About Us

There are only a few people who know the intricacies of bar design and draft beer systems like Pat Fischer. Pair him with our expert on Perlick equipment, Joe Restivo, and you haven’t met a more knowledgeable duo.

With our team members combined 200+ years of knowledge on beverage dispensing, we have learned a thing or two along the way. When most bar owners call us and say, “I need a beer tower,” we know that what they really mean is they need an entire draft beer system. It is the intricacies and details behind the scenes that matter most in keeping your beverage line working efficiently.

In 1988, Pat Fischer became a representative for the Perlick Corporation. Since then, the team has grown to over 10 people and the territory now stretches to 17 states. At Authentic Parts Supply Company, you could say we are just a bit passionate about quality beverage dispensing in well-designed and organized systems.

Joe’s passion for beverage dispensing has a long history. “I started with Perlick in 1974. For the first 8 years, I worked in manufacturing building trunk housings and dispensing towers. Back in those days, we only made two to six line trunk housings with a max length of 150 feet. We had three styles of dispensing towers: draft arms, under-counter space-saver heads or the T-tower with up to six faucets.

After 8 years, I was asked to move into the office as a sales engineer for the beer side of the business. As a sales engineer, I worked with reps and customers troubleshooting dispensing issues and equipment issues and taking orders for equipment — basically anything to do with beer, I worked on — even quoting stadium jobs and balancing the system based on the configuration.
