Clean, balanced draft systems are the foundation of great-tasting beer.

We provide expert cleaning, repair, installation, and consultation for restaurants, bars, and event spaces across Tacoma and the South Sound.

Why Draft Beer Lines Need Regular Maintenance

Draft beer lines need regular cleaning and maintenance, even if you don’t change your tap lineup!

The Brewers Association recommends cleaning draft systems every two weeks and replacing lines every 12-18 months. Dirty draft lines can lead to foaming issues ($$$ beer loss) and undesirable off-flavors in all draft beverages, which often leads to returned product ($$$ money loss for your business). Unmaintained draft systems also can lead to problems with gas leaks and failing glycol systems, which are costly to repair or replace.

The Funk Busters strictly follow the Brewers Association Draft Beer Quality Manual cleaning guidelines. We pay attention to detail and troubleshoot issues as we see them. In addition, we set up a regular schedule with all of our clients, and show up on time on cleaning days.

The Funk Busters have been keeping draft systems fresh since 2020.

Greer and Bethany are local Tacoma residents with 20+ years of professional brewing experience, including draft system maintenance. We are passionate about beer and take pride in our work cleaning draft lines, ensuring your customers are always offered the best-tasting pint possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greer has been awesome to work with. He’s super reliable, efficient, and always willing to answer my questions. He’s helped keep my lines clean and even ran all new ones during my remodel, keeping it looking very organized. Couldn’t recommend him more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At Peaks & Pints, we’ve danced with many line cleaners, but only The Funk Busters bring the groove — sliding in tight, professional, and funky-fresh, leaving our beer flowing clean and crisp all the way to faucets that sparkle like a horn section in full blast.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My organization has been thrilled with the level of service provided by the Funk Buster team. FB is punctual, reliable, and goes about their work with the utmost professionalism. Our beer COG's have gone down due to less foam, while the quality of our tapped product has noticeably improved. Thank you for the wonderful service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greer has been super helpful with our draft cleaning and service needs and it’s clear that Funk Busters knows what they’re doing. I believe we run a pretty high quality beer program and they are part of the reason why.
