The Zero-Proof Draft Supply Chain: How Non-Alcoholic Kegs Get From Brew to Tap
PourZero exists to be the zero-proof draft supply chain for modern bars, cafes, offices, and venues. We're the infrastructure layer that takes non-alcoholic drinks from recipe to keg to tap, so operators don't have to be brewers, packagers, or logistics companies.
If you already pour beer, cold brew, or kombucha, you have the hardware. The gap has been the non-alcoholic keg marketplace and supply chain that connects great zero-proof drinks to your taps. That's the problem PourZero solves.
What Is the Zero-Proof Draft Supply Chain?
The zero-proof draft supply chain is the end-to-end system that takes non-alcoholic beverages from production into kegs and then onto taps in bars, cafes, offices, events, and homes.
It includes:
PourZero's job is to handle that entire chain for zero-proof drinks.
Why Zero-Proof Needs Its Own Draft Supply Chain
Non-alcoholic beverages don't behave exactly like beer:
Different ingredients and shelf-life needs
Different flavor expectations (less sweet, more 'adult')
Different decision-makers — office managers, cafe owners, event planners
Most operators:
- Already have draft equipment
- Do not want to manage brewing, keg washing, or return logistics
That's why a dedicated zero-proof draft supply chain matters: it lets them add NA taps without adding operational complexity.
How PourZero Fits Into the Zero-Proof Draft Supply Chain
PourZero is both the non-alcoholic keg marketplace where operators choose what to pour, and the zero-proof draft supply chain that actually brews, kegs, and ships those drinks.
Beverage Creation
We develop zero-proof recipes — sparkling teas, hop water, nitro, iced teas, mocktails. Brand partners can bring their own recipes under NDA.
Kegging & Packaging
All business kegs are 1/6 barrel, Sankey D, ~5 gallons / ~20 L. One-way recyclable kegs remove return logistics from the chain.
Storage & Logistics
Cold storage and inventory management. Palletization and freight planning for 20–40+ keg orders.
Delivery to Operators
Ship kegs to bars, cafes, offices, venues, and homes across the U.S. Local swap options where available.
Tap Compatibility & Serving
Standard Sankey D coupler, typical draft pressures, normal cooler temps. If you can pour beer or cold brew, you can pour zero-proof kegs.
Zero-Proof Draft vs Canned NA Drinks
| Format | How It Moves | Cost / Serving | Waste | Experience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NA kegs on tap | Brew → keg → one-way keg → tap | ~$2–3 | Minimal | Premium draft |
| Canned NA drinks | Brew → can → case → fridge → single-serve waste | ~$4–6 | High | Fridge grab |
Switching to kegs uses the same zero-proof liquid, but over a more efficient draft supply chain. Operators keep more margin per pour and move less packaging — typically a 50–70% reduction in cost per serving versus single-serve cans.
Who Benefits from a Zero-Proof Draft Supply Chain?
Bars & Breweries
Add real NA taps without installing new equipment or managing new vendors.
Coffee Shops & Cafes
Get sparkling teas, hop water, nitro, and iced teas on tap alongside cold brew.
Offices & Tech Campuses
Replace cases of cans with a single NA keg on draft that feels premium and reduces waste.
Events & Venues
Offer inclusive zero-proof options at scale without hauling refrigerators full of cans.
Brands & Roasters
Turn their drinks into kegs using the existing zero-proof draft supply chain, instead of building one from scratch.
From cold storage to your taps — palletized, planned, and on time.
