Full System Cleaning
Our Cleaning service focuses on both the interior and exterior of your system. Illinois requires biweekly beer line cleaning by law, and with our service you will be worry free from any of the problems (fruit flies, mold, yeast) that can arise from an improperly cleaned Beer System.
Beer Waste Management
Loss of beer/product is a huge issue in this industry, and it is important to us to clean your system in a manner that wastes the least amount of Product. Certain beers that sell more do not require the line to be cleaned as much, and all of our techs are trained to know which beer is more expensive than others. Beer is Important and so is Costs!
Inventory Rotation
We understand that you have a job too, and beer can get out of hand. Large Bars that have 20+ kegs or jumped beer lines may not realize that their rotation may be off. Many of the craft beers have an expiration date, some of which are displayed right on the tap handle. Its our job to help assist you in your inventory rotation, and certainly not tap any kegs without permission.
Line Maintenance
Keeping up with the line maintenance is important. We use Biodegradable cleaners to maintain the cleanliness of your lines, with a quarterly flush of stronger solution to ensure everything is flowing smooth. There are four types of bacteria that can grow in your lines if left uncleaned, as well as beer stone, film, and yeast build up. Our Maintenance will ensure non of this ever happens.
Pest Management
Fruit flies are inevitable in the bar industry. Chicago summers are hot and humid and make it the most important time for your cleaning to be on schedule. Dirty Faucets and beer drains can lead to a quick infestation of fruit flies that can be annoying, hard to get rid of, and lead to a loss of customers. We take preventative measures to make sure this will never happen.
24 Hour Emergency Service
Service rates start at $50 for us to come check out your issue. If it is something small we can try to help you solve the problem over the phone. However if you are a client of Bren’s Tap we take preventative measures to minimize emergency service that may occur during a busy bar time.
Beverage Consulting
The Chicagoland area is a large place with lots of culture. Certain beers are more enjoyed in certain areas. All of our techs are knowledgeable within the beer community, and within our team we can help you choose beer that may sell more in your area if needed.
Beverage Quality Control
We strive to use the best parts for dispensing your beer. Old faucets made from polished chrome or brass effect the quality of your beverage the most, because yeast collects on them much easier. We do not sell or use these parts on our installations and are happy to help bring your bar up to date for a reasonable cost.
Glycol Service
If you have a beer system with a remote cooler than you know your glycol unit is very important. Glycol units are designed to run 24/7. With our service we will optimize your unit and make sure it is running to the best of its ability, with routine glycol system service checks.
Beverage and Beer Line Installation
Every year there is more to drink on draft. We have years of experience installing beer and beverage lines from smaller local operations to large national brands with hundreds of lines. Your bar is in good hands with our beer line installation services.
