The Only BA-Approved Beer Line for Long Draw Trunk Bundles
If you're building or servicing a long draw system, barrier tubing isn't optional — it's the standard. The Brewers Association mandates barrier-lined beer tubing for any run over 25 feet because vinyl simply can't hold up: CO2 permeates out, oxygen permeates in, and the result is flat, oxidized beer before it ever reaches the faucet.
Why Barrier Tubing?
- CO2 retention — the barrier layer prevents carbonation from escaping through the tubing wall over long runs
- Oxygen exclusion — blocks O2 ingress that causes staling and off-flavors in sensitive beers
- Flavor-neutral — doesn't impart taste or odor; compatible with all beer styles including lagers, IPAs, and sours
- BA-compliant — meets Brewers Association Draught Beer Quality Manual specifications
