Insight shows that 60% of Brits admit they have left a pub after one drink because they were unsatisfied with the quality of the serve. To address this Heineken UK has launched a new initiative to help UK pubs and bars serve quality pints, every time.

 

Thinking Beer Service is made in collaboration with award-winning alcohol experts, writers and comedians, the Thinking Drinkers, aka Ben McFarland and Tom Sandham. It comes in response to the research showing the importance of serving great quality beer, which notes that 12% of pub-goers claim that when served a bad pint they won’t finish it and just leave.

 

The survey undertaken by Heineken UK also shows that drink quality is the leading reason Brits would recommend a pub to others (31%), while the most common problem drinkers encounter when it comes to beer and cider quality is a flat pint with almost half (49%) surveyed stating they had been served a pint that fell short in this area. A dirty glass (39%), the wrong temperature (37%) and wrong glassware (37%), made up the other most common issues with beer quality that pub goers had come across.

The Thinking Beer Service three-part series, aims to tackle these issues. Each episode of the video series, all of which are available online, covers one of the three key areas of beer and cider service that ensures the delivery of a perfect pint: Perfect Pour, Glassware and In the Cellar.

 

 

 

 

With an average of £2,000 per year, per beer tap lost in wastage in the UK on-trade, the series offers a fun but invaluable resource to help operators increase their bottom line through draught sales.

 

Will Rice, On-Trade Director at Heineken UK, says: “Our own research and insight tells us that a quality pint of beer or cider is absolutely key to a great customer experience in the on-trade. At Heineken UK, we’re therefore determined to support operators as to achieve this by ensuring all venues are equipped with the best knowledge, tools and cellar management systems, like SmartDispense, to make their jobs easier.

 

“We hope this series provides operators with another important resource to help them consistently deliver a high-quality serve, highlighting some of the key actions a server can take to deliver a great pint and reduce waste, resulting in a better customer experience and boosting the bottom line.”
