Polar Beer Taps

Henrik Beverage Systems, also known as Polar Beer Taps, is a Canadian company providing advanced portable draft beverage solutions. The company's core offering is a proprietary, patent-pending technology called Permafrost™ Cooling Technology, which is engineered to chill beverages like beer, wine, and mixed drinks instantly as they are poured from a warm keg. This process eliminates the need for conventional refrigeration or ice, allowing for rapid setup and service in diverse environments such as stadiums, festivals, and pop-up events.

Operationally, the business model includes direct rentals of their mobile draft systems, with custom pricing based on duration, volume, and specific operational needs. They offer different models, such as "The Flex," a three-tap system with external kegs, and "The Rover," a mobile bar on wheels with three internally housed kegs, both of which are battery-operated and do not require an external power source. The technology is designed for high-volume scenarios, capable of pouring up to 18 drinks per minute while significantly reducing foam waste to less than 5oz per keg change, a reduction of up to 30% compared to traditional systems. This efficiency, combined with flow rate tracking to monitor pours, helps maximize a venue's profit per keg.

The company started with just two prototypes and has since scaled its operations significantly. It secured $2.7 million in funding, including an initial seed round of $1.1 million, which facilitated the transition from prototypes to having 20 machines in the market. This funding was instrumental in expanding production to 200 machines and exploring new product lines for home and outdoor kitchen units. A key part of the company's value proposition is its environmental impact; by avoiding the need for refrigeration and reducing reliance on canned beverages, the system saves a notable amount of CO2 emissions for every keg poured.
