BetterBeer.com
We started BetterBeer.com in 2009 because we got tired of paying good money for bad pints; Dirty glasses and equipment. Flat, old, warm beer. We became frustrated at the lack of places to get a quality pint so we started a quality assurance program for draught. Every month we show up unannounced to audit the bar's draught system. The criteria we use is industry recognized and is very difficult to pass.
For the past 18 months, we have been working with the Firkin Group of Pubs to help them elevate their draught quality. The Firkins realized the impact that great quality draught can have on their guest satisfaction. Besides – you'd expect to enjoy a great pint in a pub! Our congratulations go out to the entire Firkin team as they have worked extremely hard and have made significant investments in time and money improving their draught systems chain–wide. We are very selective where we post our Seal of Certification, but you will find one on the front door of each of the Firkin Pubs.
Cheers,
The BetterBeer.com Quality Draught Certification Team
