The modern Brewery provides a sensory experience as much as a beverage. The craft brew segment continues to expand but also alternative beverages such as hard seltzers, fruity flavors, coffee flavors, non-alcoholic and lower calorie beers continue to gain favor. Many breweries have added or expanded tap rooms. US hop acreage expanded dramatically in recent years to enable greater accessibility for domestic breweries. Merchandising provides additional revenue.
The continual innovations and shifting consumer preferences mean that your Brewery must be flexible and agile to deliver innovative beverages timed to market needs, all while managing costs and risk.
The Adroit team helps organizations to improve their agility. By understanding your specific operational challenges, jointly crafting solutions that incorporate best practices, leverage your existing software assets, and where necessary implementing Adroit’s software solutions, you are better positioned to efficiently create and produce beverages in response to newer trends.
Brewing and packaging run on tightly managed batch steps that feed a continuous packaging line. To stay efficient and compliant, breweries need systems that track recipes, lots, quality inputs, and packaging specs from malt intake to finished goods.
Malting & Inputs: Bulk malt lots (diastatic power, attributes) captured in-system; supports adjuncts like corn/rice.
Mash → Boil: Step-mash with lautering to wort; recipe-driven boil with hops/herbs; whirlpool clarifies.
Ferment & Condition: Cooled wort pitched with yeast; secondary steps (lagering, CO₂, barrel aging, filtration); track by-products (spent grain/dregs) for reuse.
Continuous Packaging: BOM-defined SKUs and labels; bottles/cans/kegs filled, sealed, labeled—inner packs, cases, pallets managed end-to-end.
Scaling production adds real complexity. Adroit helps breweries solve forecasting, planning, production, inventory, and distribution challenges—using best practices, your existing systems, and (when needed) Adroit software—to keep growth controlled and profitable.
Integrated S&OP & Forecasting: Align demand by SKU with capacity, inventory (incl. pipeline), keg-pool forecasting, and financial metrics.
Standardize & Digitize: Replace spreadsheets with governed recipe/formulation, standard work across sites, LIMS integration, and end-to-end traceability.
Orchestrate Production–Packaging: Balance brewhouse to packaging, expose true yields and unit costs, and manage keg returns and inventory.
Compliance & Sustainability: Embed GFSI schemes and document control; proactively manage by-products and waste.
