Bartending Basics: Draft Beer Temperature Control

by Kanyon Walker

Maintaining proper and constant draught beer temperature is imperative for storage, taste, and appeal.

The fresher your draft beer is when served, the better. Use your oldest beer first, and make sure not to stock new deliveries in front of or on top of barrels already in the cooler.

Temperature

Because draft beer is not pasteurized, it needs to be kept between 36 and 38 degrees. If stored beer gets above 45 degrees, it can turn sour and cloudy. It's very important to have proper refrigeration storage at your bar or establishment.

Beer should be put in the cooler immediately upon delivery. Your cooler should be used exclusively for draught beer, not for foods. There are two reasons for this:

The cooler is often opened numerous times throughout the day. This can raise beer temperature.

Unpleasant food odors, drainage or fungus growth can adversely affect the taste of the draught beer.

Be able to check beer temperature by placing accurate thermometers throughout the cooler. Make sure they are away from coils, pipes, and other things that may affect the temperature reading. Place your thermometer beforehand in a small jar of water to make sure it's giving accurate readings. If you regularly check temperature inside the cooler, you can make adjustments as necessary.

Make sure you properly handle your thermometers so not to impair accuracy.

The reason beer temperature control is so important come down to how your customer prefer their beer. People like drinking beer at 38 to 40 degrees. If it's colder than 38 degrees, it will lose its flavor, aroma and foam. if higher than 45 degrees, it becomes wild, and rapidly loses its zest. Beer also absorbs temperature from the glass it's served in. a chilled glass held by a customer will immediately increase two to three degrees. A room temperature glass will increase beer temperature by four to six degrees when held by a customer.

Following these simple guidelines will make sure you get the best from the beer you serve. It also will assure that your customers get the taste and quality that they deserve.
