Bitburger 5l Keg

[jayse]

As a side thread - what do folks think of those 5l kegs. Would you buy a craft beer in them?

Sorry for the hijack ...

Interesting.
I think there could be a market there, if you arranged to get a beer put into these you would sell all them quickly to just your regular customers I would expect. How well they would keep selling for I am not sure but most microbrewery celler doors would do well with one off limited release beers, you could even try a theme to the beer to open up the market beyond regular customers.

Probably for a once off novelty thing to share with a mate but not on an ongoing basis. I imagine it would be a challenge getting good distribution for that sort of thing ?

I agree, a lot of people would be the same they would buy one but unless it was really great value and great beer you proberbly wouldn't buy them too regularly. I am not sure if Scotty there is really concerned too much with mass distribution.

My biggest problem with those mini-kegs is the math.

$25 mini keg is a pretty good deal. I usually see them for at least $30. At that price they're $6 per litre.

You often see Bitburger for $40 per case, which comes to just over $5/L

for those "beginner" who cannot drink one party keg in one night there is a draft system driven by CO2, one can keep the keg for many days after first use.

Isn't there a micro in Northern / Central NSW that does returnable little kegs for the locals.. Port Mac or thereabouts? Warra are you reading this?

Northern Rivers Brewing at Alstonville NSW used to do 9L minikegs I think. They looked like the cornelius-style party keg with a tap added on top.
