Beatson Clark have worked closely with Hip Pop to develop its new drinks bottle which is based on an Alpha Sirop pharmaceutical bottle normally used for medicines.

Unlike the original design, the bottle is tested to 3.0bar which makes it suitable for carbonated or fermented drinks.

The retro drinks bottle forms part of Beatson’s extensive standard range and can also be used for beers as it is available with both an MCA and a standard crown neck finish.

The amber drinks bottles contain over 60% recycled glass, making it a highly sustainable packaging option.

“We talked to Beatson Clark directly about the bottle and they’ve been great, super responsive!” said Emma Thackray, co-founder of Hip Pop. “When they were developing the bottle they took the time to find out what we wanted and involved us at all stages of the process. They sent us prototype drawings and we were able to play around with the sample bottle. They went out of their way to get our feedback and use it in the design of the bottle."

“The packaging is also important to us because kombucha is a health drink and we get lots of comments about the health benefits. Amber glass protects the contents from UV rays and is free from harmful chemicals or plastic liners, so it is the perfect choice for kombucha."

“Sales are going very well. Since the pandemic people are even more aware of their health, especially gut health. And the bottle helps us to get that message across.”

Hip Pop kombucha comes in four flavours: blueberry & ginger, strawberry & pineapple, apple & elderflower, and ginger & yuzu.
