Homebrewer, planning to open a brewery or already running one? In just 60 days, you can build a quality system that brews consistent world-class beer 👉 https://youtu.be/NZy7pdDhyEI

What if the thing you love most about your brewery — creating exciting new beers — is the exact reason your brewery is so challenging to manage?

In this episode of Quality Focused Pro Brewers, Hendo from the Rockstar Brewer Academy breaks down a common mistake craft breweries make: bloated tap lists, chaotic production schedules, and too many low-margin SKUs fighting for tank space.

Through Chris's real-world story, you'll learn how narrowing your core range to just the strategic beers can:

• Increase brewery cash flow
• Improve beer quality and consistency
• Reduce ingredient waste and inventory chaos
• Optimize tank utilization
• Lower COGS and boost gross margin
• Create scarcity-driven demand with seasonal releases

This isn't about brewing less.

It's about brewing smarter.
