Heineken CFT Beer Tap
Heineken CoolFlow Technology (CFT) focuses on the delivery of draught beer in bars and restaurants. This tap system is designed to keep the beer cool from the keg to the very end of the tap spout. The insulated beer tap is used for tapping various beer brands and can be provided with relevant branding.
Heineken has a strong, international brand image, and this design fits right in. The dispense tap includes a patented cooling technology, which requires space. The challenge was to provide a larger housing while remaining visually slim. The design is modular and can be connected to various beer columns and adapt to the identity of Heineken’s other beer brands.
With the new beer tap, the beer can be cooled from the barrel to the glass. This ensures the quality of the beer, without any product loss.
The beer tap has been recognized with a Good Industrial Design Award and an IDA Gold Award.
