Need keg dispensing equipment? Here’s a giant auction that includes techy, hands-free electronic pour systems

May 1, 2023Keith Gribbins

Sestra Systems is a Sterling, Virginia-based manufacturer of smart, cloud-connected dispensing equipment. The company makes (made?) these cool TapWise dispensing solutions for wine, beer and basically any product you’d like to serve via a tap.

These small, modular TapWise dispensing systems allow owners to electronically control each pour with cool technology like:

  • Push to Pour controls (fast, intuitive, push-button controls that improve service quality and speed);
  • a Pour Control System (electronically dispense every serving with precision down to a fraction of an ounce);
  • Touchless Tap (hands-free taps that ensure a smooth, fresh pour every time) and
  • Smart FOB (designed to keep your beverages flowing smoothly by controlling the pressure and preventing foam from filling the line).

Just consider the benefits of pouring a precise pint of beer every time with no hands — create less waste (no more buckets of foam), eliminate theft, increase speed, keep it super clean and make employees and customers happier.

Sestra TapWise.

I bring this up because the entire contents of a former Sestra Systems site located in Sterling is currently up for auction — due to a complete plant closure. Capital Recovery Group (CRG) is facilitating the auction for the custom beverage dispensing system manufacturer.

In fact, bidding has already started, and the online-only auction will begin closing on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.

There’s a lot of things being sold here, but some of these dispensing systems are like $100 right now. View the entire auction right here.

It’s not just dispensing equipment. Highlights of this auction include:

  • complete portable beer and wine bars;
  • spirits and cold-brew dispensers assembly, test and prototype equipment;
  • 36- to 84-in. kegerators;
  • portable bar units, assembled and ready to outfit;
  • service vehicles;
  • field service kits and tools;
  • woodshop and machine shop equipment;
  • warehouse equipment and racking;
  • stainless steel tables and benches;
  • complete IP and IT asset package;

  • computer system components including microprocessors and PCB boards;
  • flexible plastic and copper tubing;
  • all stainless steel fittings and hardware;
  • stainless steel and aluminum components;
  • electrical wire and harnesses and HOLY CRAP THAT’S A LOT. Personally, I’m hot for this 3D printer for the CBB offices.
