Yep - got 2 pumps on the go in the garden bar. Absolutely love it

Its not difficult to set up - but you've got to be on it with the cleaning of the pipes.

You'll need C02 gas but it lasts for ever.

The annoying thing is different breweries do different attachments so if you are going to swap around you'll need to get the different barrel attachments.

I only do different lagers - cant comment on bitters or stout.

I had shed bar but we just used ice buckets, bottles and cans . Have got a perfect draught machine which is a good bit of kit

All seems a bit antisocial to me. Wouldn’t you rather go to the pub?

I set it up when Covid struck … still go to the pub. But at £2 a pint it’s a lot cheaper. Tend to use it more in the summer when loads of non village people start using my local… so yep I probably am a bit anti -social in the winter it’s mainly just me, a construction worker, a red indian in full head dress and a US policeman who tend to use the local pub… and that’s how I like it.

We've become anti social across life generally, it's a wonder we support a club!
Roll on the day when we're clones that just exist to serve the corporation!!🫣

Saw this post via twitter, apologies for not posting for about 10 years.

I started a home bar idea during covid, during 2 edits it reduced in size to be a bbq shack which I can pour beers from...

This then escalated to brewing my own beer.... (it's really good fun) then converted an old dining room into a brew room/pub. All my new beers are named after all things Cov.. The minister of finance said I could do what I like but the budget was very close to zero. So made it out of pallets and old shit I can find in skips & at the local tip shop.

The beer dispense can be cheap by finding stuff on facebook or homebrewing shops. See attached pics.

The beach vibe thing in peoples gardens usually looks tacky but I'm a fan, it looks pretty f*cking cool. Even more so if most of it has been up-cycled or reclaimed. I'm not sure about the plastic container with a peeled off label as a water butt though.

I see you have your stools set up at specific heights. Beware, SBT, if @Trond Egil Soltvedt invites you round for a beer, don't sit on the small one. You don't want to know what that log is for either.

I brew my own, but can connect any kegs to it, the pumps are kegland benchy but they're similar to a lindr. I bought this one has it has a 12v inverter built in so I can take camping or have it mobile.

The whole dispense thing is pretty easy, the problem/cost is in the chilling aspect

When you sell it will be the first thing you need to get rid of if you want serious buyers. Red flag for potential buyers.
