I have had loads of arguments over the years on this very subject, especially when you sell your beer to pub groups etc, there are millions of kegs out there and a lot but not all are very difficult to identify. <br />Micro breweries, why don't you attach a cable tie tag red or white, <br />clearly marking that only your own brewery picks them up. I for one realise the cost implications to yourselves and do leave them. But it's the landlord you want to charge. But I agree the big brewers and their delivery firms are greedy.

We are a distributor though, most brewers here don't charge us a deposit although I'm sure, hope, they do when dealing direct with pubs. <br />Brewers here have the same problem with the Macros picking up kegs and expecting a deposit to return them to the owning brewer.Kieran Haslett-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562970144894398803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-58680457335840569012012-02-12T10:23:57.006+00:002012-02-12T10:23:57.006+00:00Some of the casks I picked up had the orange SIBA ...Some of the casks I picked up had the orange SIBA stickers on, so there are still problems. And they were of course painted with our colours and clearly marked with our name. <br /><br />We also make clear on our invoices that we want the casks back and we may charge the publican if we don't get them back. But as has been pointed out if we actually did that I'm sure the pub would never buy from us again!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-34021131669547203052012-02-12T09:13:01.701+00:002012-02-12T09:13:01.701+00:00We've just started using the SIBA stickers on ...We've just started using the SIBA stickers on our casks which say only owning brewer is allowed to uplift.

If they moan, sue them. Make it part of the supply contract.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
