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.

Over the past several weeks, we've looked back at the last century to see how far we've come in the world of bar and beverage. From the 1917 wine vintages in Europe to cocktail trends through the decades, it's been fun reminiscing about what bars were serving 100 years ago. But now we'd like to take a look at why Perlick is here and the reasons we're still in business after all these years. Let's take a look back at 100 years of bar and beverage equipment innovations.

As the entire country gathers around the television on Super Bowl Sunday, we’ll all have our rooting interests. Some will be pulling for their favorite team and others will be rooting for the host to announce, “The wings are ready!” However, a good number of us will have far more interest in the commercials than the football game itself. Ask someone about their favorite play in the Big Game or their favorite commercial and we bet they’ll recite the advertisement first!

Nothing says the arrival of summer like a crisp bottle of rosé. And according to a report from Beverage Dynamics, this trend is growing exponentially across the United States. The report states that rosé wine sales increased more than 30 percent in 2015, and wines priced at more than $11/bottle gained nearly 60 percent in volume. Even trend-setting and reporting publications like Vanity Fair are claiming rosé as the "next thing" in wine.

Wines by the glass are an important part of any beverage program, particularly because they don't require customers to make full commitments to a bottle. But what are the benefits received by the restaurant or foodservice operation, and what are the challenges? For starters, the mark up on wines-by-the-glass is greater than the markup an operation typically sees on the whole bottle. This means wines-by-the-glass can be more profitable. But they also come with a plethora of challenges.

Maybe a bar operator wants to include storage in the underbar area where it will be in line with 30-inch high equipment or work surfaces. Maybe an owner is retrofitting an existing underbar because adding bottled ciders to the beverage list requires more refrigeration capabilities in a limited space. Maybe a designer wants to use low height cabinets during the planning and designing phase of a new bar. Now this is all possible with low-height back bar refrigeration and storage from Perlick.

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."
