Working with Our Team on Your Microbrewery Design

Working with General Steel is a collaborative process that ensures that your final product reflects your specific needs. The process starts with a two-way conversation between you and our experienced team. We want to know exactly how you’ll be using your brewery, how it fits within your property, and your ideas for interior and exterior design, among other factors. We then research the location of the building to ensure that your brewery facility is equipped to withstand the wind and snow loads of your area as well as any insulation requirements.

Once we get an idea of what building kit best suits your project, we work with you to add customization options, including a wide variety of doors, windows, and exterior color schemes. The ease of steel construction allows us to modify layouts and add further customizations without breaking your budget. From brewery design plans to construction, we provide the materials and expertise to transform a building kit into a brewery.

Efficient Microbrewery Building Costs

While steel is best known for its strength, there are a few other factors that make steel a superior building material. One advantage of steel construction is design flexibility. Breweries are popping up across the country, and as this space gets more competitive, there is a need for a unique brewery experience. Whether it’s for tours, a bar, or restaurant, the ability to style your floor plan according to use is needed to maximize efficiency and effect.

Another key advantage in choosing a steel building for your brewery is the ease of maintenance. The brewing process requires an extremely precise attention to detail. With a steel building, you can focus your time and energy on producing great beer and running your business rather than maintaining your building.
