# ABS Giveback Campaign

#### The ABS Giveback Campaign

#### For over 10 years, ABS Commercial has been dedicated to helping brewers and distillers grow and prosper and give back to our great industry. In 2020, we officially launched the ABS Giveback Campaign to support those impacted by COVID-19—and we haven’t stopped since! We love being able to provide the support, tools, and resources breweries and distilleries need to thrive.

*“We realize that the ABS Commercial Giveback campaign has made large impacts in various breweries across the country.  Whether it is a global pandemic or the day to day challenges of operating a brewery the assistance of the ABS consultative customer experience and helping hand during the giveback campaign spreads the love in our industry.  We look forward to being a valued vendor partner within the brewing industry for many years to come in whatever the situation and circumstance.”* 

**Kristie Nystedt, President & CEO of ABS Commercial**

ABS Commercial is celebrating ten years of being a leading national supplier in the craft brewing industry. For ten years, ABS has been dedicated to helping brewers grow, which is why they started a Give Back Campaign to help provide assistance to breweries impacted by COVID-19. Since April 2020, ABS Commercial has given away Keg Viking keg washers, valued at over $10,000, to eight lucky breweries.

The ABS Give Back Campaign is something that the members of the craft beer industry can look forward to, with no strings attached. It was a way to give back to *everyone,* not just ABS customers, which is why we kicked the campaign off by giving away an ABS Commercial Keg Viking Keg Washer. No matter the size of the brewery, a keg washer is a necessity. ABS wanted to give back with a tool that could achieve a higher level of success. For each giveaway, the Give Back Campaign has received about 2,000 brewery applications. Anyone who is employed by a brewery in the U.S. is eligible to enter the contest, no purchase necessary.

As an affiliate of Raleigh Brewing Company, ABS Commercial has roots in the craft brewing community. They’re a team of brewers and approach everything from that mindset. The Keg Viking is a state-of-the-art keg washer that provides fast, efficient cycle times to make the keg cleaning process as simple and thorough as possible. It is incredibly efficient, helping reduce headaches, increase productivity, and create substantial cost efficiencies.

ABS Commercial will continue to support craft brewers across the country through the Give Back Campaign for the foreseeable future.
