Important info...

Did you know that beer line cleaning is one of the most overlooked and neglected parts of draft beer system ownership?

Draft beer is a food product (aka liquid bread), and therefore, we should treat it no differently than any other food product.

The care and attention for handling food should be the same for draft beer systems.

BUT, here is the dirty secret you DON'T know about draft beer line cleaning management and regulations...

We DO NOT treat beer like food in California, and unfortunately, this is the standard for most of the country!

Beer line cleaning and management is an industry issue.

It's the draft beer industry's dirty little secret, and many people in the industry turn a blind eye to it.

We have a new blog post with lots of information about this - and how we can, together, correct this issue going forward.

Shout out to all 6 or 7 establishments in town that have all components of their beer system cleaned, not just the lines. 😁

Kudos to New York for instituting a Draft Beer Quality Program:

New York State Brewers Association Draft Beer Quality Certification Program was created to ensure that retailers are serving the best quality draft beer.

TL;DR: Store beer at 38º, then let it warm up a bit for best flavor.

I have a drinking problem, and it makes me order two beers at a time in bars and restaurants.

Interesting article. If I were a brewer, I wouldn't put much weight in scores on Ratebeer.com or UnTappd until the sample size of total raters is over 200 people. At that point, it is relevant data and should at least be considered.

E very once in a while, the discussions about rating sites like ratebee.com or Untappd rise. Are they useful? Are they crap? What to do with the ratings given...
