Thought £11 was good for these, good for little parties and all that (or just sit on your own with the TV on) Looks to end on the 24th October, but they are quite popular from what I've seen, so if you're off into a store to grab them, probably better sooner than later, just in case.
Me too, always drink it on draught in Weatherspoons..£2.55 pint,gorgeous

Very decent price! It’s £3.90 at our local! I’ll be hunting out a Weatherspoons as I never knew they did it.

I got the Friels cider keg on this deal - Oh dear - never again. I love my cider but this keg only gives me very frothy cloudy cider with a strange taste. It says the first glass may be frothy but I musy be down about 5 or 6 of these now and still just like the first. Have I got a bad keg or its Friels just an awful cider in keg form?

Millions of beers out there,why on earth would you want to be tethered to a few dozen torps or kegs is crazy plus the micro foam on this is amazing,think of a guiness or caffreys mouthfeel and a head that that’s got bundles of taste & aroma in. Bigger a bubble the more co2 and that = more of an unpleasant first reaction on your tongue & from your trigeminal nerve. its a no brainer for me & saves me £1000’s going to bars

Folks I’ve said it before I’ll say it again,just get a Fizzics waytap & there’s no need to thank me later- it’s beer like the brewmaster intended & that’s any beer

Never seen that before. I'll have to try playing music whilst pouring my home brew and see if it tastes better :wink:

Klarstein do a dispenser similar to that for minikegs. Minikegs are massive in Germany. Most kegs are between €10-15.
There is also the Krups Torpedo - but I dont think that is cheap.

Are you having a laugh? Have you seen the price of that gimmick? And then you need to buy 4 AA batteries to make it work!?!?!

But, but, but... you open a can (or bottle) and drink a can (or bottle); what benefit does a Fizzics provide?

Just been to my local Morrison's today, they had this one also £11, presume it's a limited edition for Halloween.

These can be re-used for homebrew.. so if you need some for brewing it works out a good deal as re-useable.
afellows19871 to garethsmith72
5 Oct 17#42
How? Iv done home brew in the past and wondered if I could reuse these somehow
Trickster to afellows19871
5 Oct 17#55
First you need to remove the plastic bung from the top - on older kegs you could usually just pull it out but most of the new ones use hard plastic ones that need prising out with pliers (be careful not to scratch the keg though, else it'll rust). Then purchase a replacement rubber bung (about 75p from homebrew shops), sterilise the keg, fill with beer plus a bit of priming sugar and insert the new bung.

How you can count beers pint per price...If all beers are diferent, i cannot understand your english logic..It looks like all beer is same and mouthwash.You guys are not buying water which is not always same too.. Its ok when you compare apples with apples for kilo...But not a beer.. And yes...I am better after Desperado polish beer which is 2.20 for 1 liter [2x cans] than this kegs
PhilipGregson to ricardasgudkovas

Wholeheartedly agree, shelf edge price mentality. Compare taste and quality as well as price.

WOW, this is awesome. I didn't even know they sold Shipyard in a keg, that is a great Americian beer right there. And for £11? You can't say no.

Upto 7 weeks shelf life normally for 5l kegs; anybody seen the best before dates on these?

5 Oct 17#45
Heat for the price but I don't know why people bother. Every time I've used one of these it absolutely sprays out and you end up with half beer, half head in your pint. Also can't reasonably chill it. I'd just buy the bottles/cans
davejonsmith

If it helps anyone they had 20 - 30 barrels of the cider and some German Lager at the York Accomb branch reduced to £9 each - short dates until the end of November - down a random clearance isle no where near the booze.

They also have devils backbone ipa for £12 in some morrisons. It's the one they have on draught in wetherspoons. Lovely stuff
That's lager - fizzy, tasteless urine for the uneducated pallet.

know these are far better than bargain basement stuff but the coop have a deal on, 3 x 2L bottles of their own brand cider for £5. 47p a pint. I'm stockpiling the stuff for when summer comes round again :P
What!!! At £5.47 a pint, I likes me Cider, don't get me wrong, thinks l'll be sticking to me thatchers, Stowford and Aspells
Happy slurp ups!
Smeeble to billybonus

Pretty sure there's a full stop after the £5 and it's a more acceptable 47p per pint :joy:
CampGareth to billybonus
5 Oct 17#32
Oh nuts, those looked a lot further apart on mobile. It's £5 for the 6 litres of cider making it 47p a pint, not £5.47 a pint :P

If you use minikegs often, then it may be worth investing in a party star tap or dedicated dispenser. Also, both the Shipyard & Hobgoblin in a minikeg (& smaller cans) are weaker than the bottled version. 4.5% canned compared to 5% bottled.

4 Oct 17#22
Great if you like warm flat beer with a big head. Not much cheaper than buying the quantity in bottles
FREEZIN_WOLF to stevetheman

The wastage and fannying about means im 100% behind the 4 bottles for £6 deal rather than a keg of the same beer that has to be supped pretty quickly at room temp.
