For Bars, Restaurants & Hotels

Draft Line Cleaning

The beer that leaves your taps should be as good as the beer that arrived in the keg. We make sure it is — reliably, every two weeks.

Why It Matters

Clean Lines, Honest Beer

Every draft line is a dark, wet tube that beer sits in all day. Left alone, it grows yeast, bacteria, mold, and beer stone — a mineral crust that coats the walls. The result reaches the glass as sour or "off" flavors, cloudy pours, and endless foaming that wastes product. Your guests may not know why a beer tastes flat or funky, but they taste it, and they order fewer of them.

Better Beer

A properly cleaned line delivers beer the way the brewery intended — clear, crisp, and full-flavored. The difference is immediate and your regulars notice.

Less Waste

Clean lines pour cleanly. Less foam means fewer half-glasses poured down the drain — and over a busy month, that saved keg volume adds up.

Real Hygiene

This is food safety, plain and simple. Regular cleaning keeps your system to standard and protects both your guests and your license.

Simple by Design

How the Service Works

The same easy, no-surprises approach we bring to events — just aimed at your tap wall instead of a party.

01

Free Audit

We start with a no-obligation inspection of your system: number of taps, line lengths, coupler types, and the current state of your setup. You get an honest report, no strings attached.

02

Your Schedule

We agree on a fixed rhythm — every two weeks is the industry standard for good reason. It goes in the calendar so you never have to think about it again.

03

We Clean & Check

We arrive on time, run a full chemical cleaning cycle through every line, inspect couplers, faucets, and seals, and flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.

04

Documented

You get a record of every visit — what was cleaned, what was checked, what we found. Useful for your own standards, and for any health inspection.

Why us, and not the distributor? Many venues rely on whoever installed the system, and cleaning often slips through the cracks. We do only this — reliably, on schedule, with one familiar face each visit. That's the gap we close.

Good to Know

Service Questions

The details bar owners ask about most.

How often should lines be cleaned?
The industry standard is every two weeks. Some high-volume venues go weekly. Anything longer than two weeks and you start tasting the buildup — we'll recommend the right cycle for your traffic.
What does the free audit include?
We inspect your whole draft system — taps, lines, couplers, and faucets — check the current condition, and give you an honest report. No obligation, no pressure. If your lines are in good shape, we'll tell you.
Do you work around our hours?
Yes. We schedule cleanings before opening or during quiet periods so your service is never interrupted. The whole point is that you barely notice we were there — except in the glass.
What kind of venues do you serve?
Bars, restaurants, hotels, breweries, event venues — anywhere with draft beer on tap. Whether you have 4 taps or 40, the principle is the same.
Do you offer contracts or one-off cleanings?
Both. Most clients prefer a maintenance contract with a fixed schedule for peace of mind, but we're happy to start with a single cleaning so you can see the difference first.
You launch in 2027 — can we get on the list now?
Absolutely. Reach out and we'll book your free audit for launch. Early clients get priority scheduling and our early-bird terms.
