  1. One Hundred Years of Bar and Beverage Innovation

    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.

    See what we've been up to. Check out our new video, and take a short journey through 100 years of innovation in the bar and beverage industry.

  2. An Easy Way for Bars to Increase Their Tap Selections

    Bars and brewpubs are facing more and more pressure to provide a wider range of beers on tap. This is directly related to the craft beer movement, which has created a growing consumer demand to try different styles of beer made by different breweries. This, in turn, has created some challenges for bars and restaurants.

    One of the biggest obstacles faced by bar owners and operators is the logistics of serving these wide tap selections. With a traditional, glycol cooled system, beer must be transported from the kegs to a beer tower that is often at a distance from the walk-in where the keg is stored. This can be problematic.

    An alternative is to use an air-cooled system that runs directly through the wall from the walk-in cooler to the taps on the other side of that wall. This requires less distance for the beer to travel, less tubing for the beer to travel within on its way to the faucet, and less need to run and conceal those lines within the operation. At the end of the day,

    In low margin businesses like food, beverage, and hospitality, operators cannot afford to miss out on profits. Even worse, they can't afford to watch those profits go down the drain. Literally.

  4. Which Perlick Forward Sealing Faucet Is Right for My Bar?

    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

  5. Save Space and Add Selection with a Single Beer Dispensing Unit

     

    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.

  9. The Importance of Serving Beer at the Right Temperature

    The Importance of Serving Beer at the Right Temperature

    Beer. Suds. Ale. Stout. Nectar of the gods. The reason we know god loves us… No matter what we call it or how it's used in famous quotations, beer comes in many different styles and varieties. So if not all beers are created equal, why do bartenders often serve them that way?

    With the growing craft beer industry taking up more and more of the market share, it's important for bar operators to understand the science behind beer and its variety of flavors. At the same time, it's obviously also important to consider customer preferences no matter what they might be. Let's start by looking at a two of your customers:

    Macro Mike
    Macro Mike just got off work. It's Friday. It takes him 10 minutes to get to the bar, and he walks in at 5:11. He wants Coors Light, and he wants it COLD. Heck, he even wants it in a frosted mug. After all, it's 95º in the shade.
