BrewDog Selects MicroStar Logistics as Long-Term Global Steel Keg Supply Chain Partner; Unlocks Sustainability, Efficiency and Quality Benefits

LONDON, June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To support BrewDog’s mission to get their beers into as many people’s hands as possible, as sustainably as possible, the multi-national brewer has chosen Kegstar (the international division of MicroStar) to power their global steel keg supply chain programs. This new, long-term agreement expands on MicroStar’s existing partnership with BrewDog in the US, adding exclusive steel keg supply and quality services to BrewDog-owned breweries in Scotland, Germany, and Australia.

“BrewDog is a true craft beer pioneer, and their relentlessly innovative approach has resulted in explosive growth,” said Bryan Place, President of Kegstar. “Our proven keg supply chain programs are built for scale and growth… We’re excited to expand our operating partnership with BrewDog as we together tap into the benefits reusable PLUS shareable steel kegs deliver.”

“As the leading pay-per-fill supplier with global reach across North America, UK, Western Europe and Australia / New Zealand, Kegstar was the natural choice for us as we looked to expand our use of reusable steel kegs,” says James Watt, Co-Founder and CEO of BrewDog. “This new global partnership also supports our mission to use the most efficient, circular supply chain options available… MicroStar’s dense network of reusable, shareable kegs return our planet’s finite materials back to the supply chain more directly.”

As part of this partnership, MicroStar will expand access to its growing network of shareable, Kegstar-branded kegs, and the benefits that result, to breweries and beer distributors of all sizes throughout Western Europe.
