APP OF THE MONTH

Beer drinkers know there’s nothing more refreshing than a good brew served at the perfect temperature. But different brews actually taste best at different temperatures. “For some beer drinkers, real refreshment begins at a frigid 32°F-38°F. And, while draft macrobrews serve well at that temperature range, many of the popular draft microbrews are really best served warmer at 41°F-53°F,” says Jim Koelbl, v.p.-commercial sales at Perlick.

Perlick’s new ArcticPOUR Advanced Refrigeration Technology—a feature of the company’s Century Beverage Dispensing Systems—has been engineered specifically to solve the challenges of routing a multitude of beers from keg cooler to tap at their optimal serving temperatures. The unique bar equipment consists of two main components: a UL-rated indoor/outdoor refrigeration deck and a separate, optional glycol-bath flash chiller that can lower the beer temperature 6°F below keg temperature.

Because the refrigeration deck can be remotely located up to 100 ft. away from the glycol bath, ArcticPOUR offers installation flexibility and energy efficiency; for example, mounting the deck outside can remove up to 18,000 BTU/hr. of heat load from the kitchen, saving on energy costs. Additionally, the flash chiller can compensate for a keg that hasn’t chilled enough by shortening the time it takes to cool the beer for tap dispensing.

ETL and UL listed, the timer is equipped with an audible indicator, and the 7-segment LED display increases visibility of the remaining mix time.
