I am a fan of beer machines at home. The popularity of machines that offer pub-standard pints at home spiked during lockdown and has continued to rise as manufacturers launch more and updated beer machines.
The range of beer machines to use at home is extensive. At the bottom of the range are the pourers that fit cans or bottles you can buy in any supermarket or off license. The £40 cooling beer tower is ideal for those who want something that looks good and can be used at parties.
For something that offers drinks a bit closer to a pub-standard pint the BeerWulf Sub is an excellent choice. At £170 it is one of the cheaper options on the market and can fit mini 'Subs' that pour a little under four pints. I have used a Sub for a couple of years and find it to be ideal for the odd drink at home. The range of Subs available is excellent and service and delivery is superb.
However, the Sub does stumble when it comes to entertaining. The smaller Subs are limited in size and that means you will need some fridge space to cool replacements if you have a few people all using the machine at the same time. Larger machines with bigger kegs offer better options here and promise pints that are even closer to those that you get at the pub.
