The bottle has been developed in conjunction with a local UK brewery and has passed all tests regarding the maintenance of the quality of the liquid.

It was developed following a number of enquiries from breweries around the world looking to differentiate their products and promote premium beers in an exclusive way.

The bottle is more expensive than glass but considerably cheaper than previous attempts, the company says. However,  higher volumes mean further cost reductions are possible.
