The Lerwick Brewery on the Shetland Islands is now selling its flagship beers 60º North and Skipper’s Ticket in disposable kegs. Due to the remoteness of their location the brewery had sought to find a more practical means of providing a keg product. The move sees the brewery greatly expand their distribution reach at a time when interest in Scottish craft beer is at an all time high.
Alison Graham, On Trade Sales Manager, Lerwick Brewery says, “The use of disposable kegs is great for our customers – it means we can supply anywhere in the UK and across the world. They work better logistically too – the compact design means that KeyKegs have a 25-30% higher loading capacity than steel kegs. Fewer shipments are required, and empty kegs do not need to be returned, offering both us and our customers savings on transport costs. The kegs are also lightweight and easy to stack, so the KeyKeg system saves valuable space during storage and transport. Everyone in the chain enjoys these advantages – from our distributers right through to the end consumer of our beers.”
