Our History

NINKASI Rentals & Finance is proud to be a Supplier Associate Member of SIBA as well as a supporter of the London Brewers’ Alliance.

NINKASI Rentals & Finance directors, Andrew Thompson and Peter Godwin, between them revolutionised the way breweries procured, used and serviced casks and kegs with the founding of ECasks and Close Brewery Rentals in 2006/7.

The low entry cost, reduced procurement cycle, and cash flow benefits of high quality rented containers enabled breweries to grow easily and quickly thus helping craft beer sector to become the vibrant and diverse industry it is today.

NINKASI aims to remove another barrier to growing and innovative breweries by making high quality and flexible fermenting vessels available quickly, cost effectively, and on flexible terms. Take a look at our products to see what we mean!

And the name? NINKASI is the Sumerian Goddess of Beer which seemed appropriate!
