Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan Inn, a busy gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was struggling with stock discrepancies and inconsistent spirit pours during their hectic weekend services. They decided to standardise their gantry by fitting every bottle with the Beaumont 3099BM commercial spirit measure 50ml optic.
"Switching to the Beaumont optics was a simple change that made a massive difference. Our pours are now spot-on, service is quicker, and my end-of-week stock-take is finally accurate. No more guesswork, just pure efficiency."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The result was a measured 12% reduction in spirit wastage within the first month and a noticeable improvement in the speed of service during peak times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your wall bracket or shelf stand is securely fixed before attaching the optic.
- To fit, simply push the optic's cork firmly into an opened spirit bottle until it forms a tight seal.
- Before the first use, 'prime' the measure by pushing the dispenser up a couple of times to fill the chamber.
- Check that the bottle is sitting vertically to ensure the mechanism functions correctly.
Keeping It Going
- Regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to keep the chrome finish sparkling.
- To clean the inside, use an optic cleaning solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water between bottles.
- Avoid using sugary or creamy liqueurs in this type of optic as they can clog the mechanism.
- Periodically check the cork seal for wear and tear and replace it if it becomes loose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the exact measure of this optic?
A: This is a 50ml spirit measure dispenser, which is a standard double measure in many parts of the UK.
Q: Is this optic legal for use in a UK pub?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is Government Stamped, which means it has been certified for pouring legal measures in a commercial setting.
Q: How do I clean the Beaumont 3099BM optic?
A: It's best to rinse it between bottle changes using warm water or a specialised optic cleaning fluid. Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the mechanism.
Q: Can I use this for thicker drinks like Baileys or other liqueurs?
A: This type of push-up optic is designed for standard spirits like gin, vodka, rum, and whisky. Thicker, sugary liqueurs can clog the mechanism and are better served with a free-flow pourer.
Q: Does it fit any spirit bottle?
A: The cork is designed to fit the neck of most standard 70cl and 1-litre spirit bottles. Some unusually shaped bottles may not provide a perfect seal.
Q: What is the non-drip mechanism?
A: It's a valve system inside the optic that securely closes after each pour, preventing any excess spirit from dripping out, which saves on waste and mess.
Q: Is the Beaumont 3099BM 50ml optic easy to operate?
A: Yes, it's designed for simple, one-handed operation. You just push the glass up against the three-pronged dispenser to pour.
Q: Does it come with a wall bracket?
A: This listing is for the optic dispenser only. Brackets for wall mounting or free-standing shelf units are sold separately.

Using one ensures you're not just giving the customer a fair measure, but you're also protecting your business from potential fines and legal trouble. It's a small detail that provides complete peace of mind and builds trust with your clientele.
