do.
The cellar visit
A brewer comes in the first month to check the line, the gas and the temperature, because our beer poured badly is worse for us than no beer at all.
Staff tastings
Six beers, half an hour, before a shift, for nothing. A bar team that has tasted the beer sells it; one that has not sells the lager they know.
Sale or return
On a seasonal for a first order: if a keg has not moved in three weeks we swap it for a core-range one. The core range sells; we have never had one back.
Events elsewhere
A mobile bar with four taps and two of us, from £350 plus the beer.
Festivals, weddings at other venues, a rugby club dinner, a company summer party: a trailer bar with four taps, a cooler, two of us to pour, and the glassware, from £350 plus the beer at trade prices. Or kegs with taps and a cooler on loan for the people who want to run it themselves. The form takes the date and the numbers and we quote within the day.

Questions from the trade
Do you do sale or return?
On seasonals for a first order, yes: if a keg has not moved in three weeks we swap it for a core-range one. The core range sells; we have never had one back.
Can you supply a wedding at another venue?
Yes: kegs with taps and a cooler on loan, or the mobile bar with two of us. The trade form takes the date and the numbers and we quote within the day.
Forty-six places stock us. Yours could be forty-seven.
Order by Wednesday noon and the van comes Thursday or Friday. A tap handle, clips and glassware for a permanent line, a brewer in your cellar in the first month, and the first seasonal on sale or return.
