The only things you need to make your own beer is the right beer equipment and supplies. Microbrew beers have become all the rage in the restaurant and food industry. You can find microbrew beer (something in between homemade beer and commercial beer) at restaurants, pubs, taverns and ale houses. For those individuals who are interested in making microbrew or other types of beer for commercial sale, it boils down to the right beer making equipment.
Commercial beer brewing equipment is sold to a wide range of beer makers, from small local breweries to larger brewers who ship their beer all over the country.
Commercial beer brewing equipment covers every stage of beer making from selecting the right kind of hops and yeast to pouring the perfect pint. Here are the different areas of beer making equipment:
Buy the freshest ingredients through beer making suppliers
The basic ingredients of beer are hops and yeast. However, not all are created equal. Different hops and yeast produce different kinds of beers, from lagers to Guinness. Consulting a professional as to which kind of beer would best suit your brewing style will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
I recommend: Consult the professionals at
The Brew Hut, a beer-making supplier who carries all the supplies you need to brew your own beer, either commercially or for personal use. The company carries a large line of beer brewing supplies, including yeasts, hops and malt extracts and flavoring agents.
Beer-Wine.com sells a nice
brewing kit with all you need to make 2 cases of 12 oz bottles.
Keep beer fresh and great tasting after production
Once you have brewed your beer, you will store it in kegs to keep it tasting fresh. Beer should always be stored and served cold. There are a variety of different beer meister systems that will keep beer chilled, both for restaurant bars and parties. A kegerator (yes, that's its real name) is another piece of beer making equipment that allows you to pour beer directly from the keg without having to set up a beer tower and beer lines. CO2 and nitrogen air tanks are another important factor in keeping beer fresh and free of foam.
I recommend: Beverage Factory carries everything you need to properly store and serve beer. They carry beer coolers, CO2 and nitrogen air tanks, beer check gas analyzers, kegerators and keg adapters. You can also find beer meisters for sale at
BeerMeister.com.
Wow your customers with commercial brewing equipment
Beer equipment includes marketing wares, such as tap handles, coasters, pint glasses and other retail merchandise. Show off your beer with tap handles that feature your custom logo. Pint glasses, tee shirts and ball caps are also popular ways to market your beer.
I recommend: Taphandles.com is a beer equipment vendor who specializes in custom-made tap handles. You can pick from wood, metallic and even custom beer tap “sculptures.” Taphandles.com also does signage for your brewery logo.
