Keeping your beer lines clean is one of the most important parts of maintaining a great pint — and a great pub. Dirty lines can ruin taste, cause waste, and even damage your reputation.

So, how often should they be cleaned?

The Industry Standard

In the UK, it’s recommended that beer lines be cleaned every 7 days. This ensures optimal taste, hygiene, and equipment longevity.

Why Weekly Cleaning Matters:

• Improves beer flavour — No stale or sour aftertastes
• Prevents build-up — Like yeast, bacteria, and biofilm
• Protects your customers — Clean lines = clean pours
• Keeps your cellar compliant — Especially during audits

What If You Miss a Clean?

Delaying line cleaning can lead to:

• Flat or cloudy pints
• Excess foam or wastage
• Unhappy customers and poor reviews
