What size beer keg will fit into a BARFLY Fridge?
There are two standard sizes that fit into a Barfly Beer fridge- either a 20 or 30 litre tall (vertical). Micro breweries make only 30 litre sizes. Big beer companies such as Molson or Labatt's makes a 20 litre tall. When you come see us, we can provide a list of local beer companies that sell the above sizes.

Can we provide our own soft drinks, alcohol, beer, keg, wine, champagne, etc.?
No, is the short answer but once people understand the legal liabilities associated with serving liquor, they become perfectly happy having someone else assume that responsibility. Prestwick maintains a valid Indiana State Liquor License, employs experienced, licensed bar tenders, and has the appropriate liability insurance to protect you and us.

Can you dye the beer in my keg green for St. Patrick's day?
No. The PLCB Liquor Code, specifically Section 492.17, prohibits "any person, to fortify, adulterate, contaminate, or in any wise to change the character or purity of, the malt or brewed beverages from that as originally marketed by the manufacturer at the place of manufacture. " Since the beer does not come from the brewery as green, we are prohibited by law from changing it. The exact text of the statute can be found here.
