Michael
Hired a keg from Boss Bar and it was awesome. Flexible packages meant that there was something that worked perfectly for my event and Matt made it all go very smoothly. Ice cold tap beer is simply unbeatable. Would 100% recommend!

Don't look anywhere else for your mobile bar hire! Matt's service was A1 - very friendly and professional to deal with. I would have given 6 stars if I could! Highly recommended

We booked Boss Bar Hire for our wedding in Monbulk in April 2023. They were fantastic to work with, great communication and flexible with any changes in the lead up. Their staff on the night were lovely as well. Would absolutely hire them again!

What equipment do I need to tap a keg?- A keg coupler - A keg tapping system - A gas bottle View our keg tapping equipment options here. All commercial kegs require a keg coupler which is a special fitting used for attaching and detaching the keg. The coupler connects to the top of the keg, and you connect the gas line from your gas bottle as well as the beer line from your system to it - this lets the beer leave the keg! Different breweries use different types of kegs, and each type requires a specific coupler. All of our equipment hires include all of the equipment you need to dispense. If you are hiring the keg by itself and you aren't sure what coupler you need please let us know and we will be happy to help!
