Today’s episode we discuss Brewery Layouts & Designs. To provide some expert advice on this topic I’m joined by our resident brewer & brewery consultant Neil Playfoot, where we chat with John Gonzales from Bespoke Brewing Solutions and his new addition to the team, Justin Fox.

In our conversation we cover what an aspiring brewery owner needs to know from a foundational perspective, including knowing what your budget is, the size of your overall brewery space, monthly & annual production goals, and whether you intend to be more taproom or wholesale sales driven etc.

We then move into a bit of a client consultation, where Bespoke guides myself and you the audience through the process of planning the layout of your equipment within your space and all the important and often overlooked considerations for fitting out your brewery.

It’s a giant episode, with a lot of important visuals shared to better help the audience understand some of the points discussed in today’s episode, which we will be making available on our YouTube channel for all of you to watch also.

In this episode I chat with John Gonzales from Bespoke Brewing Solutions. Originally from Austin, Texas, and at the age of 24 back in 2007 he found himself relocating to China within the IT & Logistics space. During this time he found himself occasionally supplying Stainless steel growlers and soon began building some good connections with people within the brewing industry. In 2014, John started Bespoke Brewing Solutions along with other experienced industry professionals, for the past 6 years now they have been designing breweries and installing equipment all over the world with a good solid list of clients now here in Australia.

Just like Neil from Asian Beer Network in Part 1 of this segment, John offers some cracking information on what to be thinking about when setting up your brewery and the important considerations when picking the shiny bits of stainless to start brewing on.

Having a good repertoire of clients here in Australia, John offers some great insights about the current and future outlook of the craft beer industry in Australia as well.
