Maintain the Perfect Pour: Professional Tap Beer Service
Why Clean Beer Lines Matter:
Tap beer line cleaning is the secret ingredient to preserving the pristine flavor of your draft beer. When expertly dispensed and kept fresh, draft beer embodies the brewer's intended experience—clean, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable. While various factors like age, heat, and air can impact draft beer, the primary and preventable culprit disrupting flavor and aroma is poor hygiene.
The Consequences of Neglect:
Improper cleaning, from the coupler in the cooler to the faucet at the bar, can lead to significant flavor alterations in your beer—changes that no beer enthusiast would welcome. Persistent neglect of beer line hygiene will inevitably translate into dissatisfied customers, resulting in a loss of sales and the need for expensive beer line replacements. Staying proactive against these potential pitfalls is the key to consistently serving top-notch draft beer.

Risks of Hiring an Inexperienced Beer Line Cleaning Company
North Carolina man dies and two friends are left 'violently sick' after being 'poisoned' by toxic cleaner left in the beer lines at local bar
4 December 2023
What was supposed to be a laid-back night out with friends turned into a waking nightmare, as one North Carolina man died and two friends were hospitalized after drinking beer thought to contain poisonous chemicals.
Connor Sebastian, 31, of Winston-Salem, fell ill at Burke Street Pub shortly before his death. His drink was suspected to have been contaminated with beer line cleaner.
On November 9, a bartender called 911 around 8.20pm to report that a customer was 'violently vomiting' and 'would not get off the toilet.'
The caller added that two other customers were experiencing the same symptoms.
'All three of these people drank the exact same beer and immediately began vomiting. They said it was burning their throats and burning their mouths,' the caller said.
How Often Should Beer Lines Be Cleaned?
Cleaning Frequency and Tasks
These are standard recommendations no matter how much or how little beer is dispensed through the system. Bacteria is constantly growing, and stronger biofilms will take hold when less frequent cleanings are practiced. More aggressive cleaning schedules and practices may be needed for older systems, problematic systems, or when proper line cleaning practices have historically not been in place.
Every two weeks (14 days)
• Draft beer lines should be cleaned with a caustic line-cleaning chemical.
• All faucets should be completely disassembled and cleaned.
• All keg couplers should be scrubbed clean.
• All FOB devices (a.k.a. beer savers, foam detectors) should be cleaned in-line. Chemicals should be purged through the FOB and vented out of the FOB drain hose.
Quarterly (every three months)
• Tap beer lines should be de-stoned with an acid line-cleaning chemical or a strong chelator that is added to or as part of the alkaline chemical formulation.
• All FOB devices should be completely disassembled and hand-detailed (cleaned).
• All couplers should be completely disassembled and hand-detailed.
