Production space
Brewing needs heat, water, drains and cold. Brewhouses use steam or direct-fired kettles, generate steam and humidity, and send large volumes of wastewater to drains. Fermentation and cold storage need glycol cooling and good insulation.
Floors slope to trench drains and must resist caustic cleaners and hot water. Ceilings and walls need smooth, washable surfaces.
Mechanical and electrical systems
Our mechanical crew installs ventilation, makeup air, gas piping, water and drainage, plus glycol system connections. Our electrical crew installs power for pumps, chillers, controls and packaging equipment. Brewing equipment suppliers provide drawings, and we coordinate the rough-ins for utilities.
Wastewater from breweries can be high in strength, so municipal requirements may apply to discharge. We look into this early.
- Floor drains and trenches
- Glycol cooling connections
- Gas and steam supply
- Ventilation for steam and CO2
The taproom
The taproom is where customers experience the brand. Bars, seating, lighting and views into the brewery shape the atmosphere. Our carpenters and millwork team build bars, tables and feature walls. Our electrical and low voltage crews provide lighting, sound and AV.
CO2 safety needs attention, with monitoring and ventilation in cellars and storage.
Plan and permit
Brewery projects involve liquor licensing, health and building approvals. We work with your team to plan the sequence. Equipment lead times can be long, so order early.
Many breweries grow in steps, adding tanks and a packaging line as sales rise. We can plan drains, power, glycol capacity and floor space for the full build-out while installing only what you need now. That avoids tearing out floors later and keeps early costs in check.
Taprooms bring public occupancy, accessibility and fire exit requirements. We plan the brewery and the public space together, so visitors are safe and the brewing floor stays protected from customer traffic.
