Belgian Faucets

[Gabe]

We are looking for the Belgian style beer faucets like the ones Stone uses, the Trappist in Oakland and others. Short handle and long tube dispense. I can not seem to find a company that deals in these. Please help.
Cheers, Gabe

Pretty sure Foxx Equipment would have it.

Hi Gabe,

Not exactly sure if this is what you are after, but we use a Belgian font for most of our installations and they come from Vervenne & Van Belle NV...which have a site here:

The one negative I have about this tap (I think they call it the Alpha tap) is that the way it is designed it doesn't seem to drain properly after a pour, with the beer held in the tube by vacuum. This can cause a bit of caramel like build up in the tube which requires looking after....make sense? Why do we use them...cause they look cool and we found a bunch that fell off the back of a lorry at the right price...

Cheers,
Jeff

Gabe- I think you are talking about a rotary valve faucet, if so MicroMatic has them.
