Quality Export Solutions
The two largest keg solutions providers in the world have joined forces to revolutionise the transatlantic draught beer supply chain.
US keg services company MicroStar (M*) and UK and Europe based Close Brothers Brewery Rentals have created beerQX.
Launching in 2017, beerQX will provide a quality solution to meet brewers’ US and UK/European supply-chain requirements.
