Brewster’s are a UK-based independent brewery, with a growing reputation for producing beers, ales and lagers of exceptional quality and individual flavour.

Established in 1998 by owner Sara Barton, today this artisan brewery offers medal-winning beers of distinction for almost any occasion.
Proud of their brand, Brewster’s sought to introduce ‘Helles Belles’, their latest SIBA medal-winning Helles style lager, to a wider, though no less discerning audience.

The Challenge

To expand Brewster’s name and grow the business, without attracting additional production costs along the line.

The Petainer Solution

Brewster’s trust the operational advantages every 30L PET kegs delivers. Unlike lesser alternatives, PET kegs actively protect the product from oxygen. This leap forward in practical application guarantees 100% taste and quality from producer to consumer; encouraging Brewster’s to profit from changes in market demand.

Petainer’s clearest advantage is weight. Significantly lighter than metal varieties, PET kegs (which can be blown in-situ,) require far less storage space and can dramatically reduce the costs of transportation.

“Petainer eliminates the whole cost of return logistics.’’ Additionally because they can be fully-recycled, PET kegs remove the need for and cost of keg-fleets and reverse logistics. Substantial savings which Brewster’s can pass on to attract fresh business. ‘’They’re a straight swap technologically, and incredibly useable.’’ All petainerKegs carry disposable fittings supporting common filling and tapping systems, making them a reassuringly familiar technology. An innovation Brewster’s are already planning to make more of: “We’re working on an idea involving 20L petainerKegs and a courier van.”

"We’re delighted with Petainer and have lots of ideas for using the kegs in fresh markets."

— Sean McArdle, Brewster’s Brewery
