Serving Beverage Tanks for Cider

Serving Cider is Easier Than Ever Before

As a craft cider maker, we know keeping fresh, exciting flavors on the menu while making your next great batch is all about timing and demand. Running a tasting room gives your customers the opportunity to try all of your ciders and let them choose their favorites. But this can also come with some heavy overhead. Serving Beverage Tanks can be one way to reduce waste, labor and keep the freshness and flavor that your business is built on. 

Paul Mueller Company has been providing European pubs and brewhouses with bulk storage and serving beer tanks for years with great success. Now, not only are North American breweries catching onto this bag-in-tank-serving system, but so are wineries, cideries and distilleries. 

From the Tank to the Tap

What if you had a serving tank in your restaurant or tap room that you could pour the perfect glass of cider every time? What could this mean for your business? A fresher product every time and freeing up fermenters and brite tanks allowing you to create new batches, quicker. Plus, once the contents run out, it takes only minutes to pull the bag out and spray the tank, getting ready for the next batch.

Pitch the Bottle, Crush the Can 

Having your signature ciders in a branded bottle or can for retail sale or distribution is the right marketing move. But if you are serving your cider from those bottles and cans in your tasting room, it can cost you thousands of dollars a year in vessels, labels, storage and labor. Not to mention more waste going to landfills.  

Using a branded Serving Beverage Tank in your tap room can reduce all of these costs. You can still have cans and bottles proudly toting your logo and image for sale, but now your staff can pour from either one of our stainless steel or copper tanks.  

Independent Temperature Control 

Proper temperature in storage and serving cider is key to keeping the flavors exactly the way you want them: bright and fresh.  With a new or existing chiller attached to your Serving Tanks, you will have independent temperature control in the tasting room, helping you save on cold storage costs. With ASME certified engineering and display quality finishes, this is a functional showpiece for your brewery that will keep you saving for years to come.
