North Belfast man Joe O'Boyle last night said he hoped the Hatfield House Guinness home delivery service would soon be up and running again.
The father-of-three was one of a number of customers who saw their order cancelled yesterday after the service was shut down following PSNI attention.
He had phoned on Saturday to place an order for pints for him and his two sons, as well as a surprise pint for his neighbour who lives alone.
Having paid over the phone, such was the popularity of the business, the pints could not be delivered until last night.
However, after hearing about the service being halted yesterday afternoon, Mr O'Boyle called the Hatfield to make enquiries.
"I got talking to one of the managers and chatted with him," he said.
"He said `We are gutted'."

Mr O'Boyle said he was told that the PSNI could not fine the staff "under the legislation" but had "booked one of the guys for the front on his number plate".
Mr O'Boyle said he had been "looking forward" to his pint.
"There were three of us. Myself and my two sons," he said.
"We were actually going to give the gentleman next door a wee pint. He lives on his own".
The north Belfast man said he didn't think the PSNI had "a leg to stand on" adding the Hatfield House were "not taking it lying down".
"I think if something puts a smile on someone's face, it's worth it. That's what it's all about," he said.
