UK: InBev has introduced a new dispense system for cask ale
InBev UK has introduced a new dispense system for cask ale. This will help licensees improve the standards of service, The Publican posted on January 20. The cylinder-less beer engine, which will be used to dispense Bass and cask Boddingtons is now rolling out following a successful trial.
The font will pump beer directly from the cellar through the python to the glass, with no beer left standing in a cylinder where it often sits and warms up in readiness for the next pint. While some liquid will still be left in the lines, the removal of the cylinder reduces this amount considerably.
Steve Kitching, managing director of on-trade sales at InBev UK, said: “Warm beer is the most common problem associated with serving cask ale correctly and accounts for more than 90 per cent of pints failing Cask Marque audits. The cylinder-less unit makes it possible for retailers to achieve Cask Marque recommended temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees C from the first pint.”
The font also has a raised tap, lifting the point of dispense above the bar to add to the “theatre of dispense”. Both branded and non-branded versions of the unit will be available, enabling licensees to rotate guest ales on the pumps.
The system will look quite similar to the dispense system in SA Brain’s flagship pub the Yard, in Cardiff. In that instance Brains’ retail director, Phillip Lay, commissioned raised point of dispense on the bar so that the customers would be able to see Brains’ beers being poured.
