Standard Operating Procedures for Regional Craft Brewery

A fast-growing regional craft brewery engaged First Key to develop their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) which involved performing a gap analysis against a list of critical SOPs provided by First Key, writing new SOPs, and aligning the brewery with best practice. First Key trained the team on the new procedures using a “train the trainer” approach and continues with follow-on technical audits and support. First Key also provided an “Opportunities for Improvement” summary document highlighting areas where changes in the equipment/processes can lead to improved process efficiencies, increased capacity, less product loss, greater product quality and consistency, and a safer work environment.
