DRAFT BEER STORAGE, HANDLING,
& OPERATION
Draft beer should be treated as a food product. In most instances
draft beer is not pasteurized. It is very important that you store and
handle it properly.
Follow these steps to ensure the highest quality and consumer
satisfaction.
• Draft beer should be immediately stored in a refrigerated
cabinet.
• Draft beer products have a recommended shelf life.
If you have questions regarding the shelf life of any of your
draft products, please consult with your supplying depot
or respective brewer representative.
• Kegs should be stored separately from food products. If your
cooler is used to refrigerate draft and food products, it is very
important that the food not be stored near or on the kegs.
• Keg storage and dispensing areas should be kept clean to
prevent any possibility of contaminating your draft products.

dispensing draft beer. Beer that is too cool or too warm may be
subject to flavor loss, off taste and dispensing problems.
