The BrewLock keg is a patented double wall 20L keg made out of 100% recyclable PET plastic. The beer lives in a bladder inside the keg, protected by the PET shell. Traditional kegs rely on an often-expensive blend of CO2 and N2 that can result in inconsistent or compromised quality. With BrewLock, a small, customized air compressor exerts pressure in the area between the shell and the bladder, pushing the beer through the draught lines untouched, which guarantees a perfectly carbonated beer every time.
