    What is the style of the beer? Is graffenwalder the beer's name?

    Without knowing anything more specific, I would assume the beer is fine as long as you have no other reason to suspect it isn't. Does it smell fine? If so, give it a small taste? Anything off there? If not, then I would presume it's fine.

    It is highly unlikely that a packaged beer is actually unsafe to drink. It might taste like crap, but it is unlikely to be actually unsafe.

    I'm assuming it's either Weissbier. I'm also assuming, perhaps unfairly, that OP expected the Pils and didn't know about the others.

    Is this another drive-by? Guy registers to ask a vague incomplete question, then never returns? OP - you still there? Bueller? Bueller?

    Moving kegs around does require some slight downtime unless they are flitered. I know with home brewing, if I dont touch a keg in the fridge for weeks, itll clear out like crazy. But upon even a slight nudge, it can turn to visual crap very easily.

    I guess it all depends on what you expect out of your keg

    Sorry, we get posts where folks start a discussion and disappear. Glad it tastes good. Beers can be cloudy and be just fine - probably normal for that beer. May not find anyone here specifically familiar with that beer, but if it smells and tastes good then should be great to drink. Hopefully you stick around - lots of great discussions, and your Irish perspective would be good to have.

    Taste is key, so long as it taste ok I would not worry about the cloudy side.

    Those types of beers are supposed to be cloudy.

    Cheers!

    From your witbiers to hefes, I have seen instructions to store the kegs upside down before dispensing, and then every few days give them a swirl

    Double likes. Jack is double right -- it's supposed to be cloudy, and you need to Drink Up.
