The equipment need

Launched at the end of 2025, this craft brewery already sold its beer in bottles and kegs to grocers, wine shops, restaurants and a regional distributor, but relied on contract brewing that was costly and inflexible.

The owner wanted to brew and package on site, in premises already fitted out, to gain independence and improve margins.

  • Fermentation tanks
  • Packaging line

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a 60-month equipment lease covering the brewhouse, fermentation and packaging, without drawing on the start-up cash.

The lease complemented the first pieces of equipment the business had already bought used.

The reported operational outcome

The brewery brought its production in-house, gained flexibility and improved its margin on each batch.
