The days of bars and restaurants only carrying one beer and basic sodas on tap are long gone. Today, you will find a plethora of craft beers and soda, wine, cold brew coffee, ciders, craft cocktails and anything else you can think of on tap.

You may expect to see Perlick equipment in use at your local bar or restaurant and in huge arenas across the United States, but we are also very experienced in servicing mid-size entertainment and hospitality venues like casinos, hotels, and smaller concert halls.

Tough times often bring out the best in people, and there is no denying we are living through arguably one of the most challenging stretches in recent history.

At Perlick, we pride ourselves on the partnerships we have with our customers. We work with large venues across the nation, bar and restaurant chains, and local bars and eateries in the U.S. and worldwide.

All across the country, restaurants and other foodservice establishments are moving operations onto the sidewalks, into parking lots, and in some cases, even into the streets.

For restaurants and bars, profitability is more critical now than it ever has been. And even though we need to stay distanced in order to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, that doesn’t mean we can’t still be social.

Any work anniversary is special. One year… ten years… twenty-five years. The subject of today’s Perlick Profile has passed all those milestones and is looking forward to more years with Perlick. Today we meet one of the leading ladies of the Perlick plant, Jackie Davis!

Bar professionals have always known that ice in a cocktail is not just for cooling, nor is its shape only about aesthetics. Ice is part of the life and soul of a drink.

When it comes to running a hospitality or foodservice business in the age of COVID-19, operators are having to get more creative than ever. The ability to be flexible is key. One of the ways to do that is by making a business as mobile as possible. Mobility allows for social distancing, and the distribution of crowds and staff at events.

Today, we look at a business that embraced tap beverages on wheels a few months before the pandemic and has since made even more modifications to be sure their clients feel safe. Fizzy Vintage Mobile Bar Cart is based in Atlanta. The three-wheeled beverage cart is big enough for 6 (Perlick!) taps, but small enough to fit in almost any venue. Business owner Billy Burch came up with the idea during a leisurely run, and since then, “Fizzy” has been hired for weddings, corporate events, bar mitzvahs, and other milestone events.

Many of us are looking for ways to give back to the community, especially during these difficult times. The subject of today’s Perlick Profile has been serving his community for years, and we want to tell his story. Today we meet Product Engineer Jeff Burnett!

Jeff was born in Caledonia, Wisconsin, which is south of Milwaukee in Racine County. His family moved just west of there to Raymond when Jeff was about 6 years old, and he still lives in Raymond with his wife Lori and their children Gary and Samantha. Jeff has been with Perlick for almost 5 years.
