Onslaught of 'Pour Your Own Beer' Tables in Philadelphia Area Makes for Lots of Happy Bar Patrons

Rosemont, PA (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

Earlier this week two of Ellickson USA's mobile Draft Tables made an appearance in the Villanova area local establishment, Flip and Bailey's. This seems to be a growing trend in the Philly region as we have seen them pop up at 'Xfinity Live', the behemoth sports bar complex in the South Philly Stadium complex as well as 'Rebel' on Spring Garden St, Dave & Buster's on Delaware Avenue and Plymouth Meeting and there are rumors of more downtown this Summer so the trend is growing.

It seems this is not just a regional trend. Josh Goodman, Ellickson USA's CEO/COO said, "We have over 200 tables nationally now in about two years and most of those have sprung up in the past 6 months, the demand is growing considerably now that we have proven that the concept works and pays off quickly. We are seeing a lot of growth in mobile tables because of their ease to install and operate but also in our new beer walls."

Damien Given, GM for the group that owns Flip & Bailey's, commented that "we had been looking to invest in a unique business driver at one of our three locations for some time but wanted to make sure it would be a solid investment before we did. We saw the trend developing with these mobile tables and, as we are seen as somewhat of a trend setting place, we decided we had better get ahead of the curve."

Local area Villanova students can now enjoy pouring their own beers any night of the week and who knows, maybe they can also get a little training for that Summer job at the Jersey shore into the bargain!

When we opened American Social, we wanted to break tradition and offer a new opportunity for our customers, stated Paul Greenberg, owner of American Social. Letting our customers pour their own pints of beer reshapes the way beer is served. It gives our patrons the freedom to try different types of beer or create their own mix. Who knows what new draft will be created at our Draft Tables.

The American Social Beer Wall offers six taps. Each table comes equipped with four taps on a rotating tower (think sharing a pu pu platter at a chinese restaurant) so customers simply twist the taps toward themselves and pour a beer when they want it. Even better, customers can take just the amount of beer they want. No more leaving half a glass of beer on the table not that anyone will admit that theyve done that!

Customer LOVE for Self-Serve Beer Systems Prompts Unusual Valentine's Promotion

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 09, 2013

With most holiday decorations back in their containers by now the focus is firmly on red window dressings, hearts and cupids most everywhere. Innovative Tap Solutions makes self-serve beer tables and walls where customers get to serve themselves. Bar owners buy the systems to use in their establishments and they attract customers. The Maryland-based company is honoring Valentines day by giving the love back to their customers, literally. They are offering system buyers a free keg of Yards Love Stout, a Philadelphia brewery, if they purchase a self-serve table in the month of February.

With more than 200 self-service beer locations across the US that the PourMyBeer leadership team are responsible for, they are the self-service beer trend. Self-serve beer dispensing equipment like beer walls and tables are legal in 44 states, allowing customers to pour their own beer at either device through the use of a unique fob. Customers can choose to pour a full pint or a partial glass and pay for what they pour.

Self-service is becoming more visible everywhere in society now, stated Declan Duggan, co-founder of pourmybeer. Bar customers love the freedom of choice to try different beer styles, and we wanted to share some 'love' (stout) with those who choose to buy our equipment this month. A bar owner makes an average 23% more profit per keg versus the usual waste and giveaway seen behind a bar so thats better than a valentine card from us we think. If Yards is not available in some areas we will send the owner a credit for the cost as a gesture but honestly the beer is what their customers want.

The number of beers served to any one customer is limited by the self-serve beer walls. After two beers have been poured the customer has to be checked by a staff member to gain further access to beer. Essentially they are cut off until they get approved every two beers.

http://www.pourmybeer.com is an Innovative Tap Solutions Company. The company was formed in MD in 2008 and made the first commercial mobile self-serve beer tables in the US. It also sells and distributes fixed beer walls, mobile beer walls, fixed draft tables and mobile draft self-serve tables. All mobile equipment is made in the USA.

Innovative Tap Solutions Develop Self-serve Beer Walls to Meet Rising Consumer Demand for Craft Beer

Baltimore MD (PRWEB) February 23, 2013

A beer wall? What is that, you ask? A Maryland-based company called Innovative Tap Solutions has designed a mobile beer wall so that customers can self-serve beer and sample as much (up to a two pint limit) or as little (their system measures beer to three decimal places of an ounce!) as they would like. With ever increasing consumer appetites for new flavors, bars are struggling to keep up with a finite amount of taps behind the bar. Enter the beer wall...

We are trying to match our product offerings to what the consumer demand is currently for beer says Josh Goodman, the company CEO. I was personally tired of waiting in line for a beer in busy places and when we saw the natural consumer shift toward craft beer we felt it was time we designed a unit that met those consumer trends proactively. The results have been very positive.

Patrons enter the bar and once their drivers license has been swiped at a control terminal it creates a unique identifier for them. They are given a wristband that has an RFID chip built-in and that tracks their consumption allowing them up to two beers as a limit. Once they hit their limit a staff member has to assess their ability to be re-served and if deemed OK they are re-upped for two more. They pay at the end for what they have used or they can pre-pay if they want to do it that way.

The software also allows customers to reserve a beer online, continued Goodman. There are some pretty unique and rare craft beers out there now that people want to get their hands on fast when they show up in their local pub. With our system they can reserve what they want online and those reserved beers are unavailable to others that are just in the pub organically. Its a real traffic driver for bars and restaurants now.

The mobile beer wall that has eight taps for maximum customer choice. Adding eight taps in a bar setting in the same old way is not an easy proposition from a cost or construction perspective, not to mention the business disruption it would cause, for an existing restaurant, said Declan Duggan, Goodmans partner. So we made a mobile beer wall that the owner can use to store and refrigerate kegs in and, at the same time, have their customers dispense their own beer samples or full glasses. Its plug-and-play really and customers love it.

Automated Beer, Wine and Liquor Dispense Trending Billed as Latest Restaurant Industry Traffic and Profit Driving Course

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

With St Patricks Day around the corner bar owners see the high holiday of beer drinking as an early-in-the-year opportunity to showcase their establishment to new patrons, hoping that it remains in their lexicon for future watering hole visits. So, making a great first impression probably matters, right? That seems to be fast becoming self-serve beer, wine and liquor stations. Yes, that is correct, customers can serve themselves.

Dont worry, the makers of the units have managed to do that AND maintain responsible drinking standards. Indeed, Declan Duggan co-owner at Innovative Tap Solutions said, We are technically twice as responsible as the majority of states law. In most cases patrons can buy a pitcher of beer, which is a four pint vessel. We only allow consumers access to two beers at a time before they are to be re-assessed by a staff member for re-serving. Innovative Tap solutions makes a mobile beer wall and mobile draft beer tables where customers can walk up and pour their own beer with the aid of an RFID wristband that opens their tap choice for them and they pour what they want."Customers actually like serving themselves beer, who wouldn't? There's no wait and you pour as MUCH as you want of WHAT you want. This is how people generally want to consume, casually and naturally," remarked Duggan.

Intelligent dispense in the wine segment is starting to get a little crowded now too as savvy investors and inventors are waking to the obvious market that is available. Enomatic are a large contender vying for the top spot but there are others jockeying for their share such as Wineemotion, N2Vin and Emerald Wine Systems, highlighting the fact that more competition continues to enter because the pie is growing.

Liquor seems a much trickier proposition. With the stench of prohibition still lingering almost a century later the regulatory hurdles in place for getting a customer-facing self-serve liquor unit are quite daunting. Most state liquor authorities run the other direction at the thought. Self-serve in this segment will prove difficult in the US but internationally there seem to be many opportunities where their liquor laws are less stringent and, possibly, coupled with less customer abuse of the hard stuff.

In an era where technology is hurtling us forward at a greater pace than ever before it makes sense that gas, laundromats and yogurt should not be the only self-serve bastions of this new frontier and when you visit a pub in the next two weeks see if the place is impressing you by not making you wait a half hour for the beer to go with your plate of corned beef and cabbageits finally OK to be self-serving.

Micro Matic Draft Beer Equipment Featured in Record-Setting 360 Faucet Installation at New Chicago Restaurant

Brooksville, FL (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

Micro Matic draft beer dispensing equipment forms the heart of new epic beer hall Howells & Hood located in iconic Chicago Tribune Tower.

Officially opened to the public on St. Patrick's Day weekend, Howells & Hood is equipped with 114 different beers on tap pouring through 360 faucets spread across three bars, making it the venue with the most tap handles in the city of Chicago and likely the world.

Named after the Tribune Buildings architects, John Howells and Raymond Hood, the restaurants interior replicates the epic neo-Gothic design of the landmark building designed by its namesakes.

With a main dining room seating 250 guests and an additional banquet room holding 150 more, the 23,000 square foot venues design includes copper-topped bars and travertine-tiled walls with quotes inscribed from everyone from Al Capone to Abraham Lincoln. To maintain the buildings continuity, the stone tile found throughout the space was collected from the same quarry in Rome used 80 years ago during the towers construction.

Each of the 114 brews available to complement the restaurants globally-inspired menu pours from a gigantic glassed-in refrigerated cooler that can hold up to 670 kegs. This massive cooler is visible to patrons behind the bar, showing the faucets pouring beer from the kegs directly behind them. The effect is one part showmanship and one part an effort to relay the authentic experience of beer from keg that it truly is.

"It was a pleasure working with Micro Matic on our most ambitious draft project yet at Howells and Hood. 360 faucets pouring 114 different beers would be daunting for anyone, but Micro Matic was there with us every step of the way. A concept of this size and scale would not have been possible without Micro Matic's full support and expertise throughout the design and installation process," said Jason Akemann, principle owner of Howells and Hood.

Behind the scenes in the refrigerated cooler is one full mile of refrigerated Black Diamond trunk line, Micro Matics patented beer line insulation that delivers beer at a constant temperature to the 360 faucets.

The majority of the insulated trunk housing consists of 10 beer lines with 5/16 I.D. and four glycol cooling lines with 3/8 I.D. There are eight Pro-Line power packs in total refrigerating the glycol which maintains the beer temperature from the keg to the faucet.

Micro Matic produced 32 custom Kool-Rite dispense modules to cool the beer at the faucet. All the hardware touching the beer is stainless steel to deliver the best draft flavor and experience to the customer.

Also included in the Howells and Hood installation was wine certified equipment to dispense 36 wines on tap. Micro Matic has been instrumental in the rising trend of wine on tap, providing the highest quality equipment and expertise for this new, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method of keg wine dispensing.

The monumental installation carried out by Chicago local and Micro Matic Certified Installer Stuever & Sons, Inc. took just over one month with six installers on-hand working 12-14 hours per day, seven days per week. All work installing the system was performed so as to preserve the integrity of this historic building.

The Micro Matic Certified Installer Network provides expert installation and support services for businesses across the nation.
