Beer taps often generate foam and spillage which usually runs down the drain. A glass placed below the grating might instead collect this runoff and be awarded to some brave soul who might not be too discerning of the taste.
Here in the Colonies the taps are invariably Pilsners and light at that,
so these dregs will be a mix that tastes like BudBuschCoorsLite. Bleah, but it might not taste too terrible especially to an inebriated regular.

In the pubs where I worked, each tap had its own wee bucket that the spillage fell into. I have tasted those single estate dregs and they taste n a s t y. I cannot imagine the flavour sensation of a dregs cocktail. Yikes. |

I see an opportunity here for an idea where The Slops (as we call them where I live) are served up again and again, with the inevitable slops from these then being sold again, until there is a lengthy apparatus in place that facilitates repeated slop recovery and resale. The final taps would be only for the most determined drinkers, who will swallow anything if it's cheap enough. |

You could distill it and make vodka. Leave all the crap behind. |

YOU could call it vodka - but having made vodka (from wheat), I don't think it's appropriate. At best, you'd be making beer-tinged distillate. |

Or gin, or vodka.
It's actually more about what else you do than the feedstock.

You could take your dreg extract and mature it in oak barrels ( and probably do some other little tricks), and make whisky... but I think you'd struggle to brand it as a premium product. |

Maybe it would help to go Turkish, and add anise as they do with their 'raki'? |

Actually, a malted and fermented "wash" made from grain is distilled to make whisky. If you added some hops to that wash that is commonly viewed as "beer", although there are beers that don't use hops. |

I think distilled beer would only be distilled beer. Although, if you'd like to perform some experiments, contact me and come visit. |
