News from The 5th Ingredient

Pelican Brewing is fortunate to be growing rapidly.

As a Brewer, Beer30 has made my job much easier. Things such as a live inventory of all Raw Materials have helped us plan out the brewing schedule with ease. So many times before Beer30 we would scramble at the last minute to find substitutes for grain that we thought we had, causing us to push back brew dates and move things around. Frustrating, I know. Many other programs we have used in the past were not as user friendly, and we spent more time fixing bugs and learning the software than brewing itself.” [Read More]

From the moment we saw it and had a look through, we loved the system. Its brewery side features are brilliant, intuitive and comprehensive. … What really blew us away was the speed of implementation. 24 hours from decision to go with Beer30 and we had loaded our inventory, stock, what was in our tanks and set up for packaging. Then 36 hours after decision, we were brewing with the support of Beer30.” [Read More]
