Beer Tap Hire & Draught Systems
Beer tap hire for events: draught systems with taps, gas, beer lines, cooling and couplers. Ideal for weddings, festivals, corporate events and private parties. Midlands-based, covering most of England and Wales.
What is Draught System Hire?
Draught system hire provides the dispense equipment needed to serve beer, cider or cold brew from kegs. If you already have kegs or want to source your own, we supply the taps, gas, lines, couplers and cooling. If you need everything together, our keg hire service bundles kegs with the full draught system.
Our draught systems are suited to weddings, festivals, corporate events, private parties and pop-up bars. We deliver, set up and collect. We supply the correct couplers for your beer brand (S-Type, G-Type, A-Type, D-Type) and the right gas — CO2 for lagers and ciders, mixed gas for ales and stouts.
Who It's For
- Event organisers who have their own kegs and need dispense equipment
- Venues running temporary bars or pop-ups
- Wedding couples and private party hosts who want beer on tap
- Corporate events and festival organisers

Each draught system hire includes everything needed to serve from kegs
Beer Taps & Dispense
Professional font taps, flow controls and drip trays. Single or multi-line setups depending on your keg count.
Gas & Regulators
CO2 or mixed gas cylinders, regulators and tubing. We match the gas to your beer style for correct carbonation.
Beer Lines & Couplers
Food-grade beer lines and the correct keg couplers for your brands. See our keg coupler guide for reference.
Cooling
Flash coolers and python lines are the usual event kit. Glycol chillers or cold plates where the run or volume needs them. See keg cooling.
Delivery & Collection
We deliver, set up and collect. Setup includes pressure checks and a test pour to ensure everything works.
Setup & Support
Full installation at your venue. We show you how to operate the system and are available during your event if needed.
Beer pump hire
Most people searching for a beer pump want a tap (font) system for kegs, which is what this page covers. We hire the taps, gas, lines, couplers and cooling so you can pour from kegs you already have, or add keg hire if you need the beer as well.
We also hire hand pumps and beer engines for cask ale, as well as tap and font systems for kegs. For cooling cask ale, see cask cooling hire.
If you need kegs and the draught kit together, see keg hire.
