German term or phrase: Ihr Dienstleister rund um's Fass und Zapfen
So stellt sich ein Unternehmen vor, das Bierfässer wartet, repariert und aufarbeitet. Mir fällt nichts Griffiges ein.

So far:
your provider of services for everything relating to kegs and dispensing
your service provider for kegs and dispensing

I am sure some of you have a better idea.

(Your service provider) for all your beer dispensing needs


Explanation:
"Dispensing" is definitely a term used in the UK brewing industry. I worked as a bar manager and have completed cellar management courses.

If you're looking for something snappier (as "Fass und Zapfen" has a nice succinct ring about it) - your might consider dropping the "service provider" bit and the "kegs/barrels" part in favour of the addition of "beer".

Asker: Thx. But I need the barrel/keg bit also, as their main activity relates to the keg and not to the dispensing equipment.

Your service provider for barrels and beer taps


Explanation:
My three ha`pence worth based on a long acquaintanceship with both!

I would avoid kegs - they are usually quite small and made of solid metal, not wood and metal hoops.

`Beer taps´ gets some 137K Google hits, and they cover most everything from simple wooden taps knocked in with a mallet (I used to be an expert at that!) to the ornate ceramics and other styles seen in bars/pubs.

  -> Indeed, the tapping of a 20 liter barrel of Altbier after work on Friday was the standard kick-off for a weekend of drunken debauchery in Düsseldorf! It was much appreciated by the troops that 3rd Shock Army chose not to cross the IGB and spoil the fun!

Maintaining your pulling power


Explanation:
Wenn es ein Wortspiel sein darf, wäre vielleicht etwas mit „pulling power“ passend (abzielend auf „to pull a pint/beer = ein Bier zapfen“).

Ensuring your pulling power
Maintaining your pulling power


Denn wenn das Bier läuft, läuft auch das Geschäft. Und dafür, dass das Bier stets läuft, sorgt ja dieser Dienstleister.

Nur so eine Idee - mal sehen, was die Muttersprachler davon halten.

(Your service provider) for all your cellar management needs


Explanation:
Cellar management is a common term for knowledge and practical skills around storing, tapping and serving beer.

It is often the title of courses and several companies market themselves as providers of "cellar management services" (gas canisters, taps, spiles, line cleaning systems, repairs etc.)

Example sentence(s):
  • "the UK ‘s biggest provider of cylinder gases and cellar management services"

We keep your kegs and taps in shape


Explanation:
Or, "we keep your kegs and dispensing equipment in shape", although it's a lot more cumbersome than the original.

A few other ideas...

We keep your kegs and beer in shape
We care about your kegs and taps
Your partner for keg and tap care

Explanation:
it's heavy in German and we need something much "lighter" in English, even if that means not putting in every word

Last effort - modified from previous entries according to comments and additional information. I'm obviously a bit slow this morning. Good luck.
