It depends on the size of the keg you order:

288 pints = 1 barrel
144 pints = 1 kilderkin
72 pints = 1 firkin

An old imperial barrel was equivalent to just under 240 pints and I believe you can also get 40 pint barrels for parties and such from breweries.

I was trying to be kind:p A barrel is 36 gallons=288 pints I just wish Ken had been my stock taker:D I would be typing this from Bermuda.:p:D

firkin Ken, this is a family site you know:D

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

I think you'll find that most breweries nowadays tend to use Aluminium or steel barrels which are usually 50 ltr or 30 ltr. I know for a fact that S&N, Belhaven, Guinness & Bulmers do, this just makes it easier for export due to the Europeans & their weights & measures rulings.

Jaysay A pub you did not mention on a previous page the Montague arms was the best of the lot okay it was just off the old kent road but only by 100 yards and from taylors old fish and chip transport digs on the old kent road 5minutes walk If you were not there before 7oclock you would not get a seat the blind pete london trio provided the music always two strippers and the cockney comedian compere jimmy who taught jim davidison how to tell a joke great nights now only a memory ps where you at shopfitters the same time as Alan luke

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

Your right keith the Montague arms was a stand alone pub right on the bus route, it was the only building left standing as all the surrounding houses had been demolished, used to go in the Monty any Thursday, Friday, or Saturday if I was working the South London run for Shopfitters. They called the Landlord Creeping Jesus, because of his long hair which was usually all the colours of the rainbow, he was also the Drummer, along with Peter London on Moog and Jimmy Jones Singer Comedian Compare. I still have I vinyl LP recoded live at the Monty. When it eventually closed they three of them moved to a night club somewhere in Kent called the King and Queen, can't think which town it was in may have been Canterbury but not sure. Can't remember Alan Luke though Keith, not by name anyway

Sorry about that, but 11 years of running pub quizzes has left me full of useless trivia. It's also left me full of real ale but I prefer to think of that as 'research'.

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

If your into research you'll have to join the lads at the Railway, now they are a crack research team:D

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

The voice of experience there. It is very educational.

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

But what is the research ?? how many pints before English becomes your second language ?? ;) Or how many pints before you can converse fluidly in Gibberishanese/ Boloxnian (both very similar in aspect though !) :drink: :wacko8: Also how many years study this involves & can you get subsidies ??:D

Re: Two More Pubs Close
 

So it's like an open university then ?? :D just walk in off the street & assist with the research, now that's the kind of further education I can get on with :alc:
