Craft beer bar & taproom equipment setup

Twenty-one positions across seven zones — kegerator and multi-line dispense, cold storage, glass washing, a snack kitchen and POS. Every line is a catalog item you can open, read and price.

A taproom lives or dies on what happens between the keg and the glass. This setup follows the beer: cold keg storage, dispense with enough lines to run a rotating list, glass that comes back clean and clear, and a short kitchen for the food that keeps people through a second round.

Quantities assume a 60-seat room with six to eight taps. If you are building past twenty taps, the dispense side changes shape — tell us the tap count and the run length from cellar to bar, and we quote the cooling that goes with it.

Draft line

Everything between the keg and the glass. This is the zone that decides whether the first pour of the night is drinkable.

2 must-have · 2 optional
  • Intelligent Self-Serve Beer Tap System

    A self-pour tap that meters what the guest actually takes. One wall of these changes the labor math on a busy floor — and sells the half-pours people would not order at the bar.

    Optional ×1 $ 2 200
  • Bottoms-Up Beer Dispenser System (1, 2 & 4-Glass)

    Fills through the base of the cup in seconds. It exists for the ninety-second queue at a match or a festival, not for normal table service.

    Optional ×1 $ 150

Cold storage

Cans, bottles and back stock — the half of the list that is not on tap.

1 must-have · 1 recommended

Ice & glass chilling

Small zone, but a taproom that also pours spirits and soft drinks needs both.

1 recommended · 1 optional

Bar station

The spirits and cocktail half of the menu, which is what a taproom sells after the second pint.

2 recommended

Kitchen

A short menu built around a fryer and a grill. Enough to hold a table through another round, not enough to need a chef line.

3 recommended · 1 optional

Warewashing

Beer glass needs to come back genuinely clean — any residue kills the head on the next pour.

1 must-have · 2 recommended

Counter, POS & room

Orders, payment and the sound that sets the volume of the room.

1 must-have · 1 recommended · 2 optional

The glassware is yours to choose

Beer glass is a house decision — pints, tulips, stems and the branded ware your breweries send you. We stock forms across the range, we just do not put them in the setup: tell us what the list pours into and we price it with the rest of the order.
