Then they might consider ordering larger casks, kilderkins instead of firkins.

But they only have firkin room.

They may be using pins rather than firkins, which means they are getting a rapid turnover. With the beer moving fast it is likely to remain in good condition throughout the life of the cask. Good thing.

I'm sure it's just a small teething problem in getting to understand your customer flow and beer throughput.

It is great news for a new business to be able to sell so much stock so quickly and they do keep a good pint so I'm happy to wait for a short while if the beers aren't quite ready.

Yes, patience is a virtue.

I've heard of pubs with a slow turnover resorting to pins but don't know of any.
I was thinking of several years ago being shown the cellar of a well known pub in Burton that wouldn't cope if their best selling beer was in less than barrels. And I remember fifty years ago when the third biggest brewer for Stafford routinely delivered hogsheads.

30 years ago there was a GBG pub with 7 handpumps that used pins and had a tremendous turnover, several hundred different beers in a year.

I had to do a quick Google search to remind myself of the beer barrel hierarchy.

Thanks, although offering several hundred different beers in a year isn't quite the same as trying to sell a cask in about three days.
