South London Beers: Reboot - Last Thursday of the Month at The Prince Regent, Herne Hill, SE24

Its a Monday night innit, as a free house* they clear all their stocks over busy weekends and occasionally end up hiring a van to go and buy replacement kegs in order to have stock before the deliveries arrive...

• i think they're free, and not a tied pub.
  
  
  
  

Free or tied, a managed house, blah blah this makes no difference to ordering the right amount of beer to last until the next delivery turns up.

You can move to two deliveries (or whatever you need) a week if you a) sell a huge amount of beer and b) have a tiny cellar.

You should run a bit of overlap, so you plan to run the last cask of (say) Doom Bar out when the new stock has been tapped and spiled and has settled.

That way you always have the beer available, but not hanging around either, if that makes sense.
