the storing and
serving of beer
Craft beer has seen a surge in popularity in the past
ve years. As of 2017, there are over 4,000 breweries
in the US and Canada combined. Homeowners have
more choices in beer than ever before, and – no matter
what your favorite brew is – Perlick has the serving and
storing solution to keep beer brewery fresh for peak
enjoyment.
the anatomy of beer
There is a reason beer is now regarded in the same way ne wines are. A complex
blend of avors, aromas and brewing styles create a wide range of unique brews,
ranging from light, fragrant pilsners to bold, robust stouts. Here are the elements
that combine to make your favorite brews.
aroma
Determined by malt, grain and fermentation.
alcohol content
Beer ranges from less than 3% to just under 30% alcohol by volume.
carbonation
Carbon Dioxide is a by-product of fermentation.
color
Determined by the kilning of the malts. Can also depend on mashing, boiling and
fermentation.
f l avor
Determined by the malt, hopes and water used in the brewing process.
head
Produced by bubbles of carbon dioxide rising to the surface. Industry experts
recommend 1” to 1-1/2” head on most varieties.
all about kegs
Kegs are lled at the brewery and delivered directly to your local retailer, ensuring you’ll
be getting the freshest beer possible. Kegs are designed to protect beer from both air and
light, while still enabling rapid dispensing.
Knowing how much beer is in a keg is crucial when choosing a beer dispenser, as well as
for entertaining.

all about couplers
A keg coupler connects the Carbon Dioxide gas line (CO2) to the keg. The compressed gas powers
the coupler to draw out the beer from the keg. Dierent countries use dierent style couplers, so it
is crucial to have the right coupler for the specic brand you are going to be dispensing.
Because of height constraints, you must use a Loboy coupler for 1/6 barrels and slim 1/4 barrels.
Lo-boys are available in D and S Series, all other
series must use a standard keg coupler, therefore,
are only able to be used with short 1/4 barrels.
Please note - Macro brands like Miller and
Budweiser use D System keg couplers. Always
verify the coupler requirement for beers you wish
to dispense prior to purchasing.
