Perfect Draft Edinburgh

Fresh draught beer at home has never been easier. PerfectDraft brings pub-quality pints into your kitchen with 6-litre kegs and a countertop machine, giving you beautifully chilled beer without the hassle of a full home bar. We keep a wide range of kegs in stock, offer free local delivery across Edinburgh, and we'll even collect your empty kegs and refund the deposit.

Explore More of Our Collection

PerfectDraft brings the pub-style draught beer experience into the home, using chilled 6 litre kegs and countertop machines designed to pour fresh beer on tap without needing a full commercial bar setup. Developed in partnership with Philips and AB InBev, the system keeps beer chilled to around 3°C while maintaining freshness for up to 30 days after tapping, helping create a consistently cold and properly carbonated draught pour at home.

The system has become especially popular for drinkers looking for a more social and pub-like beer experience, whether for parties, weekends, sporting events or simply enjoying fresh draught beer from the kitchen or home bar. Compared with cans and bottles, PerfectDraft offers fuller pours, colder serving temperatures and beer served directly from keg.

Our PerfectDraft range focuses on fresh kegs, seasonal releases and crowd favourites across lager, IPA, Belgian beer, stout and cider. Alongside major breweries, the collection also includes independent producers and more modern craft beer styles, helping broaden the range beyond classic pub lager alone.

Expect crisp continental lager, hop-forward pale ale and IPA, rich stout and Belgian classics alongside rotating seasonal releases and limited keg drops. Whether you're stocking up for a gathering, building a home draught setup or simply after fresher pints at home, PerfectDraft remains one of the easiest and most accessible ways to enjoy draught beer outside the pub.
