presidente by the keg

A friend of mine who made enquiries who owns a bar made enquires about this believing it would be cheaper but alas no it works out much more expensive then buying the crates! In other countries it does work out cheaper but not here due to the cost of CO2 tanks and equipment hire.

Unless someone else can help and i never seen a bar here using CO2 you need to contact Presidente directly and ask them. I only have ever seen the truck pull up and unload crates of beer bottles. You need to factor in cost of import tax and shipping of your equipment plus source to refill the CO2. i think you need to be selling HUGE amounts to make it viable. The "busy" bars round here are only shifting about 40 crates a week in my area but i know the AI hotels use CO2 but then they dispense in to plastic beakers most of the time or glass in the resturants. Its customary for most people to drink out of the bottle so your savings will have to go on hiring someone to collect glasses and wash them up
Actually this is for personal use and not for sale. We like having a beer tap in the house. So I guess I will need to check our places to fill CO2 bottles.Bolt said:Unless someone else can help and i never seen a bar here using CO2 you need to contact Presidente directly and ask them.

hassle!
as far as I know it is far easier to stick with the Presidente bottles....kegs and beer on tap are not very popular in DR it seems....actually the only beer I had on tap there was Barcelo i think...at some resort in Boca Chica! :beard:
