Getting a cask of Timothy Taylor's

[mattdaniels]

Do they sell to the general public? Is it a case of phoning up the sales line and asking to buy a cask? What else would I need in order to serve it - a stand and a pump? Anything else? Are these hire-able ?

How long do you think it will take to drink? It goes off very quickly. The brewer I was talking to the other day was recommending a mini pin to me and said the 2nd pint is the best, and it goes down hill from there.

What's the definition of "very quickl" in this case?

If you are talking about a proper steel barrel and associated pump then yes, its all hireable.

Set up properly, the shelf life should as per a pub.

No need for a pump, tap and spile is easy.

Simple choice, sedimented or bright. Bright beer is easiest, the brewery will filter it, all you do is prop the barrel up on a study table, and after a couple of hammer whacks....you are ready to go. Best within 24 hours...but should last a few days.

Sedimented needs 24 hours to settle, but probably lasts at least a week.

keg does not equal cask

keg = fizzy piss

cask = the real deal

rent-a-keg is just the website URL. They do warm brown beer (including TT's) as well as the fizzy stuff.
