Experience for more than 30 years HUBER VERPACKUNGEN developed the first 5-litre party keg in 1972. With the addition of a separate tap device, this product represented a successful packaging development using tinplate to dispense fresh draught beer. Since then, numerous improvements and innovations have been introduced by HUBER VERPACKUNGEN. But consumers today ask for more convenience. A keg fulfils consumers demand It is one of those stories of success, that show, that convenient packaging solutions leed to a successful relaunch, the 5-litre party keg with integrated tap, developed and manufacturered by German packaging group HUBER VERPACKUNGEN. The individually printed kegs are providing fresh draught beer wherever and whenever required, without any additional equipment or fittings. When the product was launched over six years ago, this benefit to the consumer led to an extraordinary surge in demand for the new keg, prompting the company to spend over €18 million on setting up a new manufacturing plant in Öhringen in 1999. Since then, the 5-litre party keg has proved popular well beyond the borders of Germany and Europe. Even the long process of transporting the unfilled kegs to Canada / USA or Australia for example, has not diminished the success of the party keg. Breweries all over the world are using the keg as a viable alternative to small cans, bottles or larger kegs. Under the slogan “beer straight from the keg, wherever and whenever you want it”, the HUBER party keg is opening up new opportunities in all markets.
