Have you seen the new Smith and Forge Hard Cider commercial? It's airing on television now. We installed the tap!
What are the causes for foamy beer?
Many times we get calls about this issue. Sometimes we are able to troubleshoot the foaming problem over the phone and it could be something as minor as a tapped warm keg. Pouring foamy beer can be costly and wasteful.
Here is a list of common foaming issues:
- Beer poured improperly
- Bad regulator
- Applied pressure is set too high
- Hot spots in line
- Use of non-insulated beer line
- Glycol machine is under rated for length of beer lines
- Tapped into a warm keg
- Walk-In Cooler malfunctioning
- Kinks, dents, twists or other obstructions in line
Be sure to call us when your next problem arises, we are here to help!

FACT: FLAVOR EMERGES WITH A BIT OF WARMTH
This is TRUE! We’ve all been stooped by advertising campaigns by Budweiser and Coors Light. The advertisement bottles are cold enough to drink when the mountains on the bottle turn from white to blue. Beer is actually best consumed warmer, around 46 to 50°F. You will normally see draft beer served between 38 and 42°F. Flavor and aroma are reduced when it is cold. You can warm the beer by cupping it in your hand for a couple minutes and your beer will be at the right temperature. Now you’ll actually taste the flavor of the beer.
We received a call that a restaurants ice tower was not getting frosty. the beer was pouring at the right temperature. We troubleshot the systems and found the problem. We gutted the tower and tightened all the nuts, gaskets, and lines. After we adjust the regulators, the tower began to frost within an hour. The glycol machine was set to 25 degrees F.
