We recently joined the Drinks Association and were invited to share some details about us. Given the brutal extended lock down so many of us went through, we’re going to approach this differently. By “us”, we want to talk about the community we’re a part of, especially the brewers, bars, restaurants, and beer drinkers across Australia and New Zealand that we support.
Sometimes you don’t fully appreciate something until it’s gone. What a strange blessing it is, then, that many of us had to go without for months. Without the opportunity to meet with friends and make new ones at a local bar. Without the ability for small, local businesses to serve their loyal customers. Without time to meet with our industry partners, and talk about ways to grow together, over a few pints of cold, fresh draft beer.
Through this period, we’ve reflected on the fact that in every industry there will be competition, and differences of opinion. But the leaders in great industries stay committed to trying to find and stand on common ground. It’s hard to do but important to try, and it’s possible for “us” because beer has the ability to bring people together.
For Kegstar, we will continue to step up. That means we will continue to evolve, and focus on what’s most important. That means being a trusted supply partner, delivering the quality kegs our brewers need, when they need them, as efficiently as possible. It also means unlocking the potential that comes from collaboration. With Kegstar, brewers share kegs rather than owning their own thereby dramatically reducing the distance empty kegs travel.
Because we invented and continue to perfect this model, we and our parent company, MicroStar Logistics, will enable our global customers to eliminate freight-related greenhouse gas emissions by over 6 million kg of CO2e next year. Further, the reusable, shareable, long-life-span kegs we provide have helped our customers eliminate billions of one-way cans and bottles from waste and recycling streams across the world. These are results to celebrate, and build on.
We’re proud to support the Drinks Association, as well as the Independent Brewers Association, because we’re committed to the idea that we are better together. If you want to get to know us better, we’d love to get a draft beer with you. Give us a shout at rent@kegstar.com and let’s chat.
Cheers to “Us”,
