    Seen some in Supervalu last night, think they were Whitehag, but were a daft price @ e38 for 5l.

    Are the 5 litre kegs worth it, I have awful memories as an 18 year old buying those stupid Heineken kegs and half the thing would end up as foam. Do these ones work well? I have been staring at the White Hag website thinking about buying one.

    They're a novelty. You will likely get more value from buying the same quantity of cans tbh

    This.
    5liter Kegs, growers, draught set ups......
    They all work out dearer than buying cans!

    I have spent way too much on Lambic beer boxes, though! But there's no cheaper can alternative.

    I agree. And at least you know the last can/bottle will be as fresh and carbonated as the first.

    I'm sure the breweries must love shifting 5 litres to one customer though, compared to the usual pick and mix I imagine most craft beer drinkers would do.

    I purchased 4 5l kegs from the German site last Monday. I paid by bank transfer. On my account it still says not payed and not shipped. Should I be worried?

    There's a little "show order" link on the bottom right when you log into your account and look at the order. That'll bring up the shipping information, it's not obvious anything has happened until you click in there.
    Mine still shows in progress but I've most of it drank..

    Mine says not shipped when I click into the order. The "pay now" tab is still active too!

    I messed up venting mine and when I came home loads of beer was on top. Still tasted delicious but will have to buy another.

    Picked up one of these of Little Fawn and drank on Saturday evening.

    While the price looks steep, the equivalent litres of beer would cost you €37.50 (assuming you got 4 for €10 in the cans). So an extra 50c for having your own mini keg and feeling slightly like you are in a bar.

    I didn't think it was very different to the beer from the can but I would definitely get one of them again, brilliant for a bit of a novelty. Extremely simple to use and no waste from the pour either.

    So much for German efficiency....

    A friend had been buying wine and port from a website in Portugal. All was going well for a while, he got a few shipments delivered, then things went quiet with an order pending, next thing it was cancelled and the website updated to say that they didn't ship to Ireland anymore. When he called them, they said it was due to Irish tax issues.

    Thanks,

    G.
