Enjoy £1.91 pints at home with £100 off 'pub-quality' draught beer taps
Brits can bring the pub home in time for the new Premier League season as Beerwulf offers almost 20% off its draught bundles, which work out at only £1.91 per pint with select kegs Brits can enjoy fresh, pub-quality beer at home as Beerwulf slashes the price of its home pour systems. The Heineken-backed brand is knocking £100 off its Blade Starter Packs in a summer sale that runs until July 31. The Blade is a countertop beer draught system that allows users to pour a chilled, 'pub quality' beer from the comfort of home. The device can be used anywhere with a countertop and power source, which enables the beer to stay chilled at the optimum 2C. Beerwulf says the beer can stay fresh for 30 days, with a choice of 8L kegs available filled with brands including Heineken, Birra Moretti and Cruzcampo. Shoppers can also pick up extra keg bundles with the likes of Amstel, Tiger and Red Stripe, plus German wheat beers such as Edelweiss. Each keg contains roughly 14 pints, meaning select kegs such as Heineken Silver 8L can provide pints worth only £2.46 – or £1.91 for the alcohol-free Heineken 0.0 8L. Prices for the Blade starter pack vary depending on the choice of beer, with the cheapest being the Blade Heineken Starter Pack at £406.90, down from £506.90. Other options include the Blade Birra Moretti Starter Pack at £408.90 and Blade Cruzcampo Starter Pack at £409.90. The discount equates to almost 20%, but shoppers can also keep costs down by opting for a refurbished model from £312.90. The deals are ideal for elevating a summer BBQ and come just in time for the start of the new football season, with the Premier League kicking off on August 15. Beerwulf isn't the only brand cutting its prices this summer, with rival brand PerfectDraft reducing its own draught systems, including the PerfectDraft San Miguel Especial Starter Bundle (£199) and PerfectDraft Pro Stella Artois Starter Bundle (£329). Pub-style beers have grown more popular in recent years with the launch of products like the Guinness Nitrosurge, a portable pouring gadget that attaches to specially designed cans to deliver smooth Guinness anywhere. But the Beerwulf Blade has been winning over beer fans, with the brand racking up a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot. One Blade user said: 'Quite simply amazing. The Blade is not only fantastic to look at, the build quality is super, and the quality of the beer poured is the same, if not better than an actual beer from a pub or bar.' Another said: 'A superb beer machine and much better than PerfectDraft in my opinion. Beerwulf is superior as the gas applied is significantly better. "There were many kegs from PerfectDraft that had problems with CO2 so we decided to buy Beerwulf. I was very pleased.' Some Beerwulf Blade users would prefer a larger variety of beers, as this review said: 'Not enough offers on Blade Kegs compared to PerfectDraft. Would like to see more offers and different lagers. Maybe Stella Unfiltered.' 'Great service, great product. Blade superb, easy set up, easy change of kegs, easy to use. By the third pint I had it perfect. Overall great product, would highly recommend."

David Beckham grabs spotlight at Wimbledon with one handed PerfectDraft stunt despite hand injury (Image Via Getty) On a bright July afternoon at Wimbledon, football star David Beckham caught everyone's attention but not for a goal. He was enjoying a perfect pint, one-handed. Fans saw him sip from a Stella Artois poured by a home draught system called PerfectDraft. This strange but fun scene happened at Centre Court. David Beckham looked relaxed, his right wrist bandaged after a recent hospital visit. What was he doing at the tournament and why the bandage? What PerfectDraft is as David Beckham teams up with Stella Artois to bring pub quality beer home David Beckham was part of a new ad campaign for PerfectDraft. This brand lets people pour pub-style beer at home using a small machine. David Beckham teamed up with Stella Artois and PerfectDraft to show fans how easy it is to pour a perfect pint at home. In the ad, Beckham said: 'It is great to be able to pour my own pint of pub quality Stella Artois beer at home with PerfectDraft'. The campaign launched in the UK in late 2024, and now featured at Wimbledon as part of Stella Artois's sponsorship of the tennis tournament. David Beckham posed with a keg, pouring beer with only one hand, a nod to his bandaged wrist and his sense of humour. 30% of Brits now call draught machines essential for home entertainment, though many still don't know about PerfectDraft: only 16% had heard of it by late 2024. With David Beckham in the ad, the brand hopes to spread the word. Also Read: Why Are So Many Celebrities Rushing To Wimbledon 2025 In London?

The Sub review: how does Beerwulf's compact beer tap perform?
LET'S be real, beer from a can or a bottle just isn't as good as a pint from the pub. It is time that we introduced: The Sub. You can get a draught pint without having to leave your home when this trusty contraption's around. We reviewed The Sub to see if it's worth spending a little more for a pub-quality pint on your sofa. IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Sub is no longer available for purchase Unfortunately, The Sub beer dispenser from Beerwulf has been discontinued and is no longer available for sale. If you're looking for alternatives to enjoy draught beer at home, there are several other options on the market worth considering. For those who enjoyed The Sub's compact design and ease of use, you might want to check out similar products such as the PerfectDraft systems or other home beer dispensers. Overall rating: 3.5/5 Pros Pours great pints Loads of different beers to choose from Looks good Cons More expensive than buying beer from shops Noisy when pouring Small size limits its usage The Sub review: quick summary When we tested The Sub we loved being able to quickly and easily pour draught pints at home. It's a nice reward on a Friday after a long week at work and feels a bit more special than picking up a six-pack from the shop on the way home. And, at £125, it's not obscenely expensive, especially if a couple of you are clubbing together to buy it as a gift. As an added bonus, The Sub looks pretty stylish on the side at home and won't spoil your kitchen aesthetic. On the downside, it's more expensive than buying cans from the off-license, it's a little noisy when it pours and it's really designed for individual use rather than large groups. If money was no object, we'd prefer to have a PerfectDraft (read our PerfectDraft Beer Dispenser review and PerfectDraft Pro review here), but since prices for those start at around £249, The Sub is a good budget option. We think The Sub is a great gift for a beer lover, especially since there are loads of different beers to try, along with the old favourites. The Sub review: full review We were pretty excited when we got our hands on The Sub from Beerwulf, which promises pub-quality pints from the comfort of your own home. The Sub is a slick bit of kit that doesn't look out of place on your kitchen side, and with its 30cm footprint, it doesn't take up too much space. It's pretty easy to get going: just insert a two-litre keg (from a range of about 40 on the website), fiddle around with some piping and The Sub will begin chilling your beer. If you've kept your mini-kegs in the fridge first, they'll be ready to drink in an hour or two. If they're at room temperature it'll be a while longer as The Sub chills your kegs to perfect drinking temperature. Once the light goes green, you're good to go. We've seen a few people around the web complaining that The Sub produces too much foam, which is something we battled with initially. But if you follow the instructions (clear the nozzle when you first start pouring and then open the tap fully when you're pulling pints) it's a pretty easy solve. 1 However, there are a couple of downsides to The Sub. For starters, it's certainly more expensive than buying your beer at the supermarket as it'll set you back over £100 if you buy it with kegs. It also takes quite a long time to chill and pressurise your mini-kegs once you've placed them inside, which means you're probably waiting a couple of hours between pints when you do a keg change. This basically rules out The Sub as a useful gadget for entertaining if you're planning on drinking more than two litres. Finally, it's a little noisy when you pull pints and it hums for about 20 seconds after you've finished pouring. The Sub review: the verdict For its price, we really like The Sub. It does what it's supposed to and it gives you an excuse to sample beers you wouldn't normally try. While there are better beer dispensers out there you can buy for your home, there's none that can beat The Sub on price and we'd gladly break ours out for special occasions going forwards. Remember, The Sub is no longer available for purchase. For current beer dispenser options, check out our best beer dispensers roundup for alternatives that are still on the market. Do you have to plug in Beerwulf Sub? The beer tap must be plugged in at least an hour before the desired serve time. It is ready to use when the light turns green. The instructions are easy to follow and there's also a handy video to explain the set up process. What are some alternatives to Beerwulf's Sub machine? If you want to try something else out, then there are many alternatives that do the same job as Beerwulf. Here are some other designs from well-known brands on the market:

I tried the beer machine that lets you pull your own pints at home - here's my verdict
The PerfectDraft beer machine is a home beer dispenser that chills and serves beer straight from six-litre kegs - the stylish, matte black machine keeps beer consistently chilled at an ideal 3°C and maintains freshness for up to 30 days. With Father's Day around the corner, selecting a present that scores high on thoughtfulness and utility can be quite the conundrum. An ideal choice is the PerfectDraft beer machine – the ultimate treat for ale aficionados who long for a bar-quality brew at home. Football legend David Beckham, ambassador for PerfectDraft, said of the product: "It is great to be able to pour my own pint of pub quality Stella Artois beer at home with PerfectDraft," Essentially, this device is a domestic beer tap, delivering six-litre kegs of beer freshly chilled to an optimal 3°C, preserving its taste and fizz for as much as 30 days. I had the pleasure of testing the PerfectDraft Pro model alongside my husband, who enjoys nothing more than a chilled pint whilst watching football. Upon unboxing, the luxurious design was instantly apparent. The unit arrived complete with a Stella Artois keg and bespoke glasses, though one can choose from an array of over 40 types of kegs featuring top brands such as Peroni, San Miguel, Kopparberg, and Camden Hells. The setup process was incredibly straightforward, and when it came time to serve, the beer poured flawlessly. According to the Express, the Stella Artois had a delectably creamy head, echoing a top-notch pub draft, reports the Mirror. Every glass was served ice-cold, refreshingly crisp, and satisfyingly bubbly, with intuitive design features that made the experience all the more enjoyable. Clear LED indicators on the device provide an accurate update on when your beer is perfectly chilled and when it's time for a refill, making it a breeze to switch out an empty keg. The pro model even includes an app that lets you control the keg's temperature and cooling cycle from 0°C to 12°C without having to leave your cosy spot on the settee. Moreover, there's a complimentary empty keg return scheme available, offering £5 of credit for each returned keg. This gadget would be perfect for weekend BBQs, football watch parties or even for staycation holidays, as long as there's ample room in the car. However, there are a couple of factors to bear in mind. Firstly, its size - it's larger than expected, standing at 37.6cm tall and weighing over 8kg, so careful planning is needed when deciding where to situate it in your home. Secondly, it takes approximately 12 hours for the keg to reach the ideal drinking temperature, meaning spontaneous pint cravings can't be instantly satisfied. Despite these minor drawbacks, the PerfectDraft beer machine remains a top-tier Father's Day gift choice. It's practical, stylish, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a quality pint at home. Just ensure you've measured your available space and planned your pint time! PerfectDraft machines are currently on sale for Father's Day, starting from £159 (down from £275), with kegs priced between £30 and £42. The PerfectDraft return keg initiative is raising the stakes, providing a fantastic motivation for beer enthusiasts to go green. By simply returning empty PerfectDraft kegs to designated collection points, either by dropping them off in-store or arranging a home collection, customers are rewarded with £5 in "Beer Tokens", redeemable against their next purchase. Returns can also be made at Majestic stores. Simply visit any participating Majestic outlet with your 6L Perfect Draft kegs and receive an instant £5 credit towards your next keg. Please note, however, that this savings benefit is exclusive to one location and cannot be transferred.
