Ask most brewery owners how many kegs the brewery has and you are likely to get one of two answers;\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m not sure\u201d or \u201cwe\u2019ve bought X number.\u201d The actual number is often a guess, at best.<\/p>\n

Keg loss is when a brewery-owned keg is lost in the ether of bar & restaurant coldrooms and\/or distribution storage. It’s been an annoying factor in owning a brewery and distributing beer, and for many years\u00a0those lost kegs were considered just the cost\u00a0of doing business. However, in recent\u00a0years software development has made it possible to not only know how many kegs your brewery has,\u00a0but where they are and how long they\u2019ve been outside your brewery.<\/p>\n

KegID is one such solution designed to help brewers track their property.\u00a0\u201cSimply answering the question: ‘Where are my kegs’ allows brewers\u00a0to save money,\u201d said Chris Spradley, KegID Craft Brand Manager. \u201cWe [KegID] can help even more by\u00a0giving information to keep bars\/restaurants\u00a0accountable and managing\u00a0your entire inventory of kegs. By doing so, we can offer\u00a0quality control and higher efficiency with little effort or cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using QR-coded labels, KegID scans the movement of kegs through an application on a smart phone or tablet. Then, the cloud-based\u00a0software provides analytics on where the kegs are, where they’re going and if they’re due (or overdue) back to the brewery.<\/p>\n

KegID representatives will be visiting San Diego\u00a0February 8-12.\u00a0Breweries interested should contact Chris Spradley (Chris.Spradley@SLG.com<\/a>) to set up an appointment. Contact Chris for a consultation (be sure to mention this post). If sign up,\u00a0your first month is free!<\/p>\n
