Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Goblet, a popular gin bar in York, recently revamped its barware to better match its opulent, art deco interior. They needed tools that were both visually striking and tough enough for weekend service.
"The moment we unboxed these strainers, we knew they were right. They feel solid, look incredible under the bar lights, and the feedback from the team has been fantastic. They're just a pleasure to work with."
Samuel Jones – Bar Manager
The switch to the Beaumont Mezclar strainers contributed to a more refined customer experience and reinforced the bar's premium identity, supporting their new high-end cocktail menu launch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the strainer a good wash in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Ensure the spring is coiled tightly and sits securely against the strainer's body.
- Your strainer is now ready for use with any standard mixing glass or shaker tin.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the beautiful antique brass finish, always hand wash. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh dishwasher cycles.
- After washing, dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
- Periodically remove the spring for a deeper clean, ensuring no residue builds up within the coils.
- Store by hanging from the handle loop to allow it to air dry fully and avoid scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a Hawthorne strainer?
A: Yes, this is a classic Hawthorne-style strainer, identifiable by its coiled spring which holds it in place inside the shaker.
Q: Will this fit a standard Boston shaker tin?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to professional specifications and works perfectly with standard Boston shakers and mixing glasses.
Q: Is the antique brass a solid material or a coating?
A: It's a durable antique brass plating over a solid stainless-steel body, giving you both style and strength.
Q: How do you remove the spring for cleaning?
A: The spring is flexible and simply slides on and off the two prongs on the strainer's body, making it very easy to clean.
Q: Can I put this in a commercial glasswasher?
A: We strongly recommend hand-washing only. High temperatures and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage the plated finish over time.

A: It's a term for a high-quality strainer suitable for the 'throwing' technique, where a drink is passed between two tins to chill and aerate it. This requires a well-balanced, reliable tool.

A: Yes, Beaumont is a highly respected name in the UK bar and catering industry, known for producing durable and reliable professional barware.
Q: Will the finish tarnish?
A: The antique finish is designed to be stable. With proper care (hand-washing and soft cloth drying), it will maintain its appearance for a very long time.
