We invited a panel of industrial brewing experts onto one of our recent “virtual happy hours” with our Manufacturing Happy Hour Industry Community, and the conversation was too good not to turn it into a podcast! This episode features a fireside chat that we co-hosted with Steve Grundy, the Founder & CEO of Top 5 Solutions, who assembled a rockstar cast of beer industry leaders, including:

• Connor MacDonald, a Brewing Automation and Controls Expert at McRae Integration
• Stephen Rich, Brewmaster and Director of Innovation & Education at Cowbell Brewing
• Nicholas Chan, Owner of ICONICK Project Group

In this first episode of our 2-part deep-dive into the beer industry, our panelists cover:

• Smart manufacturing and brewing industry technology
• Trends impacting manufacturing and the associated need for flexibility in beer-making
• An in-depth discussion on sustainability, including examples of lowering your carbon footprint and reducing water usage
