Bag in Box - A low waste way of serving cask ale

Minimise Cask Beer Wastage

Wildcraft Brewery wants to make sure you don't waste beer. To ensure this doesn't happen, we have invested in bag in box technology. These bag in box are in ridged, reusable boxes, have connectors to ensure you can run the beer through your existing lines and even have in built chilling lines that we can plumb into your existing cooler.

How It Works: 

  • The Container: The beer is stored in a flexible plastic bag inside a sturdy cardboard box. 
  • Gravity or Pump Dispense: The liquid is drawn out either via gravity or through a hand pump connected to the bag. 
  • No External Gas Needed: Unlike kegged beer, bag-in-box systems typically don't require additional CO₂ or nitrogen to dispense, preserving the beer's natural carbonation. 
  • Freshness Maintained: As the bag collapses when beer is dispensed, minimal air enters, helping to maintain the beer's freshness.

Benefits: 

  • Portability: Lightweight and easy to transport, making it great for events or venues with limited storage. 
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduced carbon footprint compared to metal kegs; easier to recycle or dispose of. 
  • Cost-Effective: Cheaper than traditional keg systems and requires minimal setup. 
  • Space-Saving: Compact and stackable for efficient storage. 
  • Minimal Waste: The bag collapses completely, ensuring nearly all the beer can be used. 
  • Authenticity: Particularly well-suited for real ales, allowing them to be served closer to their intended cask condition.
