Who uses Tap'in for delivery?
Tap'in works for any brewery that wants reliable, professional delivery into London and South East venues without the overhead of managing it themselves.
Whether you brew outside London and want a cost-effective route in, or you are based in London but would rather focus on brewing than logistics, Tap'in removes the complexity so you can grow.
- Breweries outside London wanting a reliable, cost-effective route into the city
- London breweries that want to focus on brewing, not running a delivery fleet
- Breweries without the space or infrastructure to store and distribute at scale
- Anyone who has had van breakdowns cause missed venue deliveries
- Breweries wanting to expand their venue count without adding drivers or vehicles
- Producers who want to keep direct venue relationships, not hand them to a wholesaler
How the service works
One delivery from you. We handle storage, keg tracking and venue delivery from there.
You deliver a full load to us
Drop your kegs, bottles or cans to our warehouse in Erith, DA18, 5 miles from East London. One trip, fully loaded. We log everything on our warehouse management system so you can see your stock levels at any time.
One trip from youWe store and track your stock
Your product sits in our dedicated drinks warehouse. You have full visibility of what we hold at all times. We also collect your empty kegs from venues when we deliver, so they come back to you faster and fewer go missing.
Kegs tracked and returnedWe deliver to your venues, in your name
Our vans go into London every day, and into the Home Counties, Brighton and Kent twice a week. We deliver under your brand. Your venue relationships stay entirely yours. We are invisible to your customers.

Why breweries use Tap'in instead of running their own fleet
Running your own delivery vans means paying for drivers, insurance, fuel and maintenance whether your order book is full or quiet. When a van breaks down, your venues do not get their delivery.
With national insurance and fuel costs rising, the economics of an in-house fleet are harder to justify every year. Tap'in lets you make one efficient, fully-loaded drop to us, and we do the rest.
What breweries say about Tap'in
"We were in a difficult position when our logistics provider went into sudden administration. Dan and the team at Tap'in were fantastic in helping us transition over and have shown a great deal of professionalism, flexibility and dexterity in helping us achieve our business goals here in the UK, whilst also adapting to our changing needs."
- Cale Watts, Stone & Wood Brewing Co.
Case studies
As Gipsy Hill grew, managing storage, picking and daily delivery in-house had become a business in itself, diverting attention and cost away from brewing. Tap'in took over their full London logistics operation, handling storage, order processing and next-day venue delivery.
Lost & Grounded were servicing London from their brewery in Bristol, with costly runs that made direct venue growth difficult. They needed a London-based partner to store, pick and deliver on their behalf so they could build venue relationships without the overhead.
Need keg washing too?
Many of our brewery clients also use our integrated keg washing service. When we collect your empty kegs from venues, we clean them to the correct pressure and standard at our Erith site and return them ready to fill, removing another fixed cost and logistics headache from your operation.
