Brian J. Sullivan had been a bar owner for six years when he got the flash of inspiration that begat the SulliPlug™. Designed to ward off fruit flies and other flying pests that have plagued bartenders for years, the SulliPlug actively changes how any bar business is operated.
"There's no question that flies buzzing around a beer tap is an unappetizing sight," says Sullivan. "But no matter how clean we keep the bar, it seems you never get rid of them. We cleaned the taps daily at my own place, yet we continued to have a very visible fruit fly problem„they swarmed around the beer taps in the morning, because there was always just enough beer residue to attract them.î
Sullivan began regularly visiting other bars and couldn't help notice that bartenders often used napkins or plastic wrap to cover the taps„which usually proved ineffective. Then one day in 2001, Sullivan thought of creating a reusable plug to seal up the taps at night so that bugs would stay away. And not just any old plug, but one that came with some sort of cleaning apparatus attached. The plug would therefore perform a two-in-one function: warding of flies as well as giving an extra cleaning to the tap's interior in the process, helping prevent the buildup of bacteria, yeast and "beer stone" (calcium deposits).
Sullivan began working on prototypes with the help of his partner, brother Matt Sullivan. He went through five different models before hitting on the perfect combination of design and materials that he dubbed the SulliPlug. Easy to use, the SulliPlug is inserted into the beer tap and the brush's bristles impart extra cleaning action to the inside of the tap. Once in place, the SulliPlug's tight fit ensures that no beer residue will escape overnight and attract gnats and fruit flies.
The invention of the SulliPlug has made a huge difference in bars because there are no more fruit flies to annoy bartenders and patrons alike. You can rest assure that any tap that uses the SulliPlug is the cleanest tap around. The SulliPlug is quickly becoming an absolutely essential component of a clean, pest-free bar.
