We're excited to announced that effective immediately, Zink will be distributing BIG LUG.
According to Big Lug, on Big Lug:
WE TREAT OUR BREWING AT BIG LUG WITH THE RESPECT BEER DESERVES. NO SHORTCUTS. NO GIMMICKS. TO CREATE OUR DISTINCT FLAVOR OF BEERS, WE PURCHASED ALL AMERICAN MADE EQUIPMENT, SPARED NO EXPENSES WHEN IT CAME TO QUALITY HOPS AND MALTS, AND FOCUSED ON BEER STYLES THAT ARE FULL FLAVORED AND EXCITE DRINKERS TO TAKE ANOTHER SIP.
We will be launching with their four core-brands. Seasonal's to follow!

Oatmeal Pale Ale

How Clean Are Your Draft Lines?
|
Without question the easiest way to improve the quality of beer that you serve your customers is consistently cleaning your draft lines. Zink is very proud to adhere to the standard of cleaning our lines every two weeks. We have been asked before about the necessity of this practice and now this standard gets a great article from none other than the Brewers Association itself. For those who are unaware, the Brewers Association is the governing body for every brewer, micro or macro, in the country. Take a look at the link below to see why cleaning every two weeks is so important to both the quality of your beer and the maintenance of your system.
