GrowlerWerks' uKeg arrives in Europe and retains a newly minted, cold and sparkling craft beer

GrowlerWerks has partnered with Brouwland, the largest European distributor of craft beer equipment and amateur brewing products

28/11/2018

A growler has just appeared on the market, which allows brewers to get closer to their audience and serve it the beer they love to offer: recently released fresh and sparkling Proost! Health! Cheers!

This week, in Amsterdam, Antwerp, and London, GrowlerWerks will demonstrate uKeg's unique ability to keep fresh, sparkling draft beer for more than two weeks. To market the uKeg, GrowlerWerks has partnered with Brouwland, the largest European distributor of craft beer equipment and amateur brewing products.

"We are pleased to bring uKeg to beer lovers, thanks to this pioneer of beer equipment in the EU," said Shawn Huff, co-founder of GrowlerWerks. "The Brouwland team, made up of beer business experts, embraces innovation and quality, values that we share. "

The taps exist in many popular breweries in the EU. A report from the Independent Brewers Society shows that about one-third of small breweries now operate a tap bar. A recent article, published in The Guardian, highlights how important beer bars are as important as local pubs. Europeans enjoy independent local beers; uKeg will allow them to carry draft beer, keep it at the right temperature and share it with their friends and family.

To prevent good microbreweries from disappearing, three craft beer lovers in Portland, Oregon, faced with an engineering problem, came together and developed the uKeg, a pressurized growler that prevents beer from entering in contact with oxygen and maintaining perfect gasification from the first to the last tankard. A regulator cap, easy to use, equipped with a CO 2 cartridgeFood grade and low cost, is associated with a vacuum insulated stainless steel tank, which allows taking full advantage of uKeg. This small barrel can be placed in a refrigerator, it is aesthetic in a dining room and can be carried everywhere. The uKeg is also the perfect Christmas gift for any beer lover.

"Beer brings people together," said Huff. "We look forward to sharing our love of craft beer on both continents. "

To observe how the uKeg works, or to try to win a uKeg, here is our calendar:
