Commercial Draft Beer Systems for the Perfect Pour Every Time
Commercial beer tap systems are essential fixtures for bars, breweries, and other establishments serving draft beer. These systems include kegerators, dispensers, and other components designed to store beer kegs under optimal conditions, ensuring that every pint poured is fresh and perfectly chilled. Whether you operate a bustling bar or a cozy pub, having the right commercial draft beer system can significantly enhance the efficiency and appeal of your establishment.
Why is it crucial to invest in a high-quality commercial draft beer system? The answer lies in the details. A well-designed system not only preserves the taste and quality of the beer but also streamlines bartending operations, leading to improved customer satisfaction and higher sales.
At Eleven36, we understand your business's unique needs and are dedicated to helping you find the perfect system for your bar so that cold beer never runs out.
The Beer Necessities: Tap System Design
There are three different types of commercial draft beer systems to choose from:
- Air-Cooled Systems: The most budget-friendly solution, this draft beer system circulates cold air inside the cooler and draft lines to keep your beer cold at the point of dispense.
- Direct Draw System: A Through-the-Wall system is a popular choice for bars with cooler and keg storage close to the tap. The most common option is using short beer lines to minimize waste.
- Long Draw Systems: If your beer setup covers 25+ feet, this is the setup you need. It keeps the beer keg in the walk-in cooler, and cooling agents flow through the trunk line to ensure cold brew reaches customers. Remote beer systems are more expensive and complex, but it's the way to go if your kitchen setup requires covering longer distances.
Our kegerators are thoughtfully designed with a refrigerated base and top-mounted dispensers, providing an all-in-one solution for storing and serving draft beer. These units accommodate full-size kegs underneath, keeping them at a cooler temperature until they are ready to be served. Some of our models also offer additional shelf space for cans, ingredients, and other essentials, optimizing your bar space and enhancing operational efficiency.
The seamless integration of refrigeration unit, storage, and dispensing capabilities means quicker restocking when a keg runs out and better organization behind the bar. This design supports efficient bartending and creates a cleaner, more orderly workspace, making it easy to serve customers their favorite beer.
Raise the Beer with Great Dispensers
Eleven36 offers a range of tap systems with varying numbers of dispensers, from single-tap units to those with up to four taps. More dispensers translate to a greater variety of beer on tap, allowing you to cater to diverse customer preferences and effectively rotate seasonal brews or custom draft beer. This variety can boost customer satisfaction, encouraging repeat visits and attracting new patrons who appreciate the broad selection.
More options on tap mean happier customers and increased foot traffic, directly contributing to higher sales and a lively, welcoming atmosphere in your establishment.
Size Does Matter in Draft Beer Systems
Our tap systems come in various sizes and can hold between one and five kegs, with 1-4 door options beneath the counter. The size of your tap system should align with your bar's layout and capacity needs. Larger systems enable you to serve various beers, satisfying a broader range of customer tastes.
Assess the number of taps and capacity you need. Ensure your bar has sufficient space to accommodate the chosen system while allowing bartenders to work comfortably. Proper planning helps maintain a smooth workflow and enhances the overall customer experience.
Happibeer Customers Equal Increasing Sales
A well-chosen tap system can elevate the ambiance of your bar, creating a professional and inviting atmosphere. The visual appeal of having handles on a tap system can enhance the presentation of beer, making it more enticing to customers. This is particularly advantageous for breweries specializing in craft beers, where presentation plays a pivotal role in sales.
By investing in a high-quality tap system, you can improve the look of your bar and drive more sales by attracting customers who appreciate a polished, professional setup.
Cleaning & Maintenance to Beer in Mind
Regular maintenance of your tap system is vital to prevent mold buildup and ensure that every beer poured is of the highest quality. A clean beverage system significantly enhances the taste and presentation of your beer, leaving a lasting impression on your customers.
We recommend cleaning your tap systems thoroughly at regular intervals. You should also:
- Flush the lines with a suitable cleaning solution. A special beer line cleaner is a great way to prevent mineral deposits or biofilm buildup on stainless steel beer lines.
- Disassemble and sanitize components.
- Check for any wear and tear that might need attention.
Consistent upkeep will keep your commercial kegerator running smoothly and maintain the integrity of your beer.
