A craft brewery that operates both a taproom as well as distributes their beer to their local market, requested the expertise of First Key to complete a comprehensive review and evaluation of their beers, including their processes, beer styles/recipes, staffing, and equipment operation, as well as a sensory review in order to assess quality and flavor stability. Through on-site visits, the First Key technical team partnered with the brewery team to review these areas. Several areas for improvement and recommendations were made that helped improve the clients’ procedures and general practices regarding general and vessel sanitation, yeast pitching, recipes, and quality control testing.
