Latest News from KegStar

New Kegstar App

Kegstar have just released their latest App update which now has even more GREAT features. It also has an integration with Untappd, the geosocial and mobile phone application that allows its users to check into beers as they drink them, and share these check-ins and their locations with their friends.

    The highlights:
  • Collection Information: Venues, bars & pubs can now select a day and time in addition to the location for kegs to be collected from, so it suits them best.
  • Product Type:  Brewers, cider makers and drinks producers can now choose the brand in each keg, through integration with Untappd, brands and images can also be manually added if it is not available via Untappd yet, so it’s so much easier to keep track of your great products.
  • Maintain Kegs:  Behind the scenes the guys at Kegstar will be able to identify individual kegs for specific maintenance activities, so they keep even closer to making sure kegs are in great shape for your next production and customer.
  • Cask from Kegstar:

    In response to great customer support and feedback, Kegstar will be introducing a 9-gallon cask rental solution early in 2017. It’ll be the same simple Kegstar rent, fill, deliver, scan, repeat process for brewers and venues alike. The new cask offering will be in addition to the 30-litre keg and the developing 50-litre keg offering (both keg variants available clean and unclean). According to Sophie Atherton’s latest Cask Report; the cask beer market is worth £1.7bn and growing in value and rate of sale (+22%). “Cask beer is available in 72% of British pubs and is an important part of the British beer industry so we’re looking forward to working with even more brewers, beers and pubs” adds Richard Atkinson, Business Development Manager at Kegstar.
