Thornbridge Brewery celebrates Jaipurs 20th year with new custom printed mini cask
Earlier this year Thornbridge launched their flagship brand Jaipur in its own custom printed mini cask. Launched in 2005, Jaipur IPA has been available to purchase in draught format in 5l mini casks for several years in a generic Thornbridge brewery design:
Now Jaipur is available fully branded. The printing is a combination of a white base to show off the burnt orange colour together with the bright gold that shines through from printing directly onto the metal substrate of the keg. This 5l mini cask also features the latest innovation from German manufacturer Envases which is the new and improved tap.
Thornbridge calls their 5l kegs ‘mini casks’ because the beer is filled in a similar way to how casks are racked at the brewery. The consumer is asked to settle the mini cask for a few days prior to consuming.
The feedback on the Thornbridge Brewery webshop show consumers are appreciating the draught pour experience more with the new taps.
On 26th June Steve G gave it a 5 star review on their website and said : ‘Great beer and a great new tap on the cask.’*
There is also a positive complaint from one consumer Colin C who says ‘need to make the mini kegs more available, excellent quality and service, but only available a few times a year.’* Perhaps the next batch will be filled and available for the festive season ahead!
If your brewery is considering custom printed mini kegs for their Christmas beer sales, it’s already time to request the files to create your artwork. The lead time from receipt of artwork is currently approx. 7-8 weeks.
