Comparing Commercial Draft Beer Systems


by Jeannie Chapman


If you are considering commercial draft beer systems in order to maximize profits and please customers, there are many points to consider. First of all, you need to decide what type of beer you want to serve. Next, you need to know the volume you serve, since the systems can be tailored to your precise needs. Finally, you need to check the prices asked for quality systems with service centers in your area.

Market research has shown that draft beer is a big draw and also that serving them perfectly chilled causes people to drink more. Properly handled drafts show more profit than the sale of bottled beers, especially if the equipment keeps the brew cold and foaming to a minimum. Too much foam can decrease profits by as much as a third.

In order to deliver a pint at the recommended 29 degrees that gives the finest experience, you really need a system tailored to your business. At this temperature, the brew is sure to please, foaming is almost eliminated, and you can claim to be delivering a state of the art product. The equipment must be clean and operating properly. Dirty faucets and tubing can collect deposits of yeast and sugars that can taint the taste of fine beers. The right company will train you and your staff in how everything should be done.

Most things you need to know can be learned online. European and American equipment differs in many respects, and the parts are not interchangeable. Some specialty beers like Guinness can't be served from the same line as Budweiser. A system can be sized to the amount of traffic your bartenders must handle, making it possible to choose exactly the right one for you.

You can also choose designs that fit your decor. Many of the parts are standardized and therefore interchangeable. Check out the styles of handle that are available to see how you can customize the look to your establishment. Why not celebrate the unique atmosphere that you have created with the perfect tap to pour that perfect pint?

You may feel that price is the most important feature, but it's not that simple. An expensive unit will cost more at first but may require less servicing and give more reliable service. If a unit will pay for itself in lower energy cost, more custom, and less repair, a higher initial price might be a bargain.

Any company that gets your business should have a service center in your area and be able to give you strong support. Installing the equipment properly, making sure it works as advertised, training all staff members in proper procedures, and having a quick response to calls for help are all part of necessary customer support.

Choosing among the commercial draft beer systems that abound in the industry takes some time and attention. Learn as much as you can about the subject, and check out your options to help you make a choice that will increase your profits and grow your reputation.
