Blefa sells 30 millionth keg to Diageo´s St James Brewery
· 1 min read


A broad product spectrum suitable for a versatile range of applications, consistently high quality, long-standing experience over the past 5 decades in keg production and a highly efficient keg service network: these are the reasons why BLEFA has made a reputable name for itself that stands for quality “Made in Germany”.
Diageo, a global beverage alcohol company that produces brands including Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, Tanqueray and Guinness, is one of its customers, and trusts in the quality they are offering. In 2017 Diageo’s business in Ireland purchased a number of kegs and with their order pushed Blefa’s total production record beyond 30 million kegs.
In May 2018, Sebastian Hilpisch, International Sales Manager for UK and Ireland, visited Diageo to hand over a special anniversary keg to Aidan Crowe (Operations Director, St James’s Gate Brewery), Bryan Keane (Supplier Performance Manager, Diageo) – pictured here.
30 million sold kegs is a proof of consistent quality which BLEFA promise to keep up for many years to come. To strengthen this promise BLEFA is worldwide the only manufacturer offering a 30 year warranty on their kegs and has established a worldwide network for keg services.

Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.

Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
