October 27 is National American Beer Day, an occasion to celebrate American brewing and the hospitality that surrounds a well-poured beer. For Forbes Industries, it is also a fitting moment to spotlight a recent purchase by American Airlines.
The airline selected a Forbes Industries mobile back bar equipped with kegerators and taps. With its white exterior and gold-tone accents, the featured unit brings draft beer service into a polished presentation suited to upscale hospitality spaces.
Draft Service with a Refined Look
The configuration combines two kegerators beneath the counter with two tap towers above, keeping refrigerated keg storage and draft dispensing together. The open upper shelf adds room for display, while the surrounding cabinetry gives the equipment a cohesive, finished appearance.
When a back bar is visible to guests, its finish and proportions become part of the room’s design. Here, the refrigeration is framed within the cabinetry and the taps sit neatly on the counter, creating a beverage station with the presence of hospitality furniture.
Flexibility for Changing Spaces
For hotels, lounges, and event venues, mobility opens up options for where a beverage station belongs. A mobile back bar can be repositioned as room layouts and service needs change, giving operators flexibility when planning a reception, hospitality area, or special event.
Pair it with a coordinating front bar to create a complete beverage station. Shared finishes carry the design across the service area, with a welcoming counter for guests and a dedicated back bar for beverage preparation.
A Fresh Reason to Feature American Beer
National American Beer Day offers a natural occasion to highlight a regional brewery, introduce a seasonal selection, or feature a familiar American favorite. A thoughtfully arranged draft station can give that selection a clear place in the room and invite conversation about what is on tap.
For operators considering a similar setup, start with the beers you want to offer, the available service area, and the look you want guests to experience. Those choices can guide the conversation about the right configuration.
We appreciate American Airlines choosing Forbes Industries, and we are proud to share this example of draft beer service with style.
