A Drayman was historically the driver of a dray, a low, flat-bed wagon without sides, that was used for delivery of all kinds of goods. Now the term is really only used for brewery delivery men, even though routine horse-drawn deliveries are almost entirely extinct. Some breweries do still maintain teams of horses and a dray, but these are used only for special occasions such as festivals or opening new premises.

dray-man i think. but when i used to deliver beer for ab, people always just called me bud-man. when i worked at Pepsi though, they all called me Pepsi-man. i am not sure if it is because i have a stupid first name, or if it is just easier to call your delivery man by the company he works for. but i want to say that dray-man is the right term. and just in case you are wondering, it is not as cool as i thought it would be to be a beer man. the work is hard, the money sucks, and bartender chicks are always hitting on you. wait... never mind, i loved that job

The associated name to give them is a Dreyman, which dates back to the days of using horse drawn carts for delivering the beer.

A Dreyman because the vehicle which delivers the kegs is called a drey, even if it's lorry.
There are still some horse drawn ones around, pulled by huge horses.

He used to be a drayman in the days of horse-drawn carts. A dray was the type of cart used to carry barrels. It was a low strong cart specifically designed for carrying heavy goods.
