Rosie's Draft Solutions Clean Tap Program

Introducing to Long Island Restaurants and Bars…

Rosie’s Draft Solutions is presenting bars with our Clean Tap Certification!

Now Long Island craft beer lovers will have visibility to which bars and restaurants are going above and beyond to serve you the best quality draft beer! When draft beer systems are not cleaned regularly, it causes beer to deviate from what the brewers intended. These off-flavors most likely are not an issue with the beer itself but the draft beer line system itself!

Our Clean Tap Certification program is not only for establishments who uses Rosie’s Draft Solutions cleaning programs, but for any bar or restaurant on Long Island who wants to showcase the pride they take in their draft beer system. For bar/restaurant owners not using our servicing currently that would like to participate, Rosie’s Draft Solutions will complete 2 site visits per year to make sure the system meets all of our certification criteria.

Be on the lookout for the Clean Tap logo above! This will let you know if your local bar has took the pledge to serve you the freshest craft brews possible. On our Clean Tap Certified tab of our website you will also be able to search through all certified locations in Nassau and Suffolk County.

Preparing for Re-opening after Extended Draft System Shutdown

Below you will find our checklist of items that should be addressed before re-opening after being shut-down for an extended period of time:

1. If you have advanced notice, contact the company responsible for your draft beer system cleaning within to weeks of re-opening. Have the company complete a deep clean on your system following the Brewer’s Associations Standards laid out in the Draft Quality Manual.

   1. Using a 3% caustic solution

   2. Faucets and FOB’s disassembled and cleaned

   3. Washers checked and replaced

   4. Keg sankeys scrubbed and cleaned

2. Check your beer inventory. Each keg will have a best-buy date or freshest within date. Make sure you are not serving any product that does not taste as intended.

3. Clean and sanitize all glassware

4. Turn the gas back on, check for leaks or issues (your line cleaning company should address for you). Check all regulators are at the proper pressure.

5. Check your glycol system is running properly showing the temperature settings are correct. If you have a air cooled system, make sure that is running properly.

6. Run beer through each line, verify the quality of the product since you will be serving to customers.
