Beer in kegs instead of glass and plastic bottles

Meeting a friend, watching a football match, going out into nature with a company or a painful morning after a stormy holiday – all these events are accompanied by a plentiful amount of beer. Most people buy their favorite drink in glass bottles, as they hold the beer best. But there are problems here.

Even 30 glass bottles cause a lot of trouble. Not only is glass a poorly recyclable waste and its use degrades the environment, but you also run the risk of not getting the beer to its destination by accidentally breaking fragile bottles. In addition, the glass decently weighs and takes up a lot of space in the car.

To solve the second problem, manufacturers increase the production of beer in plastic containers, taking care of the environment and reducing their own costs. But plastic significantly reduces the shelf life. If beer can be stored in glass containers for about 9 months, then in plastic – no more than 3.

A simple and convenient way to transport beer is to transport it in kegs. These containers are made of stainless steel or special plastic, they retain the unique taste of beer for a long time without reducing its shelf life.

Kegs come in different capacities, so finding the right size keg is not a problem. Disposable kegs have appeared on sale, which are much cheaper than reusable ones, and besides, they do not need to be returned back to the manufacturer. If you plan to take more than 5 liters of beer, you should consider purchasing a keg, it is more profitable and convenient.
