Sept 9, 2007 Ecokeg Asia along side Kiuchi Brewery exhibited at the recent Great Japan Beer Festival (GJBF) organized by the Japan Craft Brewers Association (JCBA). Over 60 craft brewers, importers and some 6000 visitors attended the 3 day event held in Yokohama City. Local star brewer Kiuchi, famous for its top-selling Hitochino White Ale in the USA, served up a variety of brews to visitors from 30 litre One way kegs! Japan has been described as the Asian hub for microbrews and beer is the most popular alcoholic drink in Japan, accounting for nearly two thirds of the 9 billion liters of alcohol consumed in 2006 . Many craft brewers in Japan seek to grow exports but rising steel costs have limited expansion plans in new markets such as the USA, Europe and China. The One way keg now provides brewers and beverage producers alike with a cost effective solution to grow new (and existing) draught markets previously out of reach!

Barons use OneWayKeg™

Sept 5, 2007 Barons Brewing, an up and coming Brewhouse based in Sydney, are using the One Way Keg as part of their push into Russian and US markets. Barons have received excellent reviews in the US, where they are receiving plenty of attention for using wattle seed in their beer. The One Way Keg is allowing Barons logistical savings on kegs, freeing up valuable capital that can be redirected into brand and sales development.

Taiwan, November 14th - Ecokeg Asia (of the Australian Ecokeg Group), confirmed today the delivery of the first shipment of One-Way kegs™ to California, New York and Florida. Filled with Bluetongue™ a premium Australian Draught Beer, the kegs are bound for customers throughout the popular US restaurant chain ‘Outback Steakhouse’.

“The one-way keg really allows breweries to penetrate new On-tap markets and better serve existing export markets previously limited by the high cost of establishing and maintaining a steel keg float. We’re extremely happy to see the embracement of this new Australian technology filled with premium Australian beer for export. It’s a win-win business for all involved” said Josh Hastings, Ecokeg Asia’s Marketing & Sales Director.
