It's because they have different pour costs , which we noted in a previous post, is the ratio between the costs of products purchased and the revenue from products sold. The great thing about draft beer is the flexibility it brings to your bar. With a wide selection and rotating handles you can keep your menu fresh and adjust prices along with serving sizes.
Draft beer has more overhead costs than bottled beer, from equipment and maintenance to spillage and spoilage, it requires more upkeep which means it costs more. Nitrogen and CO2 also need to be purchased on a regular basis to keep your beer fresh, so adding in an overhead charge-per-glass will allow you to leverage the higher profit margins by adjusting prices.
One important thing to consider when pricing draft beer is the keg size. The typical keg size in the U. The price you should charge will be based on how much the keg costs and the serving size of the beer. You might think you need some big confusing formula to figure out the percentage costs for draft beer, but turns out all you need is a couple numbers and it's fairly easy. I keg mostly for homebrew and haven't bought a commercial keg for awhile.
I was surprised at how much the prices had increased. I too purchase sixtels, typically Sam. For me it the taste, I prefer draft and don't mind paying a premium. Recognize that it sounds counter to cost more than bottles, but I look it at as cheaper than the bar - not to mention convent and greener I think, or at least that is what I tell the wife. Let's refine that statement and make it honest.
It should say "Keg beer is not cheaper if you buy kegs that are not cheaper than bottles or buy the most expensive draft option available. Sixtels are your worst option. If your goal was to save money, stop buying sixtels of commercial brew, which it sounds like you did. I have saved a fortune with my kegerator over the years. It makes zero sense to me to purchase kegs of something I can get in bottles for the same price, since the kegged beer is the same as the bottled beer for every beer I drink.
Some kegs are cheaper and some are not. I save over half on the Shiner Bock. But the taste of the Strawberry on draft is wayyyyyyy better than the bottle. My research was with Anheuser Busch Natural light which was purported as the cheapest kegs. A keg is cans. A couple of other things you forgot: Ice to keep it cold, cups to serve although you could use reusable cups. Clearly you all need to realize that prices differ around the country.
They are a lot smoother especially especially if you get imported beer. If you are looking at doing a keg more than once or maybe even want something around the house consider getting a kegorator.
A friend of mine has one and I am ordering one now. They use CO2 to pressurize the keg so your keg stays fresh for upwards of 4 months as long as you keep it at the right temp in the fridge.
A kegorator eliminates waste, the need for ice, and the possibility of needing beer runs constantly. Remember, never frost a glass. The beer should be ice cold not the cup. If the cup has too much frost on it it will condense and turn to water quickly and you will have watered down beer 3 minutes into drinking.
If you have any questions about how he likes his or if you wait for it to ship how I like mine email me at cincyfan yahoo. Obviously you take your beer seriously to the point that you are buying a kegorator to have beer on tap at your home at all times. But, this post is not for the beer connoisseur, it is for the average person who is having an occasional large party and trying to figure out which option may save them some money.
The point of the post is to encourage readers to do the price comparison themselves. Again, as you mentioned, prices do vary around the country. I do, however, question how you can make that statement which I agree with and then tell me my numbers are wrong. My numbers were obtained from my local liquor store and nearby retailers. They are not wrong. They were the prices as listed at the time of the writing of the post.
I thank you for your analysis of the savings of a kegorator. How much is a mini keg? How many 6 packs are in a keg? How much was a keg of beer in ? Previous Article How do you reference a section? Next Article How long is a commentary?
