Despite the company’s growth spurt, Ken said that he is cautious of too much change for Beer Tech, too fast. “I want to stay small and stay local and basically just work for small independently-owned businesses.” “It’s also just neat to be able to dispense beer at a get-together or on a fishing trip. It definitely has its advantages.”
However, that doesn’t mean that Ken isn’t willing to continue to diversify his business model. “The bulk CO2 side of the business is growing, and it’s important to us financially, because it’s something we’re doing that our competitors aren’t,” Ken said. For example, 2 Crows Brewing in Halifax is a complete BeerTech setup. “We did their draft system, but we also set up their bulk CO2, installed the CO2 system they require for the brewing process, canning, and bottling,” Ken said. “We even custom-built storage towers to their specifications.”
“It’s a lot of fun going into a new pub, a new craft brewery or a new restaurant and setting up their taps.”
BeerTech’s custom tap installation resumé includes a 1950s-style ice box and a vintage French oak wine barrel.
