- Top Marks for Reliability: This measure is built to last through thousands of pours without jamming.
- Aesthetic Compromise: The plastic finish is purely functional; it lacks a premium metallic feel.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Stag's Head pub in Inverness was struggling with inconsistent spirit measures from their old, worn-out optics, leading to stock discrepancies. They needed a reliable, government-stamped solution that could handle their busy tourist trade without constant maintenance.
"Our bar staff love them. The action is smooth, they don't drip all over the place, and we know every single pour is accurate. It's taken a real headache out of our weekly stocktake and the bar top has never been cleaner."
Ewan McGregor – General Manager
After installing the Beaumont Solo optics, the pub reported a significant drop in spirit wastage, directly improving their gross profit margin on spirits.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your wall bracket or shelf stand is securely fixed before attaching the optic.
- To insert, simply push the optic arms up into the bracket until it clicks firmly into place.
- Prime the optic by inserting a bottle and dispensing 2-3 measures to ensure the mechanism is fully wetted and ready for service.
- Always check the ribbed rubber seal for a snug fit on the bottle neck to prevent leaks.
Keeping It Going
- At the end of service, rinse the optic by running clean, warm water through it.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can damage the plastic and the internal mechanism.
- Periodically soak in a specialised optic cleaning solution to break down sugar residue, especially if used for liqueurs.
- Regularly check the non-drip seal for any signs of wear and tear to ensure it remains effective.

Explore more from BeaumontWhy a 'Government Stamp' Is Your Bar's Best Friend
Ever wondered what that 'CE M' or 'Govt Stamped' mark on a spirit measure actually means? It's not just a suggestion; it's a legal requirement in the UK for anyone selling spirits by the measure (like a 25ml or 50ml shot). This stamp is your official guarantee, verified by Trading Standards, that the optic dispenses the exact volume it claims to. Think of it like a legal seal of approval for your bar's honesty and accuracy. Using an unstamped measure for trade is illegal and can lead to hefty fines. So, this little stamp doesn't just ensure fair pours for your customers; it protects your license and your reputation.
