We are building a bar in our shed. We want taps, kegs etc. Has anyone done this before? What kinda gear do you need for a working tap etc. Where can one buy kegs? Bit clueless when it comes to it but would love to do it properly.

Just put in a bar but no kegs / unless you are turning over a high volume (raging alcoholics) the kegs will be sat there only used for the craic and the taste will be horrible. Also you will need refrigeration for the kegs . Better off with a bottle bar . Under counter glass door fridges filled with your favourite tippple And pour it into a Glass

I think you can hire most of that stuff from "prop me up".

Just rent the gear for the parties ? We used to do that all the time. Most good pubs with off licences will rent you the taps and coolers and you buy a keg or two. They'll even come and install it in your gaff and pick it up the next day. One place in Galway even asked us if we wanted our own barman for the night ! It's not a bad idea as there is a lot of waste if you get lads that can't pull a pint and especially when everyone is bananas.

Never actually knew you could rent them tbh. Thanks for that. Still would like to buy our own though I think.
