Upcoming Lindr price increases.

Lindr Soudek 50 triple tap

Upcoming Lindr price increases – we have just learnt that Lindr are set to increase all product prices by 10%, effective 1st January 2022. This is as a result of global increases in material, energy and transport costs.

In addition, the following products will be discontinued:

  • Soudek 30/K
  • Soudek 50/K (Both double and triple tap versions)
  • Pygmy 20/K
  • AS160 4 Line

There is still limited stock available of the Pygmy 20/K and Soudek 50/K, please let us know if you are interested in these as soon as possible.

Price increases are always difficult but Lindr are committed to ensuring the quality of their products and reinvesting for the future.

Lindr price increase and availability

Dear all,

We have just been informed that Lindr have increased all prices by 5% with immediate effect. Sadly we are unable to absorb the increase and have had to put our prices up accordingly. We are pleased to say that all existing unfulfilled orders and quotes will be honoured at the old prices.

Price increases are never welcome and we are, of course, sorry to pass the increase on especially at this difficult time. The increases are largely down to the significant increase in shipping costs post Brexit.

Lindr are also experiencing significant global demand for their products with models including the 25/K Exclusive twin tap and the 70/K experiencing severe stock shortages. Lindr have increased capacity, but it will be several weeks before these models will be back in stock, we can only apologies for the delay.

We will continue to monitor stock levels and make you aware of any impending model shortages as soon as we are aware. We know that the 55/K is likely to be in short supply soon.

Once again we can only apologise for the short notice and would like to thank you all for your continued custom and support, as a small business it is very much appreciated.

Dates for Christmas

Last shipping date for all products is Tuesday 22nd Dec for orders placed up to 14:00 on Monday 21st Dec

Any orders placed after 14:00 on 21 Dec will be shipped on 30 Dec – delivery will not be possible until 4/5 Jan owing to holidays etc.

Last date for collection of kegs is Wednesday 23rd Dec – subject to availability.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and New Year.

Many thanks for your custom, as a small business it is very much appreciated!

We are open!

Key Kegs

Key Keg Lager, cider and IPA – we are slowly adding a wider range of beers in Key Kegs to the site. The benefit of the Key Keg beer is that it lasts for 30 days once opened and does not need gas. They are ideal for the Lindr portable dispenser’s inbuilt air compressor. We also have a range of Key Keg Frizzante, wine and cocktails.

Plus they are much cheaper to ship than a normal metal keg – at only £5! Please have a look at the list below and contact us if you would like to order. Availability varies by product.
