A brewpub related question

[Elysium]

I have just read this online:

"Breweries typically make the least amount of money selling bottles. The cost of packaging and distribution decrease profits. Selling draft beer straight out of the tap room is extremely profitable. Zero cost of transportation, no middle man, and they can serve it directly from the bright tanks."

The last bit......"they can serve it directly from the bright tanks"....does that refer to a pressurized tank where you store and mature beer, and also force carbonate it?

Yup

Yep, I used to work at Gordon Biersch on Brickell Ave and that's exactly how they stored and served their beer. They had several pressurized bright tanks in a cooler with lines that ran directly to taps at the bar.

That is how my buddy does it at his brewery.
