What is contract brewing? 

Contract brewing is a growing option for craft breweries seeking to expand their production and distribution capabilities. A contract brewery, also known as a partner brewery, is a brewery that agrees to produce beer on behalf of a business that lacks its own brewing facilities. Similarly, contract packaging involves working with a third-party supplier to package and distribute beer.


Who is contract brewing for?

  • Breweries need to increase their production. This may be temporary, pending the purchase of additional equipment or for large orders.
  • Companies that wish to expand their product portfolio.
  • Individuals who want to build a brand before buying equipment.
  • Establishments that would like a bespoke beer (i.e. Pubs, Bars, Hotels, Restaurants, Attractions).
  • Brewpubs that want to offer a wider variety.


Contract brewing can be a cost-effective method for producing beer. It eliminates the need for a brewery to purchase and maintain equipment. It also provides access to established expertise and capabilities from reputable breweries. Small-batch contract brewing is a particularly popular option for those seeking to experiment with new recipes or enter a new market without the overhead associated with setting up a full-scale brewery.

It can save you money in the long term, as the experience of a knowledgeable contract brewer could be invaluable.
