Customers will soon be able to enjoy Radegast in a five liter keg

“I am certain that our customers will fall in love with the five liter keg. It is an ideal choice for a gathering of friends, whether it be a BBQ or just sitting around with a beer in hand,” said Manager of the Radegast brand, Pavel Kmínek, explaining the benefits of the keg.

The five liter keg offers the taste of a beer from tap without the need for other equipment or having to return a keg. “Customers could already bring home bottled Radegast from the supermarket, but thanks to the five liter keg, they’ll be able to bring home beer from the tap. For our customers, this presents added value, which we are sure they will appreciate from their favorite brand,” added Pavel Kmínek.

Besides an attractive look and a light weight, the keg is also ecological. It is manufactured from fully recyclable material so it will not pollute the environment.

The proposed price of a five liter keg with Radegast Premium beer is 269 Kč (12.80 USD). Customers will be able to buy kegs from the same stores in which they usually purchase their Radegast in bottles or cans. The sale is not seasonal.

A warning by a brewer from Radegast: don’t store beer from an open keg, the oxygen reacts negatively with the beer and when the beer comes in contact with the air it lowers the quality of beer.
