Clean kegs, back in circulation, faster
We are the only independent keg washing facility in the South East, 5 miles from East London. We collect your empties, wash and sterilise them, and get them back to you ready to fill. Fewer go missing. Turnaround is quicker. You get back to brewing.
Most breweries don't add up what kegs are really costing them
Every month, our drivers visit over 1,000 London venues. The most common thing they find in cellars? Kegs that have not moved in weeks. Kegs belonging to breweries that have no idea where they are.
Whether you own your kegs or rent them, slow turnaround costs you money: in leasing fees, lost assets, and delayed production. Keg washing is part of that same problem. The faster your kegs are cleaned and back in your hands, the lower that cost.
We are built around speed, location and flexibility. No contracts. No fixed costs. Just clean kegs, back in your hands, faster.
How the keg washing service works
Simple, flexible, and designed to keep your kegs moving.
Kegs come to us
If we deliver your beer to venues, we collect your empty kegs on the same run at no extra charge, it is included in the service. If you do not use our delivery service, we can arrange dedicated collection from venues across London and the South East (pricing depends on volume and location, speak to us), or you can send kegs directly to our Erith site.
Flexible collectionWe wash and sterilise
Every keg is cleaned and sterilised to the correct pressure and standard. We track every keg through the process so you always know what we have in and what is ready to go.
State-of-the-art equipmentClean kegs back to you
Washed, sterilised and ready to refill. We return them to your brewery, or hold them at our Erith warehouse ready for your next delivery run.
Ready to refillWhich situation sounds like yours?
We work with breweries in all kinds of situations. Find yours below.
"We're thinking about buying our own kegs, but we don't have a keg washer."
Buying kegs makes sense for many growing breweries. But there is a problem most people do not think about early enough: how do you keep them clean? A keg washing machine is a serious upfront cost, and that is before you factor in the space, staff time, water and maintenance. Talk to us before you commit. We can help you work out whether outsourcing makes more sense for where you are right now.
Speak to us before you invest"We have a washer, but we're at capacity during peak periods."
You have invested in doing it in-house, and most of the time that works. But two things can catch you out: a sudden spike in demand and a breakdown. When your washer goes down or you are running behind, your production does not stop to wait. We already handle the overspill for some of the busiest keg operations in the region. We are not asking you to change what works. Just have us there for when it does not.
Ask about overflow support"We rent kegs, and washing is either our problem or an extra cost."
If you rent kegs, washing is either your problem or an extra charge on your rental bill. Either way, it is a cost. And if your empties are sitting in London venues waiting to be collected, they are not back in production where they need to be. We collect from venues across London and the South East and get your kegs back to you clean and ready to fill.
Find out if we can reduce your costs"We're growing and don't want fixed costs we can't flex."
Every fixed cost sits on your books whether you are busy or not. A keg washer you bought for peak season does nothing in January. We are not asking you to outsource everything. Just use us when it makes sense: for busy periods, when you are stretched, or when you just want to focus on brewing and hand the washing off to someone else. No contract, no monthly cost, no strings when things are quiet.
Talk to us about flexible keg washingWhy use Tap'in for keg washing
We did not plan to offer keg washing. It came from our drivers visiting hundreds of London venues every week and finding the same thing in every cellar: stacks of empties that nobody had collected. Kegs costing their owners money while they sat there.
Because we are already running the delivery network, collecting your empties on the same run costs us almost nothing extra. That is why we can offer a faster, simpler collection and wash service than most people expect.
