In Neuchâtel, Le Tonneau Joyeux and Kinaï have been developing a local, artisanal approach to beverages for several years. Behind these two brands lies a shared ambition: to offer authentic, healthier, locally produced drinks without ever compromising on taste.

Le Tonneau Joyeux SA, specializing in craft beers, and Kinaï Boissons Suisses Sàrl, creator of Swiss lemonades, share the same production philosophy. Their goal is to promote beverages made locally through a short supply chain approach while delivering a genuine tasting experience to consumers. Through their products, they aim to highlight local expertise and demonstrate that it is possible to produce more sustainably while maintaining exceptional quality.

Above All, a Human Adventure

As is often the case with artisanal ventures, the story of Le Tonneau Joyeux and Kinaï is also a human adventure marked by many memorable moments. Their early days were filled with recipes tested late into the night, spontaneous tastings with friends and family, and occasional failed attempts before achieving the perfect balance. Over time, the first small-scale trials evolved into a true local craft production.

Among the memories that have left a lasting impression on the team, one moment stands out. One day, while traveling by train, they noticed someone carrying their beverages without realizing that the creators of the product were sitting nearby. Seeing their bottles become part of people’s everyday lives was a simple, unexpected, and deeply moving experience.

The Choice of Glass: Quality and Sustainability

Choosing glass came naturally as part of Le Tonneau Joyeux and Kinaï’s approach. Far more than just packaging, it represents a true extension of their values and vision of artisanal products.

Glass helps preserve the full flavor and freshness of beverages without altering aromas or affecting the tasting experience. For both brands, this commitment to quality is essential: every recipe is carefully crafted, and the packaging must reflect the same level of care invested in the product itself.

This choice also reflects a strong commitment to sustainability. Infinitely recyclable, glass is a natural fit with their dedication to local and more responsible production. Beyond its environmental benefits, glass also offers an authentic and premium aesthetic that perfectly aligns with the identity of both brands.

Through their bottles, Le Tonneau Joyeux and Kinaï aim to convey a sincere, artisanal, and high-quality image, where every detail matters—from the beverage itself to the packaging that contains it.
