Most craft beers are brewed in small batches, meaning that customers do not need to store them for extended periods. That said, different types of beer need to be kept at different temperatures to ensure they remain in peak condition for as long as possible. While strong beers can be kept at room temperature, and standard beers at cellar temperature, lighter beers like lagers, pilsners and wheat beers should be kept refrigerated between 3-7°C. Like wine some beers can change and improve with age, and as the popularity of craft beers continues to grow more businesses are looking for ways to store beer long-term.

Williams range of back bar bottle coolers provide an eye-catching display for bottled beer while maintaining it in perfect condition. Craft beers often have quirky label designs, so the double-glazed doors with bright, low energy lighting built in help to display them to customers in a clear, attractive manner. The wire shelves are fully adjustable, allowing for flexibility in storage arrangements. Three levels of 10” bottles can be stored vertically as standard, providing plenty of space for even the best stocked bars to show their range off. The adjustable thermostat allows for precise temperature control meaning product will always be kept in optimum conditions.

Store Beer in a Williams Bottle Cooler

We have now added a new low height option to its range of bottle coolers, providing even more flexibility for creating the perfect refrigerated storage solution for bottled drinks.

Standard models are 900mm high, but the new low height option reduces this to just 850mm.This allows it to be installed under custom-built bespoke bars. While the external height is reduced, they retain generous capacity and all the efficient features of the standard version.

For truly spectacular bottle displays Williams bespoke beverage displays combine maximum visual impact and heavy-duty storage and are a fantastic way to store and display unique beers. Available with glass drawers and mirror-finish stainless exterior the range is the perfect for when looks matter.
