  • Properly Using a Keg

    A keg is something that is pretty straightforward and easy to use. But if you are using your keg wrong then you are not getting the best out of it as the beer that you poor will simply not be the best quality! Check out the video below to see how you should be pouring beer from a keg. Remember though, if using a keg where you work, still adhere to the RSA Course rules on serving customers, no matter how good of a beer you pour.

    If you pour the right beer, then your bar will be a favourite and people will want to come back, so get your RSA Certificate so that you can start to work in a bar and have fun pouring.

     

  • Being Your Own Mixologist – After Getting Your Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificate

    By getting your responsible service of alcohol certificate you are allowing yourself to work in any bar or restaurant around Australia. This opens up countless doors, but one of these doors is the one that leads to professional mixology, which can be studied rather intently. You might not think it but new drink mixes are being invented every day, we all remember the ‘flaming homer’ episode of The Simpsons right? If you catch onto a new mix that people love then you could sign it to your name and have the most distinct and popular bar in the town! This is of course a rather unrealistic expectation but nevertheless it could happen!

    Mixology Is More Fun When Serving People – After You Have Your Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Sure it can be fun to mix drinks on your own at home and drink them yourself or with family or friends, and this is quite often necessary when testing drinks you make. But once you have passed that step and think that you have really hit a new mix that people will love, then you will want to serve this drink to people and see how the wider community likes it. To do this you need to get your responsible service of alcohol certificate online. People often mix up the difference between a bartender and a mixologist, and these are fairly widely debated titles so don’t think that one definition is right. If you work behind a bar and mix drinks in your spare time, you could still call yourself a mixologist or a bartender. But there are people who solely focus on mixing drinks (mixologists) and there are people who share no interest in the activity while just simply serving drinks that are already existent (bartenders). It’s up to you to decide which one you want to be, but know that you CAN be both! In my opinion this is what makes bar tending much more fun, the ability to mix drinks and develop something that you can sign your name to and stand by as your specialty. This is something, again, that can only be done when you have completed your responsible service of alcohol course online. One thing to note is that when it comes to bartenders and mixologists, one is not better than the other as people sometimes argue. For more information on Mixology, check out this website!

  • The RSA Course – Have You Served Too Much Alcohol?

    What Does The RSA Course Want Me to do If I’ve Served Too Much?

    If you have served too much to a particular person because they wanted you to, and they are stumbling and too drunk, the RSA course teaches you that there are several things you can do. So don’t worry, you are not alone. If you find yourself in this situation it means that you have already obtained your RSA certificate because you are working in a bar or restaurant, so you will have been trained in what to do when faced with this situation. There are several courses of action that you can take so that the patron returns home safely and does not find himself/herself in any more danger than he is already in

    The RSA Course Suggests!

    Calling Them A Cab

    Calling a drunk patron a cab is probably the easiest option to ensure that they get home safely without any injury being caused under your watch. But sometimes patrons don’t want to go home because they are having such a good time in their drunken state of mind. So you need to try and convince them that they should go home, as being too drunk can be dangerous and they could harm themselves. I realize that it can often be hard to communicate and reason with someone who is inebriated, but you should always remember a few key conversation keys:

    Don’t ever get angry or frustrated at them

    Don’t raise your voice at them

    Never force them to do anything – that will end badly!

    RSA Course suggests – Keeping an Eye on Them

    The RSA Course teaches that if you have served someone too much to drink, and they will not go home – then your only other option is to keep them around and in your sight. This way you can monitor their drinking so that they do not leave the bar and go drink somewhere else. By doing this, you can also monitor what they are doing and you can stop them from causing any violence, because not only will that cause them harm, but it will also mean that you’re bar could get severely damaged.

    This kind of drinker is bad news for your bar, and is bad news for the people in your bar. So apart from keeping them around or calling them a cab home, you could ask their friends to keep them under control as suggested in the RSA course. It’s not desirable to find yourself in this situation but if you do, you should know what to do thanks to the RSA Course. If you don’t already have your certificate and want to work in a bar or restaurant then get online and start your RSA Course today!

     

  • Keeping Up With News on Alcohol

    Higher toll for alcohol abuse

  • The Elusive Perfect Martini – RSA WA

    A Martini Is To Be Personalised – RSA WA

    After scouring the internet for the perfect Martini recipe, one comes to the conclusion that a recipe just isn’t enough, but RSA WA (and all states) have a solution. A list of ingredients can only tell you so much, but video can explain so much more. A martini is something that can either be done in a personalized way that one bartender may do, or it can be done on a standard level. But RSA WA will teach you that a personalized martini, (so long as it tastes good) can be something that will keep customers coming back, and keep them satisfied. Remember, that RSA WA teaches responsible service of alcohol. There is a flair to the shake and a style to the stir that words can’t really describe. The Martini has a long history, and as you can see from these videos, a good Martini is subjective.

    Different Styles of Martini – RSA WA

    This one is close to the classic and shows you how to properly chill a glass. This can be good if you have a customer who is looking for a regular martini, as it gives them a taste of something a little bit different and introduces them into the world of a styled Martini. http://youtu.be/1Jq4tPutdGQ This British video shows 3 different takes on the Martini. You can take your pick of any of these, but don’t forget to try different combinations and make a Martini that is signature to your name. http://youtu.be/M2nOI_UtjqQ This video is very close to the classic recipe, including the well debated orange bitters. Orange bitters are something that is dependent on taste, so you can choose to make yours with or without them, depending on your own experience – teaches RSA WA (and all states). http://youtu.be/N9gFeGImey4 So, as you can see, the search for the perfect Martini will probably end in a debate. Dry versus sweet, bitters versus no bitters, olive versus lemon twist, everyone has their own take on this classy cocktail. But remember, that even if you like a particular martini, it does not mean that everyone else will. So try and make a drink that will impress your audience as not everyone will share your taste, as RSA Training Australia teaches.

    Get online today and complete your RSA WA (or any state) course. This will ensure that you have the right skills to work in a bar around Australia, both safely and with quality.

But one website that stands out is here, idrink offers over 32,000 different drink mixes so that your bar will not run out of ideas and will always be pulling new customers in. It is known that customers respond to new things they have not tried before, so it is also important that you advertise that you are offering a new drink, rather than simply adding it to the menu without telling anyone.

  • Alcohol – Sometimes we underestimate the risks.

    To brush up on the effects of alcohol, you could visit the governments site, or any of those listed below: Drug Facts: Government drug website Alcohol and drug use Dangers of Alcohol More Dangers of Alcohol But working in a bar leaves you responsible for giving people their drinks, and serving the right people the right amount.
