Keg Logistics believes a brewery should OWN its casks and kegs, and that the 30-year asset belongs on the balance sheet of the brewer in the long run. Keg Logistics allows breweries of all sizes to strategically build their cask and keg fleet without the burden of upfront costs, offering the highest quality keg available in the market, supplying only kegs from the top manufacturers in the world, Franke/Blefa, Thielmann, and Schaefer. Available are casks, pins, 50 litre and 30 litre keg sizes. Keg Logistics embosses the casks/kegs with the brewer’s name and also pays to have the casks/kegs painted with the colour stripe choice of the brewer. The kegs are personalised for the brewer from the start as its own asset. The ‘Rent To Own’ keg programme works whether you pour out of a brewery’s taproom or distribute into pubs across the country. With Keg Logistics you can eliminate the burden of a large capital expenditure by renting to own the amount of kegs/casks you need now while growing your keg fleet on your schedule. The brewer builds equity in the keg assets with each payment. With Keg Logistics you can choose to rent-to-own your kegs from 1 year to as far out as 6 years. Any time after the first year, you can buy out any portion or all of your rented fleet. Your monthly payment and buyout value decreases over time, in a clear and upfront buyout rate schedule included in the agreement. Brewers can add kegs/casks through an easy reorder programme at any time. Any brewery with a long term business plan understands the benefits of owning its valuable keg assets. Bearing in mind the fact that a keg/cask is a potential 30-year life asset, a brewer or cider maker should avoid being trapped into renting casks and kegs forever, or paying expensive pay-per-fill fees for perpetuity, while never getting an asset in return. Many of these rent-only agreements have terms that are very restricitve and the brewer sacrifices future flexibility with penalties built in at the time of return. Keg Logistics’ customer base includes breweries and cider makers that have 36 casks to brewers with over 30,000 kegs - all having determined that the ‘Rent To Own’ programme has long term benefits for every size of company. Keg Logistics says that references are available from any area of the country. If a brewer needs help shipping its kegs back from distributors, it can arrange for any logistics help that you need, at a competitive price. It also supplies stainless kegs for one-way export to the USA, with 30-litre and US 1/6th barrel kegs available to fill, ship and forget. 42 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Showcase CASKS & KEGS www.keglogistics.com For more information visit: Cask and Keg Repair & Refurbishment Specialists • A Genuine Alternative to Cask and Keg Replacement • Repairs to casks and kegs of all sizes • We can supply refurbished casks too • Fast On-Site Turnaround • Competitive Rates • Over 60 years of Industry Experience Please contact us for a list of all our other onsite services.
