The most complex draught systems fall into the long-draw category.  Designed to deliver beer to bars well away from the keg cooler, these systems usually employ equipment not seen in temporary and direct-draw setups.  While long-reach systems offer designers the option to put beer far from the bar providing keg handling or layout flexibility, the distances they cover come with increased opportunities for problems and increased costs for equipment, cooling and beer waste. Here—as with all systems—minimize line length to minimize beer loss and facilitate cleaning.

Let’s consider the three draught dispense sub-systems of beer, gas and cooling to see what long-draw systems include.
