I'm a beer drinker and I want to know what does the program cost me?
It costs you nothing; it's absolutely free for you.
I want to know what establishments pour better beer, can I get email updates?
Why does the Better Beer program matter?
By our estimates, only 10-15% of bars will meet the criteria. Only half of establishments in Canada clean their lines. Add in dirty glasses, warm beer, mouldy fridges, and improper glasswasher sanitizer levels and you get really bad beer. We check all of this stuff for you. Trust us, when you have seen what we've seen, you'd want to know where to go to get a better pint.
How can I tell if an establishment is certified?
If they are certified they will always be listed on this website as certified under Certified Establishments.
What if an account fails their monthly audit?
Can an account have the sticker and all of your marketing material but not be certified?
When I walk into a bar, can I tell if they are a part of the program?
Why is your temperature criteria measured in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?
Fahrenheit is more accurate that Celsius. We measure temperature down to a tenth of a degree. In one degree Celsius there is 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. So you could say that there are 18 tenths of a degree Fahrenheit inside one degree Celsius. When it comes to measuring your beer temperature, we want to be as accurate as possible.
