The Difference Is Visible

Our experienced technicians eliminate contamination and restore flavor profiles.

Before
Dirty beer line
After
Clean beer line

Beer Line Interior

Yeast, mould, and bacteria accumulate inside lines within days. Our flush-and-circulate process removes all traces every visit.

Before
Dirty faucets
After
Clean faucets

Tap Faucets & Fittings

Faucets are disassembled, soaked, scrubbed, and sanitised individually. Every o-ring and seal is inspected and replaced as needed.

Before
Dirty keg coupler
After
Clean keg coupler

Keg Couplers

Couplers are a prime contamination point. We deep-clean, lubricate, and pressure-test every coupler in your system.

Before
Dirty glycol system
After
Clean glycol system

Glycol System

A poorly maintained glycol system can't hold temperature, resulting in warm, flat beer. We restore full chilling performance.

Before
Dirty drip tray
After
Clean drip tray

Drip Trays & Tower

Drip trays are a hidden source of fruit flies, odor, and cross-contamination. We clean and sanitise everything in the tower area.

Before
Dirty gas regulator
After
Clean gas regulator

Gas Regulators

Incorrect gas pressure is a major cause of foamy or flat beer. We inspect and calibrate all regulators during every service visit.

Disclaimer: The before-and-after images shown above are AI-generated illustrations provided for demonstration purposes only. They are not photographs of specific jobs, and actual results will vary based on the condition, age, and usage of each individual draft system. Tapman VR makes no guarantee that any system will achieve identical results.

What Your Pour Is Telling You

A poorly maintained draft system shows up immediately in the glass. Here's what to look — and taste — for.

Ideal Pour
✓ Perfect
Ideal Pour
Rich color, tight 1–1.5" head, clear body, bright carbonation.
Over-Foamy Pour
✗ Problem
Over-Foamy
Wild foam means contaminated lines or bad gas pressure. Lost profit every pour.
Flat Beer
✗ Problem
Flat & Lifeless
No head, no carbonation — biofilm is absorbing CO₂ before it reaches the glass.
Cloudy Beer
✗ Problem
Cloudy & Hazy
Bacterial growth clouds the beer and creates off-flavors. Severely overdue cleaning.
Sour Off Taste Beer
✗ Problem
Sour / Off Taste
Acetic bacteria in lines and faucets turn a good beer unpleasantly sour or metallic.
Dark Sediment Beer
✗ Problem
Dark Sediment
Particles in the pour mean severe biofilm detaching inside the line. Clean immediately.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about keeping your draft system in peak condition.

The FDA and Brewers Association recommend cleaning every 14 days minimum. High-volume accounts or venues serving hazy IPAs and stouts may benefit from weekly cleaning. We assess your volume and make a recommendation at no cost.
A standard 2-week cleaning on a typical 8–12 tap system takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Larger systems or deep cleans may take longer. We work efficiently and can schedule around your peak business hours.
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling including early mornings (from 5am), evenings, and off-peak hours. We work around your business — not the other way around.
We use only FDA-approved, food-grade alkaline and acid-based cleaners designed for draft beer systems. Every service ends with a complete fresh-water rinse and pH verification to ensure zero chemical residue remains in your lines.
We inspect the entire draft system: lines, faucets, couplers, regulators, cooler temperature, and glycol system. You receive a written condition report and recommendations — no commitment required.
We are based in Seattle and provide services to over 350 bars, restaurants, breweries, private offices, and private homes throughout Washington State. We cover: Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Everett, Marysville, Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothell, Redmond, Issaquah, SeaTac, Renton, Kent, Tukwila, Auburn, Federal Way, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Puyallup.
