The craft beer industry is on the rise. More and more people love to drink craft beer, and at the same time, more and more people are planning to enter the industry and open a brewery of their own. There are many factors to consider when starting a brewery, of which location selection is a very critical step. Today we are going to talk about how to choose a site for a new small brewery.

Geographical location

Geographical location is very important for new breweries. We need to consider the relationship between the factory location and the sales location. The closer the distance is, the better the transportation is. Second, pay attention to the surrounding environment of the factory site, such as whether there are manure factories, orchards, or toxic factories. The brewery must be located far away from these facilities, otherwise, the brewing quality will be affected. Also, be careful to stay away from the epicenter of infectious diseases.

transportation

Transportation volume now we mentioned that we should consider the relationship between the location of the factory and the location of the sales. What is involved here is the cost of shipping. Too, we also need to consider the cost of transportation, such as the inflow of raw materials, packaging materials and fuel. When planning the site, we need to determine the design and construction of roads, warehouses and cargo yards according to the traffic volume.

terrain

Terrain and terrain The brewery should choose a place with flat terrain, which is conducive to the layout. The terrain should be flat, with a natural slope of about 5/1000, which is conducive to drainage. At the same time, geology, it should be noted that there are no mineral deposits, quicksand, silt, etc. underground, and the groundwater level is below 2.5M above the workshop floor elevation.

source of water

The brewing of beer is inseparable from water. Whether it is brewing water or other water in the factory, it is very expensive. We know that brewing water must meet at least drinking water standards, but generally do not use pure or distilled water to brew beer, because the ion content of pure or distilled water is too low, in the words of some craft brewing experts, "this brewed beer Beer has no bones." So in the brewery site selection process, we need to consider which water source will I use for brewing, and what is the water quality of the site. Because the quality of water determines the requirements for water treatment equipment after the establishment of the plant, the quality of water has a significant impact on the taste of beer. Thus, water quality testing can be carried out before determining the plant site, and the decision can be made about the water quality analysis report.

There are many factors that need to be considered in the selection of a brewery site, such as the regional economic development plan of the local government, the technical and economic cost budget of the manufacturer, and so on. But, the general principles that need to be followed are: make full use of topography, landforms, and geological conditions, plan transportation methods and routes, and consider the use plan of brewing water.
