Brewery Taproom use case

    Non-Alcoholic Kegs for Brewery Taprooms

    Add a non-alcoholic tap handle without brewing one yourself — same Sankey D, same draft system, no new license.

    Why NA on tap for brewery taproom programs

    Most US breweries are now adding 1-2 NA tap handles for designated drivers, sober-curious regulars, and pregnant guests. Building your own NA SKU means new brewing process, new license workflow, and shelf life headaches. Sourcing finished NA kegs from PourZero gets a high-quality NA pour onto your tap wall in days, not quarters. All kegs are 1/6 bbl Sankey D — same as your house beer — so there's zero retrofit to your draft system. Wholesale pricing kicks in at 10+ kegs per order.

    How many NA kegs does a taproom move?

    Most multi-tap taprooms move 1-2 NA kegs per week per handle. Volume scales with sober-curious demographics and whether you're DD-friendly.

    Small taproom, 1 NA handle

    4-6 kegs / month

    Medium taproom, 2 NA handles

    10-16 kegs / month

    Brewpub with food, 2-3 NA

    16-24 kegs / month

    Multi-location regional

    40+ kegs / month, standing order

    Recommended categories for brewery taproom pours

    Every category ships in standard 1/6 bbl Sankey D kegs. Pick what fits your taps.

    Equipment & setup

    Every PourZero keg is 1/6 bbl Sankey D — drop into your existing draft trunk with no retrofit. Use the same CO2 lines you already run for sparkling categories. Nitro cold brew needs a nitrogen blend on a dedicated stout faucet.

    Brewery Taproom scenarios we serve

    Real configurations operators are running today.

    Designated driver handle

    A dedicated DD-friendly NA handle covers the table where one guest doesn't drink and keeps the round size up.

    Pregnancy & sober-curious

    20-30% of bar guests order at least one NA drink per visit. Without a real handle they walk to the bar next door.

    Daytime / brunch programming

    Mocktails and nitro cold brew open up day-part revenue your beer SKUs can't serve.

    Festival & off-premise pours

    Bringing an NA handle to festivals doubles your audience and adds a per-pour line you don't compete with yourself on.
