THE BEERTENDER GUIDE


TAPPING A KEG

Anheuser-Busch spares no expense in brewing its draught beers. To protect these products from the brewery to the customer, only the finest stainless steel barrels and valves are used. The Tri Tap® is a single-valve draught barrel and tapping system. The barrel can be tapped quickly and easily with only one tap to connect. Convenient hand-holds make the barrel easy to handle. Every Tri Tap tap is equipped with a pressure release valve for maximum protection. The barrel itself is completely sterilized. Also, the taps can be totally disassembled for thorough cleaning.

The Tri Tap system is simple, safe and sanitary.
