Engineering design and project management:
We refer to this as a turn-key brewing plant because our team works in partnership with your architect and general contractor to ensure that the brewery equipment will fit into the area designated for the brewery and that the best combination of functionality and aesthetics are achieved. Upon determining a final brewery layout, utility requirements such as water, steam, electrical, refrigeration, dry oil free air and drainage will be specified, and appropriate connecting locations will be confirmed. The brewery equipment will be delivered and installed including all essential components up to the dispensing of beer in brewpubs and the packaging plant for production breweries.

Business planning:
In preparing a successful brewpub business plan, begin with a well-defined concept, create realistic financial statements to know how and why you will succeed, and apply logic to your site selection decisions. What distinguishes excellent brewpub concepts from average performers? A highly qualified management team, an integrated brand building program, high quality award winning beers, and for operations that combine a pub in their brewery, effective matching of beer and food.

These days, even larger breweries are including restaurant design elements into their factory, to strengthen their customer relationships.

Brewing material ingredients and supplies sourcing:
The art and science of brewing begins with premium quality ingredients necessary to produce rich tasting, fresh flavorful beers. As part of our services we supply high-quality malt, hops and yeast from the U.S., UK, Czech Republic, and Germany, including an excellent selection of organic products.

It's all about the beer:
The history of beer began over 6,000 years ago, much later in 1516 the German's established a purity law to provide assurance of quality, though the beers remained dark and cloudy for centuries thereafter. The first clear golden beer was brewed in 1842 by a visionary German brewmaster for the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Pilsen, Czech Republic, setting a high quality standard that to this day continues to deliver an intensely rewarding taste. The craft beer market is about being passionate about beer and the fantastic local beer cultures originating from Germany, Czech Republic, the UK, and Belgium.
