WE’RE ON A MISSION

The Steel Keg Association is the non-profit marketing organization focused on increasing the volume of beer and other beverages served from stainless steel kegs.

STEEL KEG BENEFITS

  • 1. CIRCULAR

    Steel kegs’ reusability and 30+ year lifespan help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts according to a new ISO-14040 framework Life Cycle Analysis from Deloitte.

  • 2. EFFICIENT

    Steel kegs deliver bulk liquids, driving superior economic benefits for bars and restaurants.

  • 3. FRESH

    REUSABLE steel kegs deliver a fresh experience consumers can’t get at home, helping to drive traffic to brewpubs, bars and restaurants.

 

WHY CIRCULARITY MATTERS

In a circular economy, once the consumer is finished with a product, it goes back into the supply chain rather than waste streams. Steel kegs can be reused for 30+ years making the most efficient use of our planet’s finite resources and helping to minimize environmental impacts.
