It sounds like the unicorn of the bar and beverage world, but there is a beer faucet that increases profits and customer satisfaction at the same time. The Push Back Creamer from Perlick is a new option that allows operators to pour the perfect pint with just the right amount of foam every time. We've already established how much you can save with the right beer system by limiting the amount of beer wasted through excess foam, but by following the right guidelines with the right equipment, it's also possible to increase guest enjoyment.

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.

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.

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. Beer programs can be great profit centers in the food and beverage industry. They can serve as entertainment centers that serve up the perfect pints of beer. They affect the experience you provide and ultimately your bottom line.

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.

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.

Whether you're a brand new brewpub in Colorado's Front Range or are looking to replace your beer dispensing towers in one of the West Coast's tried and true microbreweries, Perlick has a new line of beer dispensing draught towers that will make an instant impact in your establishment. Having the right piece of beer dispensing equipment can add character and ambiance to your bar or restaurant, which will make beer sampling a more memorable experience for the beer lovers who visit your establishment. And when those memories are positive, those visitors will return.

Taking pride in your beer is a good thing. Whether you draw ornate designs in your Guinness foam or simply serve beer at the right temperature, we're looking for people like you to share your perfect pour in our Perlick Perfect Pour contest.

The Guinness Book of World Records claims there is no other place on earth where a beer aficionado can find more beers on tap. It’s been named one of the top 1,000 places in the country to visit before you die. For us, the Great American Beer Festival sounds like paradise. Every fall, craft brewers from around the country, and visitors from around the world, gather to celebrate the best that American beer has to offer. There's a reason the Great American Beer Festival is the “premier U.S. beer festival and competition.”

Baseball and drinking beer. These two American pastimes have gone hand-in-hand over the last 100 years. But the relationship between baseball and beer has had its ups and downs. In the late 1800s, the National League kicked teams out of the league for selling beer. Today, you can’t go one pitch without seeing beer advertisements.

All over America, summer revolves around great weather, captivating entertainment, and of course, delicious food and beverage. Name the food, you can likely find it at an amusement park, state fair, or music festival: deep-fried Twinkies, beer-battered bacon-wrapped brats, ice cold beer. Summer festivals bring in huge crowds over several days or weeks during the season. And if there’s one thing these folks want to do, it’s eat and drink.

With their lower initial cost and ease of maintenance, air-cooled beer systems could be an attractive and cost effective option for many operations. Perlick is excited to announce three new factory engineered, air-cooled beer system options. The one that is perfect for your operation will depend on the proximity of your bar to your walk in cooler, the number of beers you want to serve and your style preference.

It’s been a long day, and your customers are heading into your bar for a nice cold beer. But when the bartender pulls the pint, what's supposed to be a refreshing beverage pours as a glass filled with foam. The reason is because the beer line is running too warm, and the negative effects are numerous. As we get into the heart of summer, warmer temperatures can impact not only your customers’ experience, but also your bottom line. While most 16 ounce beers should have about 2.25 ounces of head, any more than that will leave your customers feeling cheated.

Many holidays have an iconic character associated with them. Christmas has Santa Claus. Valentine’s Day has Cupid. Cinco de Mayo has the bartender. Much like St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo is both a cultural celebration and sales enhancer for bars and restaurants. We know what we do on Cinco de Mayo, but why exactly are we celebrating?

Ever walk into a bar or restaurant, glance upon the massive beer tap list covering hundreds of ales and lagers, and after an hour of studying, decide on that same Irish Stout you always order? There’s an inexact science to curating a beer menu that not only meets the demands of your customers, but maximizes the profitability of your bar. But can there be such a thing as too many beer taps in your bar?

If you were in Washington D.C. for the annual Craft Brewers Conference, you probably left encouraged by the enthusiasm, innovation, and dedicated talent we have in the beer industry. This was certainly made evident in the Craft Brewers Conference 2017 State of the Industry Address. Delivered by the Brewers Associations director, Paul Gatza, and chief economist, Bart Watson, the address highlighted both the good news and the bad news throughout the beer industry, and it was summarized in a recent article from Brewbound.
