Yesterday, I was talking with a group of beer people and we were discussing bars shut down by the health department. When I wrote about Edgewater being closed a lot of people talked about how it was just the bathrooms. (btw I did request the sanitation records which have yet to arrive) We came to a consensus that if the management is not going to clean the toilets they likely are not cleaning draft lines. A clean draft line is essential to good beer.
Cleveland's NBC station had this investigative report on draft lines a few weeks ago.
Cleaning lines in states like Ohio is mandatory every two weeks and no bar should really go more than every three, although I think bi-weekly is a better minimum. Having someone come and clean the line can be a drag on the bottom line, but customers deserve it.
I do not know about you, but if the toilet is not being scrubbed I do not think draft lines are good either.
