Beer in bulk
Reuse at aperitif time!
Stubbornly determined to go ever further in our quest for zero waste, Jean Bouteille is now also inviting us to the aperitif ! Every week, 39 million aperitifs are organised in France, 11% of which are with beer: a real tradition for the French, but it is also thousands of bottles of beer that end up in the bin at the end of this convivial moment. So much energy and resources used for bottles that could have been reused! However, the reuse of beer bottles is perfectly possible and some breweries have already been returning their bottles for a long time.
History & innovations: aiming for zero waste beer!
Since the appearance of craft breweries in the United States, the growler has also made its appearance and is now developing more and more in France. It allows you to take draft beer home. Surely one of the greatest dreams of any beer lover!
Committed to the circular economy, our team capitalised on our experience with zero waste to rethink the brewing container circuit as well. We wanted to broaden our positive impact and meet consumer expectations with new solutions for distributing fresh draught beer in growlers!

Launch of our crowdfunding campaign for our solution Oublong!
Our R&D teams have been working on the subject for more than a year to make it possible to serve draft beer in bulk in a fun, controlled and secure way. The solution is unveiled during our crowdfunding campaign. It is finally possible to drink without generating waste, thanks to our bulk beer dispenser combined with our Jean Bouteilles adapted to reuse and deposit.

Development of the Mini-station and launch of the "Save the Beer" mobilisation
During the confinement, the entire Jean Bouteille team invested its energy in the creation of a bulk beer fountain designed especially for bars and brewers: the mini-station to allow them to make take-away sales by becoming a bottler, on the growler principle.
Our first edition
2nd edition of "Save the beer".
We are re-launching the mobilisation during the second lockdown in order to face again the calls for help from bars, brewers and microbrewers! The aim? To allow them to maintain their activity thanks to the sale of draught beer.

Solidarity destocking operation in Lille
Following the 6-month closure imposed on bars, many kegs of beer have seen their due dates exceeded but the quality unchanged. We accompanied La Mousse Touch' in their operation to save these beers thanks to the mini-station and the Jean Bouteille growlers, with such success that the operation was multiplied in several establishments in Lille!
