Description
LUKR Baroko side-pour faucet in polished stainless steel – EU shank
The Nostalgie and Baroko faucets from LUKR in Pilsen, Czech Republic, are known around the world for their distinctive design and pouring characteristics. They are made for those who want to pour beer with care, and can have a positive effect on the taste of the poured beer. This Baroko faucet is made of stainless steel with a polished finish and has an EU standard shank.
The side-pour faucet is a Central European invention, found in Czech pubs that really care about beer. The Czech Republic is the birthplace of pilsner, and the side-pour faucet suits pilsner well because it gives plenty of dense, wet foam. It brings out the spicy hop aromas of Saaz in Pilsner Urquell, and its design lets you pour quickly, with wet foam on top and golden pilsner below.
How the faucet works
The faucet is longer than ordinary faucets and should be lowered into the beer as the glass fills. Vertical faucets have a piston valve, but side-pour faucets are built around a ball valve. You open the faucet for more beer and partly close it for more wet foam. A small screen inside the faucet aerates the beer and makes the foam thicker.
A well-poured Pilsner Urquell should have a thick head of dense, wet foam that protects the beer and seals in freshness and flavour.
Tip: Open the faucet partly (10–20 degrees) to build a rich foam, then open it fully to pour beer under the foam.
