The Sub review: how does Beerwulf’s compact beer tap perform?
LET’S be real, beer from a can or a bottle just isn’t as good as a pint from the pub. It is time that we introduced: The Sub.
You can get a draught pint without having to leave your home when this trusty contraption’s around.
We reviewed The Sub to see if it’s worth spending a little more for a pub-quality pint on your sofa.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Sub is no longer available for purchase
Unfortunately, The Sub beer dispenser from Beerwulf has been discontinued and is no longer available for sale.
If you’re looking for alternatives to enjoy draught beer at home, there are several other options on the market worth considering. For those who enjoyed The Sub’s compact design and ease of use, you might want to check out similar products such as the PerfectDraft systems or other home beer dispensers.

Overall rating: 3.5/5
Pros
- Pours great pints
- Loads of different beers to choose from
- Looks good
Cons
- More expensive than buying beer from shops
- Noisy when pouring
- Small size limits its usage
The Sub review: quick summary
When we tested The Sub we loved being able to quickly and easily pour draught pints at home. It’s a nice reward on a Friday after a long week at work and feels a bit more special than picking up a six-pack from the shop on the way home.
And, at £125, it’s not obscenely expensive, especially if a couple of you are clubbing together to buy it as a gift.
As an added bonus, The Sub looks pretty stylish on the side at home and won’t spoil your kitchen aesthetic.
On the downside, it’s more expensive than buying cans from the off-license, it’s a little noisy when it pours and it’s really designed for individual use rather than large groups.
If money was no object, we’d prefer to have a PerfectDraft (read our PerfectDraft Beer Dispenser review and PerfectDraft Pro review here), but since prices for those start at around £249, The Sub is a good budget option.
We think The Sub is a great gift for a beer lover, especially since there are loads of different beers to try, along with the old favourites.

The Sub review: full review
We were pretty excited when we got our hands on The Sub from Beerwulf, which promises pub-quality pints from the comfort of your own home.
The Sub is a slick bit of kit that doesn’t look out of place on your kitchen side, and with its 30cm footprint, it doesn’t take up too much space.
It’s pretty easy to get going: just insert a two-litre keg (from a range of about 40 on the website), fiddle around with some piping and The Sub will begin chilling your beer.
If you’ve kept your mini-kegs in the fridge first, they’ll be ready to drink in an hour or two. If they’re at room temperature it’ll be a while longer as The Sub chills your kegs to perfect drinking temperature. Once the light goes green, you’re good to go.
We’ve seen a few people around the web complaining that The Sub produces too much foam, which is something we battled with initially. But if you follow the instructions (clear the nozzle when you first start pouring and then open the tap fully when you’re pulling pints) it’s a pretty easy solve.
However, there are a couple of downsides to The Sub. For starters, it’s certainly more expensive than buying your beer at the supermarket as it’ll set you back over £100 if you buy it with kegs.
It also takes quite a long time to chill and pressurise your mini-kegs once you’ve placed them inside, which means you’re probably waiting a couple of hours between pints when you do a keg change. This basically rules out The Sub as a useful gadget for entertaining if you’re planning on drinking more than two litres.
Finally, it’s a little noisy when you pull pints and it hums for about 20 seconds after you’ve finished pouring.
The Sub review: the verdict
For its price, we really like The Sub. It does what it’s supposed to and it gives you an excuse to sample beers you wouldn’t normally try.
While there are better beer dispensers out there you can buy for your home, there’s none that can beat The Sub on price and we’d gladly break ours out for special occasions going forwards.
Remember, The Sub is no longer available for purchase. For current beer dispenser options, check out our best beer dispensers roundup for alternatives that are still on the market.
Do you have to plug in Beerwulf Sub?
The beer tap must be plugged in at least an hour before the desired serve time. It is ready to use when the light turns green. The instructions are easy to follow and there’s also a handy video to explain the set up process.
What are some alternatives to Beerwulf’s Sub machine?
If you want to try something else out, then there are many alternatives that do the same job as Beerwulf.
Here are some other designs from well-known brands on the market:

Watch Wynne Evans’ FULL apology video backstage at Strictly after they ordered him to cut it short after ‘gropegate’
WYNNE Evans has released the FULL apology video he filmed backstage at Strictly, after he was ordered to cut it short following “gropegate”.
It comes just a day after Wynne, 53, accused the BBC of abandoning him in the wake of a series of controversies that erupted during and after his time on Strictly Come Dancing.
Today, Wynne has released his apology video in full, after he was accused of inappropriately touching professional dancer Katya Jones during rehearsals.
He claims he was told to cut the video by the BBC, and so fans never saw or heard the whole truth about what happened.
On This Morning yesterday, Wynne revealed him and Katya had planned the moment that caused such a stir, and she dragged him to the cameras as they stood in the gallery with Claudia Winkleman.
He said: “Katya said to me, right you put your hand on my waist, I’ll move it back we’ll see if anybody picks it up. And boy did they pick it up. She drags me saying, ‘let’s get down the front’.”
Admitting there had been errors made, he said: “I totally understand why people were upset by that and I apologise.
“I don’t want to sit here today coming across as a victim because I’m not — I’m naive.”
He admitted they saw the backlash online almost immediately and he insisted they make an apology video on social media that night.
“Katya says to me, ‘Have you seen what people are saying on Twitter, Instagram?’ …
“I’m sat in make-up afterwards and I go, ‘Oh my word this is terrible.’
“I say, ‘We need to make an apology video.’
“So we did — it was 50 seconds long.”
He claimed the BBC made them cut the video down, which he believed was the wrong decision.
“They said just make it ten seconds,” Wynne told the hosts. “So of course it turns into some sort of hostage style video.
“It was just a body language experiment that was picked up on.”
Now to prove he did in fact make a longer apology video, Wynne has released it.
The video features both him and Katya backstage at Strictly, addressing the backlash of “gropegate” and revealing the truth behind the incident.
In the video, Katya kicked things off and said: “Hello everyone. We felt the need to clarify something.
“We find it quite fascinating how people take time to look into in such detail every gesture, every look.”
Continuing Wynne said: “So we thought we’ll mess around. And we said, ‘Oh I’ll put my hand on your waist, you pretend to move it away and let’s see who notices it.’
“And now everybody thinks I’m a weirdo.
“But really I promise you I’m not. And we’re doing this high ten thing as well where she blanks me from a high ten.”
Katya then said: “It’s all sort of planned just to see….”
Wynne added: “…if anybody notices. And like lots of people noticed.”
Katya then continued: “But we need to clarify that it’s all just messing around.
“It’s quite funny but not. It’s not funny.”
Wynne agreed: “It’s not funny.”
Katya then clarified: “He’s not a creep.”
“I’m not,” Wynne replied, before Katya added: “But he’s a brilliant dancer.”
The video ended with Wynne, who said: “Thanks babes.”
Wynne captioned the video with: “The video that was too long for @bbcstrictly @bbccymruwales I think this tells it as it was.”
Fans flocked to share their sympathy for the star, with one saying: “Terrible the way you’ve been treated, Wynne. Stay strong.”
Another added: “This should have been shown in full!!!”
This one said: “Why didn’t they show us this – this almost destroyed you.”
The Sun has reached out to the BBC for a comment.
During Wynne’s This Morning interview, host Ben Shephard read out the following statement from the BBC: “For the avoidance of doubt, the video in question was filmed twice.
“All parties agreed at the time that the second more concise version would be better suited for social media.
“We know that people on social media have a very short attention span.”
SPEAKING OUT
Yesterday’s appearance on This Morning was Wynne’s first public TV appearance since the Strictly scandal erupted.
During the interview, the singer claimed he had not been contacted by the BBC after being axed from his Radio Wales show.
The corporation said he was offered a dedicated contact at the BBC and was offered “continued” mental health support since his contract concluded.
“I haven’t heard from the BBC since I got suspended, personally, they’ve only spoke to my lawyers”
“I just think that sometimes mental health is talked about … and sometimes I fear that it’s lip service that they give.
“Mental health is still a really grey area — where we can say we’ve got that policy in place, but actually you need to look after people with mental health issues.
“Because in the flip of a light switch, the light can go out.”
Wynne also used the interview as an opportunity to address several incidents that generated headlines during his time on the Strictly live tour.
He spoke about the now-infamous “sex toy” incident involving fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick.
“We’re on tour, spending 24 hours a day with people, you get to know people really well,” he said.
“It was a joke that went too far. He [Jamie] had been talking about this thing backstage — everyone in the dressing room was like, lets get him one.
“I ordered one off Amazon, and as soon as it arrived, it never left the dressing room, it went straight in the bin. The joke was over.”
DARK DAYS
It comes after Wynne told The Sun he wanted to take his own life in his darkest moments.
He only found out he’d been fired by the BBC after reading it in The Sun – and days later discovered his BBC pass was deactivated without warning.
He told us: “One of the things I was disappointed with the BBC about is I’ve spoken openly about my mental health, I’ve made programmes for the BBC about it, done stuff for Mental Health Day.
“I’ve done long interviews for them where I’ve talked about wanting to kill myself.
“Nobody should use that as an excuse if it’s not what they’re going through. But I’ve catalogued my mental health for years and I’ve been really open about it, so it was really hard and I felt like I was pushed to the real end.
“But I am feeling a lot stronger now.”
