De Gouden Pint is the best-known Dutch beer award chosen by beer lovers. It's an award given by beer consumers. De Gouden Pint is awarded to companies and initiatives that mean something in the beer world. KeyKeg was asked to take part and was selected as one of the five finalists. We don't want to deny you the jury's evaluation, as the representatives of the conscious beer drinker. It says a lot. The fact that a magnificent initiative by Gulpener, Budels, Alfa and Lindeboom "De Smaak van Echt" was the final winner after this evaluation is to us a mere detail...

Gouden Pint Jury evaluation
The KeyKeg makes it more interesting for the hospitality trade to include beer from small brewers in their assortment because of the advantages it offers such as: long shelf life, better storage, recyclable and staff-friendliness (light weight). The KeyKeg is also suitable for beer with secondary fermentation so that Dutch beer consumers are able to try a much wider range of special beers on draught. KeyKeg lowers the financial threshold for bringing vats onto the market. The jury is of the opinion that the KeyKeg contributes to enlarging the diversity in the Dutch beer world.
