- Breweries are awesome.
(guitar music)
We're a turnkey provider
of craft brewing equipment.
We do breweries from,
basically from 5 barrel
to 40 barrel in size.
- We set up micro breweries
and get everything you need
to start brewing beer.
- From the frontend
equipment, which might be
water treatment,
glycol chillers, steam boilers --
- Brew houses, fermentors, bright tanks.
- Pretty much anything you need
to start up a micro brewery.
(guitar music)
- We build keg washers,
we manufacture the grain mills here,
and we're now getting
into packaging equipment.
- We sell and install all
the equipment and service it
but we don't actually
do any of the brewing.
Which is kind of disappointing.
I have some home brewing
background, so I'd love
to have one of these
machines in my garage.
(guitar music)
- Once we get in front of
people, and we show them
our Midwestern work ethic,
that a hand shake actually
means something, they get right away,
that we're not trying to pull
any wool over anyone's eyes.
- You're new to us and we're new to you,
but as we start building
that relationship and
hearing about your ideas,
it's hard not to get
super pumped up about
what you have going on.
- It's their dream,
and it's our job, our
responsibility to basically
make that dream come true.
I don't think it's an easy
thing to put together.
It's not an easy dream to go and get.
It's a huge investment,
that these folks are making,
in what we provide.
- We're dead serious
about what we want to do.
We want to do the best job we can for you,
in the most timely fashion for you.
When it's all said and
done, we want to have some
laughs with you, too.
Have a couple of cold beers.
(guitar music)
- We do a lot of customization
of equipment here
because every brewer is different:
It's like a fingerprint.
They all do things a
little bit differently,
they have different demands.
- We want to make equipment
for them that's going to
equip them to make
different kinds of beers,
different styles.
- We have very knowledgeable staff here,
that are happy to be on hand.
Sometimes they leave within a days notice.
If something's going on, we'll be there.
- They're not going to be,
number one, dealing with
multiple different companies
to get all their equipment.
They can rely on us to take
care of everything for them.
- When Matt and I started this company,
we decided to do everything right.
- If you have to take an extra day or so,
just to make sure the
quality's there, we do it.
- We basically put the best
components that we can find
here in the Unites States,
onto those brew houses.
Your mash lauter tun going to have
an SEW Euro drive motor on it.
- We get everything ready
to go here and test it,
and then we ship it.
When we get down to the customers,
we know the equipment runs
but we want to teach them
how to use it.
If we need to change
anything to their liking,
so it's a better user interface,
we can do that for them.
- Our engineers do all the programming
so we can specialize as
far as if someone has
a custom feature in their brewing process,
we can adapt to that.
- We build things the right way.
We take quality to heart.
- You know, probably the
best feeling you can get,
is when you get that call after
everything's been installed,
and the actual brew master is
on the other end of the line
and he is raving about the efficiencies
of the brew house.
His boil off rates and
different things like that.
- I can't go to certain
cities without staying
at somebodies house,
because they won't let me
get a hotel.
We have those beautiful friendships that
mean a lot to us.
That have come out of a
business relationship.
- That's one of the parts
that I look forward to most.
Is getting out there and
seeing these different
breweries and operations.
- I truly want our customers
five years from now
to call me, or if I stop by their brewery,
when they start yelling when
I come through the door,
I want them to actually be yelling for me
to have a cold beer.
Not about some problem they've had
that we've never resolved.
That's my goal.
(guitar music)
- It's extremely rewarding to
be a part of somebody's dream.
To be a part of their success.
That's what drives me.
That's what's important.
