I'm not that bad, quick look shows I've bought 29 kegs with 1 still in the machine and 1 unopened.

 

Edit: Plus however many I've bought from the shop in Wallyford.

 

In excess of more than 100 pints than myself. Guzzlers, we need more data, please.

 

So far, I'm claiming lightweight status...

 

Wallyford saftey net? Handy!

[Japan Jambo]

Halfway through third keg, had the machine about 1 month 🙂

[Craig_]

Bought 11 kegs this year, though in my defence I have also ploughed through a decent amount of red wine and whisky, just to make sure I'm getting all my vitamins!

Thought it would be a great addition, always nice to see more IPA'S on the PD.

But compared  to Goose, drunken sailor and the fantastic Jaipur. 

 

Its a bit meh..🙃 as unpunk as punk can get 🙂

[jambo89]

I’ve returned 22 kegs so far and another 3 empties in the house. I had the machine since April. Waiting for the most recent ones to be credited before I order another 3 and want to try the Xmas / seasonal ones. Anyone recommend which ones to get? Thinking the Leffe Xmas one and maybe the Punk but not sure if the 3rd keg?

I’ve got a keg in the garage I’ve not tried yet, as tott mentioned, it has gone through changes from the original version and it’s not as good as it was compared with other IPAs

Leffe Noel for me is one of the best around.....closely followed by the Frankie Royal

Will be ordering both soon

Anyone doing the Big Three On The PD this Christmas? Triple Karmeliet, Kwak and Leffe Rituel.  Go on, ruin your relationships in your household!  Worryingly all three are absolutely superb beers and dangerously skullable. 

[Japan Jambo]

anyone have a code, need to order reinforcements!!?

[Dazo]

The usual 15% off still works as far as I’m aware. 

[Japan Jambo]

15PDKT - thx Dazo, it did. I'd tried the two referral codes and they bombed so I thought I was out of luck.

[jack D and coke]

Aldi have them as well now….

the referrals only work for buying a machine - to be fair, it’s cheaper in Costco when they have them

I've eventually picked up a perfect draft. Are there any shops in West Edinburgh that do kegs? I want to pick one up before my beerhawk kegs arrive

I think the only place near Edinburgh is the day today shop in Wallyford. Great selection in there but it is a bit out the way.

Keg Mart in Whitburn have probably the biggest selection west of Edinburgh.

Two mins from  the Heartlands junction as well.

Popped into Keg Mart in Whitburn, decent selection and happily took in my 11 keg returns. 😀

[kevmacd]

Day Today shop in Salamander Place has loads

[Japan Jambo]

Very much enjoyed the Punk btw, another keg that has a leak in it though. 🙂

Aye. Buying a beer dispenser and a pizza oven during lockdown has probably killed any hopes I had of winning the Mr Scotland title. (if there's such a thing)

im glad i did not get a PD as i would end up drinking too much, the pizza oven was a worthwhile purchase

Anyone else had problems returning empties to BeerHawk for the Perfect Draft?

 

Just had a no show twice in a row, not great for my first return!!

Aye, first few went fine then the next time I tracked the Yodel driver to my street, watched him make a delivery over the road, then as he drove off into the distance I got a notification to say that he hadn't had an answer at my door. I was raging.

[Locky]

Times like this I really miss my machine.

I've had a couple of missed collections before. They did mention it would be a busy time and Yodel deliveries might be affected, So try booking a pick-up for next week. Failing that, you'll have to drop it off at one of the participating shops like I did when that happened to me.

[DarthVodka]

I normally take mine back to a shop. 
 

sometimes a different yodel driver will pick up than deliver…makes no sense to me, but going by the photos online, yodel look like they have a massive backlog

I always use collect+ who use yodel anyway but had a couple of parcels disappear from yodel tracking. Contact Beerhawk customer services via online chat and they instantly credited my account. Yodel are a shambles at the best of times.

I'm sure it's been asked before on here, but thinking of getting one for the family holiday home in Spain. Where could I order a machine abroad and what about purchasing the kegs? I remeber seeing somewhere that the kegs are actually cheaper in Europe, but would'nt know where to start.

[Japan Jambo]

I have a 15% discount referral code for anyone interested in getting onboard the perfect draft happy bus. Full disclosure I also get free beer if you sign up...
