Did you know…

The SIBA Craft Beer Report shows that the volume of members’ beer going into cans has more than tripled since 2019. In fact, cask volumes were decimated in 2020 and 2021 and are unlikely to recover in the short to medium term. Kegs and cans are clearly the formats for the future, but that’s going to take additional investment at a time when funds are in short supply.
