Carlsberg space-saving dispenser will be ‘step-change’ for bars

From: FoodBev

Carlsberg UK has developed a space-saving beer dispense system that it has claimed will be ‘a step-change in the availability of quality draught beer in the UK on-trade’.

The compact solution, called DraughtMaster, allows restaurants and bars with limited space to stock premium lager and craft beer of consistently high quality. DraughtMaster requires only water, a power supply, drainage and space for installation, usually within the bar or drinks service area.

Designed and refined by Carlsberg over ten years, the advanced technology uses 20-litre PET kegs, replacing Co2 with an in-built air compressor. The system features an easy self-cleaning system and a simple modular structure to stock or rotate up to six draught beers, delivering a consistent and cost-effective serve.

Carlsberg UK vice-president on-trade Per Svendsen said: “DraughtMaster is one of the biggest innovations in the on-trade for decades, and is a game-changer for venues serving low to medium volumes of beer. The system delivers multiple benefits including fresher beer, higher yield, easy cleaning and the opportunity to offer more choice to consumers in the on-trade. Furthermore, we will now finally remove the hassle of Co2 cylinders and empty kegs.”

Added benefits of the DraughtMaster include a significantly increased beer shelf-life of 31 days – compared to 5-7 days for a traditional steel keg – as well as a specialist air compression system to ensure that every pour is the same, with no oxygen contact throughout the process; reduced waste; a semi-automatic cleaning system; and lower demands on space.

The current Carlsberg UK DraughtMaster portfolio currently consists of Brooklyn Lager, Poretti 3, Poretti 9, Carlsberg Export, Shed Head, and Grimbergen Blonde, with more of the brewer’s premium brands scheduled to come onboard in early 2017.
