How Does a Quality Control Plan Consist for Your Brewery?
Food safety programs can help position new and established microbreweries to stay competitive on the craft beer market or even expand into new markets. The ultimate goal is to prevent revenue losses that can result from producing contaminated beer, which may end up down the drain, or costly product recalls.
1. DISCUSSION
Establish initial baseline (overview) of the craft brewery’s production when brewing takes place. |
2. IDEAS
Proposal focused on optimizing processes, maximizing the efficiency and quality of beer. |
3. IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation of the Quality Control/Assurance plan. |
4. FOLLOW-UP
Follow-up by continuous evaluation of the Quality Control plan for the achievement of the predetermined objectives. |

“We would like to thank you for coming to our brewery and reviewing our quality control program. I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and learned an enormous amount. Although we had the basics in place, it was great to learn how important the little details can be. Thanks to you we now have all the quality control points laid out and written down in step-by-step procedures for us to follow. It was great to learn more about microbiology, what to look for and a review of basic procedures. Thanks for explaining how important it is to have a sampling plan and helping us to set it up.
