How Do Czech Side Pour Taps Work? (Lukr Faucets)

[@DanimalBeerSherpa]

This is always something that people miss. There is so much of a beer in its foam. Nice video, Andy. Cheers!

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Cheers! 🍻

Wow, I'm surprised to see Czech beer so far away from home. Thanks for letting people taste our style of beer! Hope they like it.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Na Zdraví! 🍻🍻🍻

[@Silverhammerbrew]

Great now I need this in my garage/taproom 😂😂😂

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Ha, get it! 🍻🍻🍻

[@Silverhammerbrew]

@@tanglefootbrewing well I might have to figure out a way to Frankenstein a diy version lol🍻

[@connerh7436]

Great video!

[@tanglefootbrewing]

🤘 thank you!

[@TheMortgageBrewer]

I hope to get one of these soon. I love the presentation of the been through these. I feel the same way about a beer engine...nothing comes close, in my opinion, of a proper pour off a beer engine.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Do it! 🍻🍻

[@michaelluciano1980]

Love the videos! If you ever come through to Asheville, come to One world brewing and I’d love to give you a tour and drink some beer with you!

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Thank you! Will do 🍻

cool

[@GentleGiantFan]

Two questions. What other brands of ball valve style faucets would you recommend if you couldn't splurge on the Lukr taps? Would a DIY version be a better recommendation?

[@tanglefootbrewing]

The model I showed in the video seems to work well, I think it's a micro matic tap. I don't think a DIY would necessarily be BETTER but you could rig one up woth a stainless ball valve and an elbow piece on the end. Have considered building on just for laughs myself ha

[@GentleGiantFan]

@@tanglefootbrewing Those Urquell style mugs you have look cool too. Do you still sell those on your site? The links didn't seem to work when I last checked.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

@GentleGiantFan I do not have any more to sell, they are all in service now. Would order more but they are pretty expensive so been on the back burner

[@MattPittenger-kc2rk]

Thanks for this. I'm in the process of opening a restaurant we'll be pouring Czech and Japanese beer. We're psyched on the LUKR taps. Will these fit on any tower? They appear to come out further than a standard tap, did you have to adjust your drip tray?

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Thats awesome. They do and they don't. Basically, they don't attach to the standard American shank so you have to install the line directly on to the tap(unless you buy the adapter they sell). And yes, they stick out about 7 in(more with adapter) so you will need to consider the drip tray. 🍻🍻

[@treyokelly9662]

I'll be honest, I have yet to have a Czech lager. But they always look so beautiful, but I don't know of any in my area (though I'm sure I could find some if I really dug deep) but what would be your recommendation on terrific commercial examples of some Czech lagers to be on the look out for?

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Commercial examples from Czech Rep. are gonna be Pilsner Urquell, Czechvar and possibly Staropramen but it depends on where you are located and what you can find. There are several Czech lagers from US breweries now but again, locally dependent. Cheers 🍻

[@eddiane]

Im kicking myself, a small brewery in Eau Claire Wisconsin went out of business and sold their Lukr Taps last fall. Here is from their sale of equipment page/// Lukr Czech-style Side Pull Tap Faucets (includes EuropeanStyle Shank) 4 $200 Each Had some great milk pours there. I miss that place. I enjoyed our explanation.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Oh man, that's a steal. Sorry to hear they closed.

[@soylentpimp]

Where did you order that specific kind of mug? I'm trying to get some for the shop.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

They are from a company called Sahm in Germany. Pretty expensive but very cool mugs

[@mohanrajselvaraja9598]

Where to buy this ? Who are the manufacturers?

[@tanglefootbrewing]

@mohanrajselvaraja9598 Lukr is the manufacturer and they are in the Czech Republic. You can also buy them online!

[@thoresund868]

What kind of beers do you pour from your Lukrs?

[@denisspringer6900]

Pilsner type

[@Vretenaes]

I do not like lack of foam on beer.

[@tanglefootbrewing]

Same same.

[@betasequence4885]

this is so wonderful :) thank you so much for sharing this. i watched a wonderful old video from the BBC about pouring "plain" or pints of pilsner poured their own way. I just love the wonderful richness of culture from around the world that went into their beers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHynqKqMh5qZmpY

[@tanglefootbrewing]

That is one of my favorite beer videos ever! Love the 2 part pour. Love the scrape with the beer knife. 🍻🍻🍻

[@betasequence4885]

@@tanglefootbrewing kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIrYlaVve6Z6haM - here is a wonderful famous irish poem that really gets to the core of how important a pint of plain was to that part of the world :) I'm aussie (From Bendigo - we once had more pubs per capita than anywhere in the world during the gold rush) and we have a LOT of Irish immigrants over here. I just love you are also bringing a unique awesome beer culture to your part of the world too.

[@billybungle1757]

Great video and really useful guide. But IMO this isn't 'traditional' as so many people claim. Before pressurised beer storage and dispensing, this wasn't possible or available ... so yes it's how you find the beer served today, but is it really traditional? Look at Guinness as a great example of a brewery that has totally reinvented 'traditional' ... the nitro pour is a million miles away from traditional.
