We order party pigs from them every year at least at Christmas. The deposit is expensive but it makes sense. We still have our party pig and its been almost a year. As long as you bring it back in good shape you can either get your deposit back or trade for a new party pig and just pay for the beer.
When picking a beer for your get together the staff are knowledgeable and will let you try them first. The velvet fog is a popular pick and seems to please the masses. You don't get much better than fresh brewed beer in your own mini kegs.
The pub also has some not bad food. The last five years that we have ordered beer from them I have picked up a meal to go or we ate in. The food was pretty good for pub food and the staff was always very friendly.
I look forward to picking up our beer this year. If you are having a new years eve party or a holiday get together or even just a party with friends than pick up a part pig. Your friends will thank you.
