PattayaParent Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 With a keg you'd need the pump / refrigeration unit to dispense it also so that would put up the cost. But having draft on tap at home could be worth it. You'd also need a supplier, I haven't ever seen kegs on sale in the booze godowns. A few cases kept in the 'fridge could be a lot simpler though, and you'd konw how many are left before you run dry. Let's know if you go for the keg and I'll drop round for a pint myself.

But they are imported beers and, therefore, cost 900-1000 baht. Pricey, but good beer and kind of a nice (fancy) presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a house warming where the Chang distributor did exactly that. In fact, they also provided and set up a booth in the yard , provided pitchers with Chang printed on them, and sent a couple of people to run it. I have no idea of the cost involved but it might be no more expensive than having cases of bottled beer. Seemed like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.... Kegs go stale in a few days, right??? They are Okay for a party, but not for 'on tap', drop in scenario. Bottles can store longer and you can provide a 'selection'. DON'T crack a keg until it's sat for several hours in a very cold fridge. ------------------------------------ WOTs yer address???
