I don't understand and know how bars like Mikkeller or the new Munich Tap-House manage so much taps.

For my opinion around 30 hl per year are necessary fo a tap. The Café Absets has tapped around 180 hl per year as we startet with the contract free period (1997). Now we sell around 350 hl per year (I don't know the exact statistic because I get beers from around 15 sources and don't want to waste my time with statistics and we sell many bottles take-away). Around half of the volume comes from the taps, that's around 180 hl, enough maybe for 6 taps..

We have - before 15 years - decided for 5 taps. Now it would be easier for me to have one tap more. So I can tap 2 beers of the month parallel, tap the new before the last beer is sold out. But it would be difficult to built a further line.

I can't believe that other bars have 20 keg beers without problems.

The Finkenkrug in Duisburg (more than 250 bottles and 24 taps
