Doff Tap

Draft Cleaning Service

Doff Tap is an independently owned business based in Portland. Whether you feature two or twenty-two taps, properly cleaned lines safeguard the flavor and appearance of your product. Regular line cleaning by Doff Tap will effectively dissolve the organic protein, mold and bacteria that build up over time and alter the finished product. This article by The Brewers Association breaks down the importance of line cleaning.

Technique

The Doff Tap process uses an electric pump to generate a constant turbulent flow that recirculates cleaning agents throughout the entire draft system. Included with every service appointment, taps are disassembled, scrubbed and thoroughly examined for any irregularities. Troubleshooting and suggested equipment upgrades are never implemented without consultation and consent.

About me

My name is Brian Dufour, I've enjoyed working and growing with Portland‘s ever changing restaurant industry since 2004. I‘m honored to follow in the footsteps of Ken Knepper, who‘s extensive training has paved the way for myself and several other independent tap cleaners. My objective is to provide honest service with clear communication and respect for all the moving parts that contribute to a successful operation.

“I could not have imagined or hoped for a better person to continue my tap cleaning business of 22 years. Brian Dufour is probably the friendliest person I have ever met. His customer service and professionalism are first class. Brian possesses superb attention to detail and understanding of the importance of draught systems maintenance. I am pleased to endorse Brian and Doff Tap.”
