We provided trained and alcohol licensed staff to work both alongside the client team, and work independantly. They were responsible for setting up the bar, operating within the risk assessment and H&S guidelines, and cleaning down and closing the bar afterwards. Responsibilities also included cash handling and managing sampling and sales, plus talking about the product to customers and feeding back to the office at the end of the day.

We installed a two tap, draft beer system that would connect to the client’s kegs. The system was designed to chill the beer instantly on arrival, saving time for set up. The beer chilled perfectly in the 2018 summer – the joint hottest on record in the UK, with daytime temperatures consitantly above 30 degrees, which resulted in high demand for beer sales. We trained our staff on the beer system’s function and branded the system to represent the IPA being served.

Where making sales and sampling, we unsured that the team were compliant with the Portman Group guidelines. This included adherance to the specifics around sampling outside supermarkets.

Our team handed out coupons and engaged with the public to raise awareness of the IPA being sampled. We made sure that we managed our cups, trays and jugs in stock, and purchased ice when sampling from cans.

For long distance travel, we managed logistics, including transportation for the branded campervan bar hire and travel and accomodation arrangements for staff.

This included facilitation around access constraints and security regulations for each event, and regional secure storage of the vehicle throughout the tour. Where working at a multi-day event, where neccesary, we arranged for staff to remain with the campervan overnight.
