Brewing Non-Alcohol Beer
Brewing non-alcohol beer is fundamentally different from producing traditional beers that typically contain inherent barriers to ensure consumer safety and shelf stability.
Operational Efficiency
Being small doesn’t mean you don’t need to worry about structure and organization. A brewery making 600 barrels can be just as organized and efficient as one hitting 30,000.
Beer Stability & Freshness
Too often, brewers talk about stability issues as something to react to rather than prevent. Careful consideration in all facets of the brewing process provides a better road map.
Elevating Your Packaging Team
Just as we invest in equipment, it is essential to invest in the people who make packaging happen. Packaging deserves to be treated as a legitimate career path.
Can Crunch
Craft brewers have been forced to scrounge packaging wherever they can, including repurposing “old” cans with makeshift labels and dusting off bottling lines.
Food Safety in Beer Packaging
Since packaging operations are the last set of a brewery’s process steps to touch beer before it’s consumed, it’s essential that breweries pay strict attention to food safety.
Attention to Detail
Monitoring and controlling packaging operations is one of the biggest challenges to beer quality, and it often distinguishes good brewers from great brewers.
Packaging Trends
The history of package mix in beer has been a dance of the respective market shares of cans and bottles, each growing and declining in response to long-term trends.
Thinking Small: Craft Brewers Embrace Smaller Packaging Formats
