Perlick in Berkeley
Perlick commercial service.
Berkeley's bar and cafe work sits on the Shattuck, Telegraph, and 4th Street corridors. Those rooms run Hoshizaki and Manitowoc ice up front, but the back bar behind the taps is where Perlick lives. Beer-dispensing systems, back-bar coolers, and undercounter boxes in the cocktail and beer-forward spots. A lot of these buildings are old retail conversions with the keg walk-in in a basement and a long draft run up to the bar.
That long-line layout is where Perlick draft systems go warm at the tap. The glycol chiller can read fine while the beer still pours foamy and warm. Usual cause is trunk-line insulation that has soaked up condensate, or glycol that has drifted out of spec. Back-bar units in tight Berkeley kitchens also ice the evaporator when a stretched door gasket lets warm room air in during rush. Both tend to hit on a busy night, which is when a Berkeley bar can least afford a dead box.
Common repairs we handle.
- Warm beer on a long basement-to-bar draft run. Check glycol percentage, flush if it has drifted, re-insulate the leg between the chiller and the tower. Berkeley's basement keg layouts are the worst offenders.
- Back-bar evaporator iced over. Stretched door gasket from doors propped open during rush. We carry OEM gaskets in 24 and 36 inch and swap one in under 30 minutes.
- Glycol chiller running but not holding. Condenser coil packed with kitchen grease and lint, or low glycol. We clean the coil and verify chiller pulldown before we leave.
- Back-bar door cylinder and hinge wear. Heavy service loosens the door. We rebuild the door if the panel is good rather than replace the whole assembly.

FAQ
Perlick in Berkeley questions, answered.
-
How fast can you get to a Berkeley bar after hours?
The after-hours line, (925) 999-4095, is staffed for Friday and weekend calls. From our San Ramon base Berkeley is 35 to 45 minutes off-peak, and same or next-day visits are the norm. For a dead back bar or a draft system down on a busy night, call and we will tell you honestly when we can be there. -
Why does our Perlick beer pour warm when the glycol chiller looks fine?
On a long draft run the chiller can be working and the beer still comes warm. Usual cause is trunk-line insulation that has absorbed condensate or glycol concentration that has drifted. We test the glycol, flush it if needed, and re-insulate the supply leg to the tower.
