PROPER POUR
Designed to Dispense
The Proper Pour Advantage
​
The Proper Pour Advantage is Glastender’s proven process for designing and delivering high-yield remote draft systems that perform flawlessly from the first pour to the last. With more than 25 years of experience, Glastender understands that great draft beverages are the result of precision engineering, expert coordination, and a deep understanding of both the beverage menu and the site layout.​​​
The Seven Step Process
Through the seven-step Proper Pour process, Glastender ensures every system dispenses beverages exactly as intended, with minimal waste and maximum quality.
-
Understand the menu: The process begins with understanding what will be on draft. Each beverage type and style requires specific gas blends and pressures to preserve its intended flavor and carbonation.
-
Review the site plan: Next, the floor plan is reviewed to map the most efficient route from keg to faucet, accounting for distance, elevation, and overall layout to ensure optimal performance.
-
Design the system: With both the menu and layout defined, a complete draft system is designed, selecting the proper gas method, direct pressure or beverage pump, and ensuring all materials, from trunk lines to towers, meet performance and flavor integrity standards
-
Verify the site: Before installation begins, every critical detail is verified on-site to confirm accurate measurements, proper clearances, and ideal placement for equipment and lines.
-
Build: Each system is custom-built to specification, using high-quality components and Glastender’s precise fabrication standards to ensure long-term reliability and easy maintenance.
-
Coordinate installation: Glastender then coordinates installation to ensure every system component integrates seamlessly, maintaining the integrity of the design and ensuring peak performance from day one.
-
Complete post install follow-up: After installation, Glastender provides post-install follow-up to confirm that every beverage pours perfectly, delivering the flavor, quality, and consistency the brewer intended.​​
