"Derrick Gordy, business manager for Fizz Dispense Optimization Group in Adairsville, GA, says the industry is "still developing that trend of improved draft quality and diversification of draft offerings. I don't know if you'd call it a great [improvement], but it seems like we're doing a better job of it every day as time goes by. "Increasingly, Gordy says, Americans look at drinking draft beer as a sampling experience. "They're looking for something they don't have at home, something they can't get in the grocery or liquor store. Demand, I think, has driven this kind of variety. There are a lot of regional brewers, and the ones that don't have the high quality have fallen by the wayside in the last few years." Changes Gordy has seen over the last couple of years have been on the dispensing side. "Brewers have been brewing good beer for years here in the U.S. The pursuit now to dispense it and get it to the customer at that same level of quality is still probably in its early stages. The focus is on how to do things properly. But we're still a little bit on the uphill slope." According to Gordy, foamy beer wastes an average of 15 percent, or $10.50 per keg. At the rate of 25 kegs per month, that's $263. Flat beer, he adds, wastes an average of 10 percent, or $7 per keg -- to $175 per month at the same 25-keg rate. The basic idea is to ease the movement of draft beer from the kegs stocked in the back of the restaurant (for ease in deliveries) to bars, especially those in remote locations, such as dance floors. Now, operators can push beer nearly any distance they need to. "You're not limited by the length of run, or by having these short little boxes under-bar," Gordy says." Cheers Magazine, October 2005
"The system has served us well. Heck, I'm just thankful not having a huge (and dangerous) ramble of gas cylinders." Lance Wood, General Manager, Flat Branch Pub & Brewing
"I immediately saw a 6% drop in cost of purchased product, in addition to 100% increase on profit of draft beer sales. The Carbo-Draught® is everything it says it is. The immediate advantages I saw were safety, quality, convenience. I don't have to worry about my gas needs for my beer system in my restaurant."
