Yeah, nice big fat shot of Director's bitter.

Lol, far more likely to get used than the usual coffee making ornament.

Love the idea, but that looks like far too much hard work.

How about a Beertender?

When I worked for Cornelius I lucky enough to get free access to a lot of stuff ripped out for overhaul. Managed to get a four line cooler tap in the dining room. Biggest problem is the sourcing decent casks and air (especially as at that time I wasn't driving).

Get friendly with your landlord and its a great way for cheap booze!

Always sounds like a great idea to have a plumbed in tap, but from what I've heard the cleaning/maintenance means it's not really worth it.

£1300 buys a lot of beer.

I particularly enjoyed this quote from the manual!

Instructions said:

Important: Beer is not a drink for children. Children should only have access to the dispenser under the strict supervision of their parents or responsible adults.

Why not just get a box? Kegs are okay, but go off unless you use them quick enough. A small keg is 50 pints whereas a polypin is 18 and much more manageable.

Ok for lager drinkers But no way is that any good for proper bitter and real ale, it only works on kegged stuff which, as we all know, is pressurised and dead. Just get a poly-pin or half pin of something nice!

This sounds like hard work:

Beer will keep for approximately 8 days after a new keg has been opened. However this can differ per brand and type of beer. Check for accurate durability after
opening the keg with your keg supplier.
Beer quickly deteriorates, posing a hazard (bacteria develop), so the dispenser should be washed and disinfected regularly. This should preferably be done every
time the keg is changed or at least every 15 days.
A dispenser with stale beer residues can smell unpleasant and give the beer an unpleasant taste. The beer in a new keg, connected to a dirty dispenser, is quickly
contaminated if bacteria are present, and even if a new keg is connected, the beer acquires an unpleasant taste. Carefully follow the instructions for “washing and
disinfecting the dispenser” .
