Beer-In-Box how it works

1. Traditional, approved production

Like all our beer varieties, the Bag-In-Box beers are brewed in a tradional and approved way according to the Bavarian Purity Law from 1516. 

The guidlines for our Beer production are:

• Exclusive usage of best regional natural ingredients
• Excellent pure brewing water
• Smooth cooking with low temperatures. Therefore the beer ingredients are preserved in the best way.
• Cold fermentation in open vessels.
• Long-time storage up to 8 weeks at cool temperature - optimum expansion of flavour and taste.
• No Preservatives

cold fermentaion

Prior to filling, the carbon dioxide (CO₂) envolve during fermentation/maturation is reduced to ca. 1g/ltr. At this concentration the beer in the bags can heat up to 70°C (southern countries), without pressuring the bag. We use a self developed degassing unit to remove the CO₂ but keep aroma and alcohol in the beer 

3. Filling the beer into the bag

4. Logistcs

Per Europallet, 36 packs (BiBs) can be commissioned. That’s 9 hl per pallet with a total weight of just below 980 kg.

5. Carbonation during dispense

Every existing dispense unit can be converted to Beer-In-Box. All you have to do is  mouning the Anker-Carbonator into your beer lines.

During dispense CO2 is added into the beer by the Carbonator to the required CO2 concentration. We recommend: 6,0 g/l. To make this work, the Carbonator must be connected to a regular CO2 bottle.

For the brewery
+ No risk of loosing kegs. By this new markets can be supplied easier.
+ Less initial capital investment.
+ No investment into kegs for the seasonal consumption peak
+ Highly efficient logistics
+ No return logistics
+ No difference in taste and quality

For the bar/restaurant
+ No keg deposit
+ No difference in taste to normal keg beer
+ Great head (increased froth stability)
+ Extended shelf-life of Beer-In-Box Beer (8 months) compared to keg beer
+ More effective use of storage space
+ Vertical series connection possible (e.g. 3 bags, are parallel connected).
+ Simple handling for bar staff
+ Replacing empty bags on the fly
+ No over-carbonisation like with keg beer. Longer shelf-life after conncetion: up to 3 weeks
+ Less loss, as the beer line never gets empty.
+ Simple cleaning within the normal cleaning cycle.
+ Every existing dispense line can be converted to Beer-In-Box or use a stand alone dispenser with integrated BeerInBox technology inside.
