Not yet, its all so new that even we don't have the info yet. Muntons will reveal all in Galway on Saturday. All we can say for now is that:
- the new tap-a draft minikegs have been redesigned to withstand a lot more pressure than the old ones,
- a set of 4 minikegs (for 20 litres of beer) including a tap-a draft will cost about the same as a conventional plastic keg. Kinda cool because they will easily fit in your fridge,
- Muntons will clarify just how you can use the new system to brew a huge range of their all malt quality beers.

We have sampled beers from the new system, and they are superb.

Today was a massive success, and Muntons are very happy.

They did worldwide firsts here in Ireland, launching the new iBrew Micro Winerery starter kits, and the Stark Naked pure grape juicee wine kits . . . you don't even add water!

Its great news and consolidates our position as their newest wholesale agents.

Its also great for the Irish consumer, as we will see Muntons RRPs here fall into line with UK pricing over the coming months.

Well worth the trip to save a few bob and Linda gave me some real good pointers about their higher end kits and their links with craft breweries in the UK.

Its all up on the website now:

The wine starter kit is about a fiver cheaper here than it will be in the UK (it hasn't been launched there yet).

Comments would be much appreciated as per usual.
