The European beer market is unique in both scale and structure. With a rich brewing heritage, thousands of breweries, and a distribution network largely managed by specialized distributors, this market demands smart, scalable logistics solutions. In this context, tankbeer is rapidly gaining ground – not only because of its advantages in quality control, but also due to the increasing need for sustainability and efficiency.
A Changing Market Demands Innovation
Urban environmental zones, stricter CO₂ regulations, and increasing pressure on working conditions are putting traditional distribution models under strain.
For many breweries and distributors, the key question is: how can we maintain service levels and delivery reliability while also complying with tighter regulatory requirements?
The Reality: Flexible and Cost-Efficient
Tank beer is often perceived as an expensive solution – requiring specialized vehicles, complex installations, and offering limited flexibility. Duotank proves this doesn’t have to be the case. We have developed lightweight, flexible tank beer delivery systems specifically designed for seamless integration into existing distribution networks – making them ideal for European distribution partners.
A major added benefit of these flexible delivery solutions is the ability to enable decentralized ‘last mile’ tank beer deliveries. By supplying filled transport tanks to existing distribution centers, tank beer no longer has to be transported exclusively from the brewery. Instead, a decentralized logistics model emerges where beer is stored and distributed locally – faster, more efficiently, and with a smaller environmental footprint.
Combined Transport: Crates, Kegs, and Tank Beer
Our systems allow crates, kegs, and tank beer to be delivered in a single shipment – using the same vehicle. This maximizes load capacity, reduces the number of trips, and increases the number of deliveries per route. For large distributors, this means immediate efficiency gains without sacrificing quality or reliability.
Fully Certified and Digitally Supported
Duotank’s systems are MID-certified, cloud-connected, and equipped with exclusive software that allows real-time monitoring of beer quality across the entire supply chain. This gives breweries and distributors full control over product conditions and logistics performance – essential in a market where quality and brand reputation go hand in hand.
Scalable and Future-Proof
Whether you’re supplying dozens of hospitality venues daily or covering entire regions, our combined tank beer solutions prepare you for the future of beer distribution. Lower emissions, reduced costs, greater flexibility – all without the need to drastically overhaul your fleet or operations.
Tank beer is no longer a niche solution, but a realistic, scalable step toward a sustainable, modern distribution practice.
