The Weiler team last week had just picked up a new contract with Caddy’s and had stopped by to install their equipment.

While working on the installation, pressurizing lines and making sure there are no small leaks, Weiler employee Michael Butler said for his job he needs to be able to help everyone from home brewers to restaurant chains know what they need to do for that perfectly carbonated pour.

“It’s a lot of science and a lot knowledge. And continuous knowledge,” said Butler, who went to a special training with McDantim Gas Blending Technologies and attends brewing trade shows to keep up with what’s new.

The team has the perfect pour down to a science and can rattle off trivia on the right mix of specialty gases for a lager or the proper way to serve a Guiness, which can at times make it challenge not to back seat drive when out at a bar.

David Radominski, general manager, said after focusing on their beverage division, they’ve been able to double how many customer accounts they annually add.

The business serves customers as east as Springfield, north as Sidney, west as Richmond, Ind., and as south as northern Kentucky.

“We’ve got lucky that the area has embraced craft beer,” said Radominski.
