We're heading to Liverpool next month for the annual BeerX event at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre.
We supply bottles to many breweries in the UK and overseas, and we will be showcasing our range of beer bottles at the BeerX trade show on 19th and 20th March.
BeerX is the UK’s biggest beer and brewing trade event and is organised by the Society for Independent Brewers (SIBA). The two-day event features a busy schedule of beer tasting, seminars, talks and debates.
Alongside the industry trade show, breweries which have been named winners in their region will do battle to be crowned national champion in a range of categories by an expert panel of judges. As sponsors of the British Ales category for bottles, Beatson Clark will be proud to present this award to the winning brewery on the last day of the show.
Beatson Clark bottles are a popular choice for many breweries beer brands including BrewDog, Robinsons and Greene King, and BeerX gives the company an opportunity to meet customers old and new and showcase its products and services.
Our brewing customers range from smaller craft brands that want standard bottles available from stock to larger breweries looking for fully bespoke bottles from 500,000 units.
A nimble, flexible approach and outstanding customer service are what make Beatson Clark first choice when it comes to glass packaging for beers and ciders.
For years now craft brewers have been taking advantage of our flexible service customising standard beer bottles. If budgets don’t allow for a completely new bespoke design, Beatson Clark can customise standard bottles to reflect a beer’s branding and image.
Embossing can be added to standard bottles on production runs as low as 150,000 units, and mould costs are reduced by half. This creates a bespoke look to enhance a brewery’s brand in a cost-effective way and at very low volumes.
Charlotte Pike, Marketing Manager at Beatson Clark, said: “As silver sponsors of SIBA we have been attending BeerX for a number of years and as usual we’re really looking forward to it!
“This year we will also be telling brewers about our new spray decorating service. We can achieve an array of visual and tactile finishes and effects, and we can also apply a UV coating to white flint bottles to provide protection against light strike.”
This protection is something that’s already offered by Beatson Clark’s dark amber bottles, which are popular among breweries as they provide over 90% protection from UV rays.
“Glass remains the most healthy and sustainable material to package your beer. In addition to the high recycled content and recyclability of glass, it is also completely inert. This means that glass is the only mainstream packaging for beer that does not require a resin or plastic liner.
