BREWING UP A NEW PRODUCT As consumers are starting to sway more towards using sustainable products, the UK brewing and hospitality market are starting to look for alternatives to their plastic products. Brewfitt rose to the challenge and have recently launched a brand-new sustainable badge made of glass. Although glass may seem an obvious choice, it presented a great deal of technical challenges to the team including installation design, customer safety and finding a durable quality print method. The first fonts complete with the sustainable badge started pouring to great acclaim in October. ‘We are passionate about our customer relationships and rising to their latest
challenges. As sustainability is becoming a huge part of the industries and our customers agenda, we are constantly working to ensure we can offer help and advice across our range of products to meet the changing demands. The glass badge is a great example of this.’ said Curtis Paxman, Joint Managing Director for Brewfitt.

MR FITZ’S ITALIAN ADVENTURE
Artisan Pizzeria, Wood Fire Dine are the latest operator to install Mr Fitz Aqua Spritz. The family run restaurant set within an historic 16th century building in Rothwell near Leeds wanted an alternative nonalcoholic drink solution to complement their fabulous range of oak-fired pizzas, and it is so far so good for the new pairing!
“Victoria and Mark have really embraced the concept of Mr Fitz Aqua Spritz for their business and have immediately seen the commercial benefits” said Kevin McKenna, Business Development Manager for Mr Fitz Aqua Spritz.
Owners Mark and Victoria Baber were initially wowed by the impressive range of over 25 Mr Fitzpatrick botanical flavours available and were keen to establish their first spritzed drinks menu with their customers. So much in fact that they sold out of a number of flavours in their first weekend! Soon replenished, they continue to enjoy all the benefits of owning a system including dispensing pure filtered still and sparkling water and reducing their bottle waste.
‘Their restaurant is set within a lovely historical site with limited space and so making a vast reduction in their bottle storage and waste disposal volumes has also really made an additional positive impact’.
