When it comes to serving the perfect pint or a refreshing soft drink, the right food and beverage gas solutions make all the difference. From pubs and bars to cafés, restaurants, and clubs, high-quality beverage gas is essential for carbonating soft drinks and ensuring beers – such as lagers, ciders, stouts, and bitters – have the ideal texture and taste.
A well-balanced gas mix not only enhances the fizz but also contributes to the smooth, creamy mouthfeel of your beverages. Even a single cylinder of subpar gas can compromise the quality of up to 10 kegs of beer, making it crucial to source from trusted suppliers.
Common beverage gas mixes in the UK:
• Mixed Gas 30/70 – ideal for dispensing ales and stouts
• Mixed Gas 60/40 – perfect for lagers
• Mixed Gas 50/50 – suitable for lagers and ciders
• 100% Food-Grade CO₂ – pure carbon dioxide for food and beverage applications
Understanding beverage gas
Beverage gas (or cellar gas) is typically a mix of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Nitrogen (N₂) used in bars for various drinks. It enhances the drinking experience by improving taste, texture, and quality while being safe to handle and easy to use. These cylinders come as CO₂-only or CO₂/Nitrogen mixes and are maintained to British safety standards, making them completely safe for use.
Beverage gas extends the shelf life of draught beers while improving their presentation, making tap beer more enjoyable than bottled alternatives. Sourcing from a reputable supplier ensures that all safety and quality standards are met.
What to look for when buying beverage gas
When purchasing beverage gas, it’s essential to ensure safety and quality. Here are a few critical factors to check:
- The label displaying the gas contents and supplier details should be clearly visible
- The traceability label must be clear and legible
- The valve outlet should be properly sealed
- The cylinder expiry date must be valid
- The test date rings should be intact and up to date
- The cylinder should be in good condition, free from dents, rust, or damage
- Emergency contact numbers should be available in case of any issues
- Risk and safety warnings must be clearly displayed
- The hazard warning symbol (usually a diamond) should be present
All our beverage gas cylinders comply with strict Food Safety Regulations and undergo thorough HSE testing. Every cylinder is supplied within its expiry date and comes in approved containers with appropriate labelling and batch tracking for easy traceability.
