The World Cup 2026 Draught Challenge

The 2026 World Cup is bigger than ever: 48 nations, 12 groups, and a full summer of football. So we set ourselves a challenge. Could we match every nation with a different drink from the beers, lagers, ciders, stouts and low/no options we can source for events?

Planning a World Cup party in London?

Whether it is an office screening, garden party or private fan zone, we can supply chilled kegs, draught beer equipment and mobile bar options across London. Browse our keg range or ask us to create a World Cup drinks line-up for your event.

Some picks are proudly national. Some are inspired by the country, the fans, the climate or the football. Some are simply what we would put on the bar if that team was kicking off on the big screen.

Welcome to The World Cup Draught Challenge.

This is not an official beer list, and not every drink is brewed in the country it represents. It is a fun World Cup drinks menu challenge based on products The Portable Pub Company can source for events. Availability can vary, especially for specialist kegs, so please contact us about current stock and order times.
