Beer travels to pubs in barrels.

Well, it used to.  Actual barrels are quite large - 288 pints - so the vast majority of beer gets transported and sold in firkins, which hold 72 pints.

The barrels are all recycled - flushed with hot water, blasted with steam, and refilled whilst still hot.

The barrels are then moved to the edge of Southwold, to their warehouse with a living roof, ready for distribution all over the country.
