At a craft beer bar in Brooklyn called Queue Beer , all of the 24 taps feature premium and hard-to-find beers but one tap faucet stands apart from the rest. Its a top-of-the-line, Czech-made Lukr side-pull faucet. Rarely seen even in top beer bars, it requires a special technique to properly operate, allowing for more nuanced control of beer flow than the standard on-off tap faucet.

On top of hours of ingredient prep, mixing cocktails, counting tips, and closing tabs, bartendending requires countless verbal interactions every day. And one customer request that comes up more than others is for a drink thats not too sweet. In all fairness, the trauma that comes with getting burned by an overly sweet drink can be long-lasting. Perhaps a dive bar Marg with an egregious dollop of store-bought sweet-and-sour mix resulted in the headache of a lifetime.

In the last five years, there are few American companies that have carved out a spirits niche quite like Found North. A non-distilling producer, the brand specializes in blended Canadian whisky at cask strength, which often includes a wide range of aged components in addition to intricate cask finishes. Perhaps most impressively, they’ve grown by marketing to bourbon consumers, not a group traditionally known for its love of Canadian distillate.

Although most of the work that goes into a good pint of beer happens at the brewery, the final touch comes down to how a bartender dispenses it out of the draft line. And the level of foam, or head, on a beer can be a big factor in how beer enthusiasts perceive their pints. If theres not enough foam, the beer not only looks dull, but it will also lack the soft mouthfeel that comes with a steady level of dispersed bubbles.
