Get Your Cider On Tap in One-Way Kegs

by | Aug 31, 2017

Kegging cider just got easier with the petainerKeg™.

Your cider is all the rage and now customers are asking for it in their favorite drinking establishments. So now it’s time to get serious about putting your cider on tap. We promise, it’s really not that difficult. Petainer kegs are one-way, 100 percent recyclable PET kegs that offer a cost-effective way to break into the cider-on-draft market.

With Petainer kegs, you don’t have to invest in or lease a steel keg fleet or sign up for any pay-per-fill programs. This allows you to be more productive with your resources and not in the “keg retrieval” business.

So, how do Petainer kegs work and more importantly, how can you get an ROI when using them?

First, the Petainer kegs are fully compatible with standard Sankey D tapping equipment, which is what almost every bar and restaurant in the United States uses to tap kegs. The kegs are easily filled with your existing filling equipment with often only a slight modification.

All Petainer kegs arrive 100 percent sterile and pre-purged with food grade N2, thus eliminating the need to purge your kegs.

Second, you save money as a cidermaker by getting a large quantity, either 20-liter or 30-liter (5 or 8 gallons) of product in one vessel. You will not have to purchase 57 bottles, caps and labels for each 20 liter keg that you serve your cider from!

You will also save by not having to purchase a keg washer, which typically range in price from $12,000 up to $100,000.

Third, and this is most important — peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about your cider, or trying to retrieve your kegs, once your product leaves your production facility. You can focus on the customer experience. You can focus on the presentation with some custom beer tap handles. You can focus on what matters. Product in Petainer kegs also stays fresh for up to nine months once filled. Thus, the quality of your cider is guaranteed and taste is never compromised.

As Andy Sietsma of Sietsma Orchards & Cider Mill in Ada, Michigan, says: “We have had more and more requests for our cider on tap beyond our region and the Petainer kegs help us fulfill these requests quickly and easily. We also know that our product will taste exactly as we intend it to in the Petainer kegs. Petainer has really helped us grow our business.”

🌴🍍 Introducing Island Daiquiri from @portlandcider! 🍊🥥 

Close your eyes, take a sip, and you might just hear the waves crashing. This tropical escape starts with the unmistakable juiciness of pineapple, smoothly blended with velvety coconut. A bright twist of citrus from orange gives it that refreshing zing, and just when you think it’s over, a gentle touch of nutmeg leaves you with a warm, spiced finish. 

What pairs best with this tropical delight?
Spicy tacos 🌮, grilled seafood 🐟, Caribbean flavors, and BBQ straight off the grill. Honestly, though, it pairs perfectly with sunshine and good vibes.

Available now in 12oz 6-packs, 19.2oz single cans, and on draft.

👉 Check out @portlandcider for more details.

Martinelli's Returns to its Roots With the Relaunch of @1868hardcider !

Martinelli’s, makers of premium quality apple juice for more than 155 years, returns to its roots with the re-introduction of 1868 Hard Cider.

“Today, the name Martinelli’s is known around the world for its award-winning apple juice and sparkling cider products,” noted Gun Ruder, President and CEO, S. Martinelli & Company. “But, few may know that the first sips of Martinelli’s taken in 1868 were actually a hard (alcoholic) version of the famous Gold Medal juices we know today,” Ruder added. 

In the late 1910’s, The Martinelli family, anticipating a need to pivot during changing political times that resulted in the outlawing of the sale of alcoholic beverages, developed a pasteurized, non-alcoholic version of the family’s cider. When the National Prohibition Act went into effect in early 1920, the Martinelli family had already replaced its hard cider with non-alcoholic sparkling and still apple juice.

The hard cider made its return in 1933, when the 21st Amendment made the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages legal again, putting an end to Prohibition. Over the years, Martinelli’s hard cider returned to shelves for a limited time, most recently in 2018, to celebrate the company’s 150th Anniversary.

This time, it’s here to stay.

1868 Hard Cider is made from 100% U.S-grown, fresh-pressed apples in a classic blend of Newtown Pippin and West Coast varieties that give Martinelli’s 1868 its signature, just-picked, apple flavor.

Martinelli’s 1868 will be available at select Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, New Leaf, Raley’s, Nugget, Total Wine and Bev Mo! stores in northern California starting on October 21 and then rolls out nationally in early 2025. The 1868 collection includes three 12-ounce flavors, Original, Imperial, and Mango, with more flavors being added to the portfolio in the coming months.
