Beatson Clark Brewing Up a Storm Stateside
News release
24th February 2014
Leading UK glass manufacturer Beatson Clark is jetting off to America in April to showcase its bottle design expertise.
The company will be making its debut at BrewExpo America, the largest brewing trade show in the United States, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver on 9th and 10th April.
Beatson Clark, which produces high-quality bottles for a number of major UK breweries including Samuel Smiths, the Meantime Brewing Company and Thornbridge, will be exhibiting its unique range of bespoke bottles in a bid to win more brewing clients in the United States.
Last year Beatson Clark teamed up with the award-winning Brooklyn Brewery in New York to produce premium bespoke bottles for its collection of beers.
“The American craft beer sector is a very crowded marketplace and it’s essential that brands have stand-out appeal on shelf,” said Lynn Sidebottom, Sales and Marketing Director at Beatson Clark.
“This will be our first time attending BrewExpo America and we’re very enthusiastic about the opportunity to network with American breweries and showcase our design and production capabilities.
“If breweries don’t want a completely new design we offer the option of customising our standard bottles by embossing brewery names or logos onto finish moulds. Embossing is a more cost-effective alternative and can be produced in smaller volumes.”
BrewExpo America, in association with the Craft Brewers Conference, is presented by the Brewers Association. It is the only event that serves both packaging breweries and brewpubs.
The event is the leading trade show for craft brewers and exhibitors to build business relationships. This year it is expected to attract over 7,000 visitors.
