## Products & services

- **Pay-Per-Fill** — Pooled-keg model where a brewery pays a fee each time a keg is filled and shipped, drawing from a shared fleet. Locked-in rates, no upfront deposits, no lost-keg fees, no long-term contract. Ships across the lower 48.
- **Flex Rental (TruFlex)** — Flexible keg rental at a fixed rate with no hidden or return costs; brewers scale keg counts up or down, with short-term (about 4 months) and longer (about 18 months) options and free custom branding.
- **Rent-to-Own / Lease-to-Own** — Multi-year lease (up to roughly 8 years) with buyout options, letting breweries build equity in their fleet over time.
- **Sale & Leaseback** — Keg Logistics buys a brewery's existing keg fleet, returns the capital, removes keg debt from the balance sheet, and leases the same kegs back on a single monthly rate.
- **Export Keg Program** — One-way stainless steel export kegs (30L or sixtel, USA D-valve or EURO S-valve), RFID-tagged for tracking, with Keg Logistics handling recovery of empties in the destination country.
