The alcohol is removed from the beer and, together with water from the brewer's source and glycerine, brewed into hand gel.
Emptying tank beer
The brewer will first visit the catering industry with beer tanks, loose kegs are currently too small. A tank often has a capacity of 500 or 1000 liters. "Not an amount that you drink with a few friends," says the spokesperson.
After the corona crisis, the empty tanks will be refilled for free. The brewer says it also helps the catering industry in other ways. For example, they can request deferment of payment of supplies and loans.
The first supplies are delivered free of charge to healthcare providers who need the disinfectants the most.
