Install Beer is a company specialized in technology, equipment and technical service for beverage dispensing. This post was originally published in 2014, coinciding with the launch of the online store, and now serves as an editorial archive of our history, interviews and recognitions.
We work with very different needs: from compact equipment and spare parts to professional installations for bars, restaurants, breweries, events and other beverage projects. The technical goal is always the same: for the product to reach the point of service in the intended condition, with a balanced, hygienic and maintainable system.
A track record rooted in beer and dispensing
Install Beer’s history goes back to 1996. The experience accumulated in technical service, installation and troubleshooting made it possible to accompany the evolution of craft beer in Spain from its early stages to its gradual professionalization.
The online store began operating in 2014 to bring specialized equipment closer to customers who needed to identify, compare and replace components more easily. Since then, the activity has combined e-commerce, technical advice, pre-installations, setups and maintenance.

What we do
Installation and technical consulting
Each system must be adapted to the beverage, flow rate, temperature, distance and venue conditions. That is why a professional recommendation is not limited to choosing a tap: it takes into account cooling, pressure, gas, tubing, connections, safety, operation and maintenance.
On our dispense system installation page we explain the scope of the service and the data needed to study each case.
Cleaning, maintenance and service continuity
A well-designed installation needs cleaning and inspection procedures. Preventive maintenance reduces incidents, protects beverage quality and makes it easier to detect wear, leaks or imbalances before they affect service. See our line cleaning and maintenance solutions.
Equipment, components and spare parts
The store brings together solutions for different stages of the keg-to-tap system. You can start with the beer dispensers collection or browse the categories according to the component you need. If there is any compatibility doubt, it is best to confirm measurements, threads and working conditions before placing the order.
Install Beer in interviews and the media
The following external publications document different moments in the company and the sector. They are kept as historical sources; the figures, plans and circumstances they describe correspond to the date of each interview and should not be interpreted as current commercial information.
Quality from keg to glass
In 2019, Sergio Lario explained in Factoría de Cerveza the importance of consulting, pre‑installations and maintenance to preserve the drink’s characteristics. The interview also places the origin of Install Beer in 1996 and the launch of the website in 2014.

The origins of the craft movement in Catalonia
In 2021, Salvador Marimon remembered Steve Huxley and the pioneering days of Humulus Lupulus. The interview provides context on the movement’s early years and on the need to improvise solutions when there were hardly any specialized materials or suppliers.

Steve Huxley Award 2022
In 2022, Salvador Marimon received the Steve Huxley Award in recognition of his career and his contribution to the early development of the microbrew movement. A later interview reviews that period, the sector’s professional evolution and the value of technical experience.

From historical archive to current service
These interviews help explain where we come from, but product, service and market configurations evolve. To check current information, always use the up-to-date store pages and request technical confirmation when a decision depends on compatibilities, measurements or installation conditions.
If you need to prepare an installation, locate a spare part or review an existing system, tell us the type of beverage, number of taps, distance between keg and point of service, available cooling and intended use via our contact form.
Frequently asked questions
Does Install Beer work only with beer?
No. The experience was originally closely tied to beer, but many dispensing technologies are also used for other beverages. The specific choice of materials and parameters must always be adapted to the product.
Can I buy components without hiring an installation?
Yes. The online store allows you to purchase equipment, components and spare parts. When compatibility is not obvious, we recommend checking with us before buying.
Do the interviews contain up‑to‑date commercial information?
Not necessarily. These are dated sources that document the evolution of Install Beer and the sector. For current prices, availability, geographic reach and services, check the store or contact the team.
