SIBA Beerflex

Beerflex

Beerflex DDS currently buys over 3,500 draught and bottled beers from around 400 participating SIBA brewers and sells them on to a number of national pub companies and off-trade retailers – companies with which, until the establishment of Beerflex, brewers of local beers found it extremely difficult to trade.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of SIBA, Beerflex operates without profit and ensures that its customers – over 2,300 pubs and stores across Britain – receive the best possible prices, delivered in the freshest, most cost effective and environmentally friendly way.

The operation is very simple. Beerflex receives orders from a company or outlet direct via EDI, e-mail, telephone or via SIBA’s Online Order Portal and we distribute them on a daily basis to Beerflex members.

Brewers access their orders through the Members area of the website, the Toolbox, and deliver the required products direct to the outlet according to the SIBA Delivery Charter.

SIBA Beerflex reports centrally on all deliveries made and provides consolidated invoices to the company Head Office, which will then produce any appropriate documentation for the individual outlet.

Here’s an example of just some of the companies Beerflex work with in no particular order:

  • Admiral Taverns
  • Edinburgh Woollen Mills
  • Red Cat
  • Punch Pubs
  • NUSSL Bars
  • Trust Inns
  • Greene King Managed
  • Greene King Leased & Tenanted
  • Marstons PLC
  • Fullers
  • Star Pubs & Bars
  • Brasserie Bar Co
  • Wadworth
  • Red Oak
  • London Town Pub Management
