MKE Brewing Introduces Crate Club
The first monthly Crate Club event will be held Wednesday, May 23rd 6-8PM at the 2nd St. location.
Milwaukee, WI. – May 21, 2018 – Milwaukee Brewing Company introduces the, MKE Brewing Crate Club which will kick-off Wednesday, May 23rd 6-8PM at the 2nd St. location. The Crate Club will allow the brewery avoid wasteful packaging and other materials, and will pass along savings directly to the customers.
Once a month, MKE Brewing invites all crate club members to bring their crates in to fill up and mix ‘n match with available bottles. Depending on seasonal availability, different bottled product varieties will be available each month, and may include occasional offerings from the destination local series.
In support of the values Milwaukee Brewing Co. (MKE) was founded on the MKE Brewing Crate Club is a continuation of the brewery’s, “Green Brewing” initiatives, and allows MKE to avoid wasteful packaging, fuel and other materials by providing bottled product straight off the line. Founder and Ceo, Jim McCabe describes the program as, “The build-a-crate program reflects back to a time when recycling was part of life. Returnable glass in permanent crates…that is how beverages made it to your grandparent’s home. Every grocery store…where today the charcoal and pet food is stacked…in the past had stacks of returnable cases headed back to a brewery or soda plant.”
Customers interested in becoming a Crate Club member, will need to purchase a recycled MKE Brewing crate at this month’s event for $5, and will gain access to all monthly Crate Club events to fill up their crate with 20 of the available bottles for just $15.
Member benefits include, but are not limited to:
- $5 Per Crate (each crate holds 20 bottles of beer)
- Fill up your crate with 20 of the available bottles for just $15
- Access to limited release beers
- Unique merch/apparel throughout the year
- Bring your MKE crate back and re-use each month
- Go Green with MKE!
“The build-a-Crate is like bulk shopping in an organic store…fresh and great values. We pass along the savings of packaging and shipping costs to you, and you get. EXACTLY what you want. You can mix the flavors that make sense to you.” – Jim McCabe
The first monthly Crate Club event will be held Wednesday, May 23rd 6-8PM at the 2nd St. location. The brewery will be running either beer bottling or canning production during the event, so customers will have the unique opportunity to see the brewery up and running!
