The craft beer market is booming, and we’ve been busier than ever installing and maintaining draft beer systems. With so many establishments looking to serve the perfect pour, it’s crucial to understand the two most important factors in a draft system: temperature and gas.

Why Gas Matters in Draft Beer Systems

One of the most common questions we receive is how gas impacts draft beer. The answer? It’s everything. Proper gas blends ensure that each beer pours exactly as the brewmaster intended—maintaining the right carbonation, flavor, and texture.

Since every bar and restaurant has a unique concept and beer lineup, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to gas. We work closely with our clients to determine the right gas system for their needs, often collaborating with trusted partners in the gas dispensing industry to get it just right.

The Role of Temperature in a Perfect Pour

Even with the right gas blend, temperature control is essential for serving high-quality draft beer. Keeping beer at a consistent temperature from the cooler to the faucet prevents common issues like excessive foam, which leads to wasted beer and slower service.

Here’s why temperature matters:

  • Colder beer absorbs CO₂ more easily, maintaining proper carbonation.
  • Warmer beer releases CO₂ too quickly, causing excessive foam and profit loss.

Every bar setup is different, and we consider the space, layout, and budget before recommending the best refrigeration solution.
