Whilst bar tender, pub managers and bouncers all play their part in making pubs everywhere great, there are a group of individuals whose contribution to you big night consistently go unnoticed. These guys are their every morning at pubs around the world, at a time when chances are you are fast asleep in bed or possibly even still drinking at your favourite 24 hour pub.

If you are the latter, then you might get a chance to appreciate the work of the guys that deliver the kegs to your local pub.

If by chance you have never had the privilege of seeing a keg delivery, it is a beautiful sight performed by kings among men. Don't let their burly frame, wife-beater singlet (sometimes with reflective gear) or tattoo's fool you, these guys have skills when it comes to delivering kegs to pubs.

So you think we are joking? Put this into perspective people, each keg weighs over 100kg, and each truck can hold well over 100 kegs. That's about 10 tonnes of beer these guys are responsible for, without which you favourite local pub would cease to operate. In addition to that pressure to deliver on time, these guys manage to do it using only a small sandbag

If you aren't sure what we are talking about, we suggest you head to your local pub at 6am and watch and marvel as these guys roll a keg to the edge of the truck, let it fall in what can only be called a "precision drop" perfectly onto the sandbag, then use this kinetic energy to roll the keg to the pub. If this is not the most brilliantly low tech system for delivering heavy item I don't know what is. And this is not to mention these guys can do all this, whilst smoking a cigarette.

So next time you are at your pub, watching as the person behind the bar begins to pull your favourite beer into a frosty glass, consider how that beer got there and take a moment to reflect on the guys that delivered that beer to the pub, and how important they are to your pub life.

However as with all professions, there is corruption as you can see from this guy:
