About
Keg Logistics is a specialized keg leasing and rental company serving breweries across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Founded with a brewer-first philosophy, the company provides some of the most flexible keg program options in the industry, making high-quality German-made kegs accessible even to the smallest craft breweries. Their program lineup includes rent-to-own, short-term leasing, pay-per-fill, sale and leaseback, and export keg programs — giving breweries the freedom to choose a financial model that fits their cash flow and growth stage. Crucially, Keg Logistics imposes no exclusivity agreements, allowing brewers to maintain relationships with multiple suppliers. The platform supports breweries at every level: startups just getting off the ground can access premium kegs without large upfront costs, while established operations can optimize working capital through sale and leaseback arrangements. Businesses can request fully customized quotes online, and regional payment portals are available for USA/Canada and UK/Ireland customers. Keg Logistics operates its world headquarters in Centennial, CO, with dedicated divisions for North America (USA/Canada) and the UK under the North Keg brand. Their customer support handles general inquiries, accounting assistance, and empty keg pickup logistics.
