When it comes to back bar and underbar refrigeration, options mean everything. From color to door design to temperature control, finding the right bar refrigeration unit can increase bar efficiencies, allow for more accurate beverage storage, and ultimately increase the productivity and profitability of the bar. Essentially, your bar refrigeration needs to "fit."

That's why Perlick decided to create a new 48-inch back bar and underbar refrigeration unit that actually fits in a 48-inch space. With new front venting bar refrigeration with exhaust below the refrigeration doors, our units are as condensed as possible.

The new 48-inch front venting bar refrigerators from Perlick contain stainless steel tops, ends, and interiors, as well as the back and base. Compressors come with a five-year warranty, and the unit as a whole includes a one-year parts and labor warranty.

Options really do mean everything, and Perlick front venting bar refrigeration comes with dual zone temperature

Just over 100 years ago, Perlick was founded in a small shop on Reed Street here in Milwaukee. Over the course of the last century, we've introduced mechanical refrigeration to the industry, created the first remote beer system that can carry beer 100 feet, and have evolved into an industry leader in commercial bar and beverage equipment. And we have the Best-In-Class Awards to prove it.

Find out which bar and beverage solutions are right

It's your choice. When designing your bar with maximum throughput in mind, you get to decide the features, the quality, and the configuration. These choices will ultimately determine how efficient your bar will be, how productive your staff will be, and how profitable your operation will be.

MODULAR BARS

If your project is new construction or a complete remodel and there is no existing bar, a modular bar is a great factory assembled solution that can save both time and money. Look for a modular bar that is made with a heavy gauge frame that also provides easy access to service utilities and beverage lines. Good modular bar systems like Perlick's can fit straight, round, or curved applications in a way that every piece of the puzzle will fit.

PREASSEMBLED UNDERBAR

Vermouth. A classic almost mystical spirit that experienced its heyday in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its versatility is limited only by the bartender's imagination, as it works in cocktails ranging from the Martini to the Manhattan to the Negroni. But to understand why vermouth is making a comeback, you first have to know why it lost favor in the first place.

During the peak of its popularity, vermouth was all of the highest quality, explained Adam Ford in his new book, VERMOUTH: The Revival of the Spirit that Created America's Cocktail Culture. After World War II, though, "almost all producers began taking short cuts that decreased the quality and flavor of vermouths."

Later, as we moved through the remainder of 20th Century, vermouth experienced another set back in terms of how it was actually stored. Vermouth

Perlick's range of forward sealing faucets are the most sanitary beer and wine faucets on the market. They feature a revolutionary ball and floating O-ring design that eliminates the need for a valve shaft. This leads to cleaner dispensing because the beer and wine are not exposed to air.

For customers, this means better tasting beverages without safety concerns. For operators, handle levers don't stick, and there's no build up of mold and bacteria in the body of the faucet. But which model of Perlick's forward sealing beer faucets is right for your bar or foodservice establishment? Let's take a look at the available designs:

630SS FORWARD SEALING BEER FAUCET

Perlick's 630SS Forward Sealing Faucet is made with food grade 304 stainless steel. It was introduced last year with a patented forward-sealing design. With fewer parts than conventional faucets, users see improved reliability and fewer service calls when they make the switch to the 630SS. This easy-to-clean faucet

Mixing ice cream with alcohol can be a tricky endeavor. First of all, you need the right equipment behind the bar to make it happen. Second, you need the right menu strategies and recipes. Finally, you need the type of consumer interested in this unusual style of cocktail. And apparently this is happening because boozy floats and alcoholic ice cream drinks are currently trending.

Summer is often a great time for ice cream cocktails for obvious reasons. In 2017, however, it's even more popular. Mixing ice cream with spirits is making an enormous comeback in both "new American" restaurants and prohibition-style cocktails bars from Washington, D.C. to The Westendorff.

Let's take a look at three of the most

Does your bar lack space and beer selection? In many cases, these commodities go hand-in-hand. Operators want more space, and today's customers are requiring more and more selections.

Thanks to the new Wall Mount Beer Dispenser from Perlick, both are possible. This unit comes in any length up to 96 inches and can hold up to 32 different faucets. By adding additional units, the number of beers an establishment can offer is endless. And it doesn't just have to be beer. Operators can add ciders, carbonated waters, and other beverage options that will satisfy a wider range of customers.

Because the unit is mounted on the wall, it frees up premium, customer-facing bar space. Cleaning is also easy, and the Wall Mount Beer Dispenser comes standard with Perlick's Forward Sealing Stainless Steel Faucets that prevent beer from exposure to outside air.
