Envases launches new five litre beer keg

Packaging specialist Envases Group has launched a 5-litre draught keg designed to deliver a bar-style tap experience in compact formats, especially targeting premium and craft beverage applications in off-premise, event or home settings.

The new keg features a built-in CO₂ cartridge and a novel dispensing system. The CO₂ cartridge supports internal pressure for pouring, enabling controlled dispensing and foam formation as found in traditional keg systems. 

In addition, the keg incorporates “smart” functions, reflecting Envases’ push to embed connectivity or monitoring features in their packaging solutions. 

Key features and benefits:

• Authentic tap-style dispensing thanks to the integrated CO₂ cartridge and optimised fluid path.
• Compact 5 L size suits smaller-batch releases, premium beer formats, hospitality pop-ups or home draught systems.
• Smart functions (likely digital monitoring of remaining volume, pressure, freshness or usage) add value and operational insight for brand owners.
• Offers brands a premium format for differentiation in the growing at-home or event-based consumption segments.
• Aligns with broader demand for flexible metal packaging formats that combine portability, performance and premium experience.

From a strategic viewpoint, the keg underscores how metal packaging suppliers are responding to evolving market demands: smaller-format draught experiences, premiumisation and brand-owners seeking agile packaging solutions. The combination of integrated dispensing, smart features and premium format makes the Envases 5 L keg a noteworthy addition to the metal packaging space.
