IICL 6 quality – a guarantee of reliability

The IICL 6 designation is based on the strict criteria of the Institute of International Container Lessors. This category includes containers in excellent technical condition, still capable of ocean transport. In practice, this means they show no structural damage, the doors seal perfectly, the floor is solid and the entire box is watertight. IICL 6 is synonymous with safety – in such a container you can transport sensitive cargo or store valuable stock long-term without worries about moisture or mechanical defects.

Elegant RAL 7016 color

The anthracite grey shade RAL 7016 is among the most popular choices for its timeless appearance. The dark tone looks professional, integrates easily into both industrial and urban environments, and does not show common dirt. In brewery operations it also supports an impression of precision and style, whether you use it as a warehouse, taproom or technology unit.

Standard 4-bar opening and 10x Air Vents

The four-bar door locking is mechanically durable and intuitive – you can handle it even with gloves on and it holds firmly on every trip. Ten ventilation openings placed around the perimeter of the walls ensure natural air circulation, which limits condensation and mold growth. You will appreciate this especially when storing malt, hops or finished beer, where a stable microclimate is key.

Use of the shipping container in brewing

These decommissioned 6m containers with standard 4-bar opening and 10x air vents represent an ideal universal solution for brewing. Thanks to their robust steel construction, weather resistance and excellent condition after light use, they offer a combination of reliability and flexibility. Whether you are looking for space for storing raw materials, mobile transport of finished products, or a base for conversion into a stylish beer bar, these containers will meet your requirements with ease.

Who it is suitable for

Decommissioned 6m containers are suitable for a wide range of brewing entities. They appeal to small craft breweries looking for additional space, medium-sized breweries expanding production, as well as start-up entrepreneurs in the beer industry who need an affordable and mobile solution. They are suitable for brewers, festival organizers, beer bar owners and anyone who appreciates practicality and quick implementation without the need for building permits.

Possible uses

6m containers find versatile application in brewing. They can be used for safe storage of raw materials and finished products, efficient transport between operations, or as a basis for creative conversion. Their standardized dimensions facilitate handling and transport by truck, rail or ship. The ten ventilation openings ensure natural air circulation, which is key for preventing mold and maintaining stable conditions.

Storage options

Thanks to the solid lockable construction with four bars, the containers offer safe storage in all weather conditions. The stainless floor and durable walls protect the contents from moisture and unauthorized access. The ventilation openings can be closed if necessary, for example to create a dark and stable environment for beer maturation. The interior can easily be equipped with racks, shelves or cooling units for maximum efficiency.

What can be stored in brewing

In the container you can safely store all raw materials essential for beer production. Bags or barrels of malt, packaged hops and yeast will stay dry and protected from light. You can also place clean crates, bottles, cans, KEG barrels, labels and packaging material here. Storage of cleaning agents, spare parts for brewing technology or seasonal equipment is also suitable. Finished beer in bottles or barrels will find excellent conditions here for short- and medium-term storage, especially after adding insulation and cooling.

How much fits in a 20-foot

A standard 6m container provides approximately 33 m³ of internal volume. When storing KEG barrels with a volume of 50 liters, about 80 to 90 pieces fit in neatly arranged rows, depending on the arrangement. For bottles in crates of 20, you can count on hundreds of crates – roughly 500 to 600 crates with two-tier storage. 25 kg bags of malt can be stacked on up to 12 pallets, giving you a capacity of several tons of raw material. These values vary depending on the specific arrangement, but it is always a highly efficient use of space.

Transport options

6m containers are structurally adapted for safe transport of cargo worldwide. Thanks to standard corner fittings, they can easily be loaded onto a truck, train or ship. When transporting brewery products, the risk of cargo damage is eliminated – the solid construction withstands impacts and shocks. They can be used as mobile warehouses that you simply move between the production facility and the distribution point or festival.

What to transport in brewing

In the container you can transport finished beer in KEG barrels, bottles or cans. It also works great for distributing promotional materials, stand equipment for beer festivals, tools and mobile tap systems. When expanding a brewery, you can safely transport tanks, piping and other technologies in it. Special attention deserves the transport of hop aroma – in a closed space it remains protected from degradation. It is also possible to transport finished beer sets for partner restaurants.

Conversion options

Thanks to the robust base and standard dimensions, decommissioned containers are a popular choice for brewery conversions. They can be transformed into a microbrewery, stylish taproom, tasting room, chilled warehouse, quality control laboratory or mobile bar. Modifications range from simple insulation and cooling installation to complex design interiors with windows, doors and lighting. The 10x air vents facilitate the integration of ventilation systems for the brewing operation.

What can be converted in brewing

• Mobile microbrewery – a complete brewhouse inside allows beer production at any location.
• Beer bar / tap wall – with taps, cooling and seating you create an original atmosphere.
• Tasting room – for presentations and tastings right at the source.
• Chilled beer warehouse – with insulation and a cooling unit you extend the freshness of products.
• Laboratory – for microbiological tests and quality control.
• Pop-up stand for festivals – a mobile sales point with minimal logistics costs.
• Staff facilities – office, changing room or relaxation room.
• Packaging and raw materials warehouse – fitted with racks for maximum organization.

Advantages

The main advantage is incredible variability. From a single container you can create a fully functional operation within a few weeks. The steel construction ensures safety and resistance to theft, fire and weather conditions. The absence of a building permit for mobile placement saves time and money. Standardization means easy transport and worldwide compatibility. Low acquisition costs compared to conventional construction, easy maintenance and the possibility of rental or resale make the container an economically advantageous choice.

Other uses in brewing

Beyond the main operation, the containers are great as:

• Training room for brewing courses.
• Warehouse for archival and special beers.
• Mobile shop for beer souvenirs and clothing.
• Beer aging in barrels – thanks to the possibility of temperature and light regulation.
• Quarantine space for testing new recipes.
• Facilities on beer trails and tourist routes.

Mobility

The ability to easily relocate a container is key. An equipped microbrewery can be sent to a festival, wedding or neighboring city within a single day. It is not tied to a permanent structure – after the event it returns to the depot or continues to the next stop. In brewing this opens up completely new distribution models and customer reach.

Recommendations

Before purchasing, consider the primary purpose. For malt storage, choose a container with good ventilation and consider installing a dehumidifier. For a mobile bar, it is necessary to plan the electrical, water and waste distribution. When converting to a microbrewery, consult the statics and technology layout with a specialist. Regularly check the door sealing and paint condition so the container serves you for many years. Take advantage of the possibility of connection to standard power sources – often a regular 230 V socket is sufficient.

Ideas

How about creating a traveling beer festival with several containers, each dedicated to a different beer style? Or converting a container into a barrel filling station located right in the hop field? Maybe you are looking for stylish facilities for glamping with draught beer? Containers can be connected into modular assemblies and thus expand capacity. Imagination knows no bounds – and that is exactly what makes decommissioned 6m containers so attractive for modern brewing.
