When it comes to keg beer, a good pump to use is the Perlick Keg Pump. Perlick has been in business since 1917, but did not start creating keg pumps until 1933. As of today, they have a 300,000 square-foot facility where they manufacture their bar and beverage equipment. This space is necessary, considering all the different types of pumps they manufacture.

One such pump is the Smart Coupler. This pump includes a sensor that shuts off the beer flow when the keg is empty. This is pretty handy in minimizing beer loss. Because it also keeps beer in the line, foam from a new keg is eliminated.

There are also parts and accessories that accompany the keg pump taps. Individual sensors help detect when kegs are empty. There are also cleaning adaptors that allow the taps to be cleaned without being contaminated.

Perlick keg pumps have been around for a long time, and will continue to be around. These pumps are a necessity in any bar scene. As long as beer exists in our society, you better believe you will spot Perlick keg pump taps in your local bar.
