New sale date 7th Jan.

Seems like that was a mistake on the website and the PD's are not now going to be on sale.

Where did you hear that?

It's likely due to the covid restrictions and them only supposed to be selling essential goods?

The item was pulled from the website a few days ago and I asked in store there yesterday. Seems like I wasn't the first inquiry there either. Seems to be a theory going that they diverted the Irish stock to the UK online sales.

Off to one of the EU amazon's for me anyway. More money for Jeff B.

None in my local Aldi

endabob1 · 07-01-2021 1:50pm

Not on the website anymore that I could see so assume that as said above it has been pulled or rerouted

Shabow21 · 13-01-2021 6:16pm

Anyone know where you can purchase the perfect draft machine? Anywhere up north to get the kegs? Tested my brother in law one, very very tasty. Need to buy but all sold out on all websites I checked

Alkers · 25-01-2021 1:15am

Looking like these are starting to come back in stock online, where's the best price people have seen? Beer gals have a bundle at 400e which includes 120e worth of beer if you were to buy it from them.

Johann. · 28-01-2021 8:35pm

Hi Guys,

Any other Irish sites selling these? Anyone had trouble getting kegs since brexit?

Interested in one for ages and think i'll treat myself

Sixtoes · 28-01-2021 11:47pm

I have a Perfect Draft machine if anyone is interested. Purchased from Beer Hawk in the UK at the beginning of last years lockdown. Only ever used for four 6L kegs, so pretty much as new. Kegs now available in Ireland from The Beer Gals.
Lucan, Dublin. €260

As an example, it's worth a play on both sites as there's a few options available and delivery is 15e - 20e

Thanks for that. There’s some nice options with a couple of kegs on Amazon Germany but can’t deliver to Ireland unfortunately

No you have to buy the machine alone, none of the bundles will ship to here from the EU or UK

Sixtoes · 30-01-2021 8:22pm

Or available (as new) immediately for collection in Dublin for €260! You want have transportation delays & no import tax’s!
Order the kegs from beer gals and you could be pulling your own pints by Wednesday!!

:pac: We are the only country in the World where people will chance their arm selling something second hand for full price money

Alkers · 01-02-2021 6:46pm

My unit arrived today from France (only ordered on Wednesday so that's a good turn around). Kegs arrived from Beer gals on Friday. Does anyone keep them in the fridge before putting them in the unit? The manual says to only refrigerate them upright but they're an awkward size to do that.

In fairness it’s €310 + €10 delivery to buy in Ireland so not exactly chancing my arm.
Also works out more expensive from Amazon Europe when you include delivery.
Finally, I did say previous that I was open to offers!

Fair play! I kept my kegs in fridge on their side before using. The warmer they are the more froth you get. I’d say it’ll take 5-6 hrs to get to correct temp using the machine only. If it fits in the freezer even better.

Donbo · 13-02-2021 8:17pm

Sixtoes, interested. Will drop you a PM.

Keep my spares on their side in the fridge - no issues. Keeps them cool enough so that they are good to go in a much shorter time when you stick them in the machine. I would normally give a new keg out of the fridge, an hour or so to settle and then crack on

Saw on Facebook that Aldi commented that they would not be going on sale. Third time that has happened

Part of the deal to stock the Big Beers in their Irish stores perhaps?

John_Mc · 11-05-2021 7:27pm

Back in the Aldi brochure to sell. Found this thread after googling it

jousting with chairs · 11-05-2021 10:45pm

They posted a reply to someone on Twitter today saying that they would not be on sale until November.

2ndcoming · 12-05-2021 2:43pm

It's a fantastic machine but the thing that makes it great on the continent is you can go to your local supermarket and pick up a keg for a tenner.

It loses a lot of its lustre when you're reduced to one seller in Ireland who charge four times that plus delivery.

At that point it costs basically the same as a pint in the pub, and you have the hassle of chilling the kegs yourself. Cool idea but a non runner at the prices mentioned for me, until a legit retailer launches the kegs in Ireland at realistic prices.

Even the Skal beer dispensers that hold any 5L keg would work out a lot cheaper at present where you can get Krombacher and a few others for €25 in Supervalu and lots of Irish craft brewers make them so might do you a deal on a few.

Alkers · 12-05-2021 2:58pm

You can get the kegs online (from within the EU) (legally as far as I'm aware) for as little as €9 + €5 delivery (per keg assuming 4 kegs per order) + €5 deposit per keg.

It's almost certain that it's not legal because the companies aren't paying Irish duty and VAT on that, which they are legally obliged to do.

I have a question please….I would like to order this from Germany….was going to register a mailboxde account for shipping. Would it work or are there any risks? Thanks.

Mailboxde says it won't transport alcohol or any other excisable goods.

Can they be sourced anywhere in Europe that would deliver here? I see them on Amazon UK for over £500 but obviously that's a no.

Spocker · 13-05-2021 7:48pm

Theres some places that will deliver here (or used to) like beerhawk, but no matter where you order from you run the risk of seizure by Revenue, it's not worth it TBH

I've used Beerwein twice now and have had no issue, and going by the FB page no one has had that particular issue, great way to stock up on some lagers for future BBQs.

Does anyone know when Beermonkeys are going to go live?

Yup, got some on Monday, took 10 days from ordering.
Similar with the first order I put it

Mod: Lads, reminder that the importation of alcohol is only allowed with a licence. Please don't be discussing importation of kegs.

Was hoping to get one of these in Aldi on Sunday, it's an awful shame they won't have them. Been looking online & found this place in France selling them for €229.99 https://www.boulanger.com/ref/1117044 they only deliver to France. Anyway to get it shipped here using something like a Parcel Motel/Address Pal? Or from this place for €249.99 https://www.saveur-biere.com/en/beer-dispensers/678-perfectdraft-hd-3620.html who deliver to Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain & Sweden?

Unfortunately both Amazon France & Germany both sold out. Hopefully someone gets these in back in stock soon, dying to get one of these, especially for the summer. But thanks for the heads up 👍

redmond08 · 16-05-2021 4:18pm

I got the PD from a French online store called Cdiscount for €279.99, €24.99 for delivery. Should be here before the 24th. Made up over it 😁 What kegs do people recommend?

What do you normally drink?
Lowenbrau is a good one to have in stock, Clwb tropica is a fruity IPA, my favourite on the PD by far.
