In this episode, Andy and Dave are talking wine on tap. They introduce you to the process and explain how one-way kegs can help you gain operational flexibility and successfully expand your business. Kegging wine is a fast-growing trend that presents remarkable advantages for both producers and distributors: it efficiently reduces costs, provides excellent product protection, and most importantly, improves the customer tasting experience.
In this episode, we are talking about one of the fastest growing and most exciting trends – kombucha! What is it, how to brew it and efficiently keg it. Tammy from Petainer Sales and Marketing team joins Dave and Andy to share her experience brewing kombucha. Whilst it may seem that kombucha on tap relies on the same draught technology as beer and wine, scoby can make its kegging process particularly challenging, to say the least.
In this episode, Dave and Andy are attending the Indianapolis Coffee Festival. They talk latest innovations and hottest new trends: cold brew and nitro coffee on tap – two great ways to expand a speciality coffee business and reach national distribution.

In this episode, Andy and Dave tell you more about themselves, give a general introduction to keg logistics and talk you through different keg types currently available to brewers.
