The brewing giant hopes the move would help cut congestion outside its Westgate site and offer an environmentally-friendly way of using the discarded sediment and beer remnants from the bottom of its casks. Because pubs are encouraged to use their 72-pint firkins of beer within three days – during which time the beer is in its best condition – there is usually some wastage.
