Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment View Profile →
- Rock-Solid Reliability: The universal fit and tough build mean it just works, day in, day out.
- Needs Regular Rinsing: On a busy day, it can clog if not cleaned between cask changes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Masons Arms in York, a pub renowned for its rotating guest ales, was struggling with consistency. Towards the end of each cask, pints would become cloudy, leading to customer hesitation and costly wastage.
"We take immense pride in our ale selection, but hazy pints were undermining our quality. We fitted these Beaumont strainers on all our hand-pulls, and the difference was immediate. The beer stays bright right to the last drop."
Liam O'Connell – Cellar Master
By preventing cloudy pours, the pub has almost entirely eliminated end-of-cask wastage, improving their gross profit on each cask of real ale.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure your tap is clean and the thread is clear of any old residue.
- Simply insert the strainer into the tap nozzle.
- Screw the sparkler or spout back on, ensuring it's hand-tight.
- Pull a small amount of beer through to check the flow and clarity.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse the strainer under a running tap after every cask change to prevent build-up.
- For stubborn hop residue, use a soft brush and a food-safe sanitiser.
- Periodically check the mesh for any signs of damage or wear and tear.
- Store clean, dry spares in a hygienic container ready for busy services.
