We've been operating with overhead beer lines now for over seven months, and are now actively seeking a solution. What I have is a cooler behind the bar that feeds a python of about 40 feet. This trunk line runs overhead, close to the ceiling, and drops down into the bar through a column and then on to the taps. Each line has a separate regulator. The problem we have been having is that the beer pours nicely up to about a third of the pint glass (20 oz), and then starts to deliver a steady stream of foam. I'm suspecting that the gas is pooling up at the high point, and then just dumping into the glass. Anyone have any ideas for a solution? One suggestion was something called an inline flow restrictor, but I don't know much about this.
Fortunately we don't sell a whole lot of the kegged stuff, since we are an all cask brewery, but this problem will get worse this summer as it gets busier.
