    Default New Draught Beer Regulation

    A popular restaurant and Tavern magazine "CHEERS" had an article in the October 2005 issue on draft beer which included a paragraph on a new federal regulation. Has anyone in California found any enforcement of this yet????

    If you are a publican or bar manager you must comply and rid your draft system of all not stainless steel metal parts from the coupler, tailpieces, nipples, splicers, wall brackets, splicers, FOBs, "Y" fittings, shut offs, shanks and faucets."

    The FDA, he warns, will start inspections as soon as cost effective system analyzers become available. "Until then, you have a chance to get your systems into compliance," Willenbecher continues. "All retail servers of beer, wine, soda and seltzer must comply with FDA Regulation 4.101.14, along with state and local regulations which prohibit serving beer, wine, seltzer and soda to the public with any copper or brass component in the storage or delivery system. This will be enforced first in California, Connecticut, Nevada and Wisconsin in late 2005 and later in remaining states." --HR

    Who is "he" and isn't "will start inspections as soon as cost effective system analyzers become available" kind of vague? We at Micro Matic have a 100% compliant system available now. We are ready.

    This will be bad for the draught industry. Seeing how well spent our tax dollars are makes us want to switch from beer to liquor.
