Beverage gas in Denver

Beverage gas in Denver has one variable sea-level suppliers rarely mention: altitude. At 5,280 feet the atmosphere pushes back less on your regulator, so a draft system set from a sea-level chart pours flat. We supply beverage-grade CO2, food-grade nitrogen and blended beer gas across the metro from our E 51st Ave depot and set the pressure for where your bar actually is.

Beer gas in Denver, set for a mile up

The Brewers Association's Draught Beer Quality Manual gives the rule of thumb: atmospheric pressure drops by about 1 psi for every 2,000 feet of elevation, so add about 1 psi to the regulator setting for every 2,000 feet. In Denver that is roughly 2.5 psi above a sea-level setting.

Miss it and the beer slowly loses carbonation in the keg. Overcorrect it on a long run and you get foam at the faucet. We set the blend and the pressure together, from your line length, rise and cooler temperature, and the TruFusion blender holds a CO2 and nitrogen mix to plus or minus 2 percent.

CO2 for restaurants in Denver, fountain and draft on one account

Most Denver restaurants run fountain soda and draft beer off the same back room. Straight CO2 suits fountain and short draft runs; blended gas suits long runs and nitro taps. Both come on the same delivery and the same invoice.

  • Beverage-grade CO2 for fountain, soda water and short draft lines
  • Beer gas blended to your draw length and nitro taps
  • Food-grade nitrogen in cylinders, or a NITRO-DRAUGHT generator on site
  • Delivered through an external fill box where a bulk system is installed

One Colorado bar owner's verdict

Mark Springs of Tap's Sports Bar in Colorado used our system with a Nitro-Blend generator, and wrote this for our original site:

The Green CO2 System and their Nitro-Blend Generator is the best out there! Thank you for everything! Your service is second to none and the fastest service in town! I will remain a loyal customer!

Denver venues with long runs

Basement coolers feeding a street-level bar, stadium-style multi-bar layouts and taprooms with a cold room at the back all share one problem: distance from keg to faucet. Each extra foot of line needs pressure to push the beer, and at altitude the right pressure is already higher than a sea-level chart says. Blended gas is how those systems pour cleanly.

Common questions

Yes, usually about 2.5 psi above a sea-level chart, following the Brewers Association rule of adding 1 psi per 2,000 feet. We set it during the assessment rather than leave you to guess from a chart printed for the coast.

Long draw lines usually need blended gas rather than straight CO2, because straight CO2 at the pressure needed to push beer that far over-carbonates it on the way. We check the blend against line length on site.

Where a bulk system with an external fill box is installed, yes, and nobody comes through the bar to do it.
